#YouCouldOrderAFewMore: Air Force shares one wrench to attach nuclear warheads between three missile bases (they Fed Ex it back and forth!)
From The New York Times, Nov. 13, 2014:
"Pentagon studies of America’s nuclear missile infrastructure released in November included the revelation that nuclear warheads had to be attached with a particular wrench, even though the Air Force only owned one with which to service 450 missiles housed at three bases. Consequently, one official told the New York Times, 'They started FedExing the one tool' back and forth."
