Answer 5

The USA's ICBM's and SLBM's can carry up to 12 warheads each, however due to treaties with the former USSR and now Russia both nations are limited to 6 warheads per ICBM/SLBM.

Each warhead can target an individual target, so each ICBM/SLBM can target up to 6 cities, bases, installation, and so on.  The USA's SSBN, Nuclear Subs, carry 24 SBLM's which means one sub can target up to 144 individual targets
