Missile Jettison Alarm
The missile jettison alarm is used to warn of the imminent jettisoning (not launching) of a ballistic missile, and is currently found only on an Ohio-class submarine.
The alarm is a repeating rapidly rising tone, often compared to the "Red Alert" alarm from the original Star Trek series.
The missile jettison alarm handle is a blue crown.
