The Royal Navy used to have adverts that said that as a the Captain of a UK Trident sub you could make £100K a year (mind you this was a few years ago) - my genuine reaction was "I don't think that's enough". NB UK nuclear weapons don't have permissive-action locks - they don't need any code from HQ to be able to launch or for the warheads to work. They are completely under the control of their crews so being the captain of one of these subs is quite a responsibility.
