(2004-12-04) — Wal-Mart today announced a deal to market the new ‘Made in China‘ ballistic missile submarine through its 4,900 retail stores, adding a “big-ticket item” to help boost sales just in time for the holidays.

“It’s Wal-Mart’s first truly intercontinental strategic nuclear delivery system,” according to a company news release. “The 094-Class sub offers better first-strike survivability when compared with land-based nuclear missile launch platforms and Wal-Mart sells it an everyday low price, backed by a no-hassle return policy.”

Wal-Mart will market the Chinese submarine under the ‘Faded Glory’ brand name.
