The sign accompanying the reentry vehicle. It reads
Mark 6 Nuclear Warhead
The massive missile set atop the Titan II
The Mark 6 reentry vehicle carried the 9 megaton W-53 thermo-nuclear warhead,
which weighed 8380 lbs and had a range of 5500 miles while traveling at 15,000
mph.
Strictly speaking, I think it was the Titan
II which had the 5,500-mile range :-)
