While dismantled, its parts were still intact from a SLBM Nuclear Warhead, which should be comparable to the Titan-II Warhead, which would yield 9 Megatons
This... is laughable.

This is all ignoring this movie takes place in October 1957 and the Titan-II went into proper use in 1962, ignoring that the Titan-II was NEVER an SLBM, AND ignoring the submarine in the movie is directly stated to be the USS Nautilus which we know does not fire 9 megaton warheads.

so that's wrong, blatantly so at that... so what does the USS Nautilus fire?

Either Regulus Is which have a payload of up to 2 Megatons or a UGM-27 Polaris, which has a yield of 600 Kilotons.

Well, it's not it's not THAT so that ***** is a Polaris, so downgraded from City level to Large Town level+.

Yeah, we should probably be scaling it to a historically accurate missile rather than a random ICBM that was used. So I agree with the downgrade.
