B41 nuclear bomb ever deployed by the United States, with a maximum yield of 25 megatons (Mt), and weighing in at . It remains the highest yield-to-weight ratio of any weapon created. The US claimed in 1963 that it could produce a 35 Mt fusion bomb, and put it on a Titan II ( payload), almost doubling the yield-to-weight ratio of the B-41. The B-41 was of the usual long cylindrical shape. The nuclear fusion warhead was of the Teller-Ulam type and used a 40–100 kiloton implosion type nuclear fission primary (reportedly based on the "Smokey" TX-41 shot of Operation Plumbbob) fueled by
