Default Long-range sub-launched low-yield warhead in development

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/06/...tcmp=obnetwork


Quote:
"There are currently over 1,000 nuclear warheads in the US arsenal that have low-yield options. A yield is considered low if it’s 20 kilotons or less," an essay from the Federation of American Scientists states.
I thought most Trident II D5 already carried up to ten (10) warheads that were already low yield each of round 5-6 kt's. Maybe that's what this quote means.

Quote:
The existing Trident II D5 has a massive 100-kiloton yield, bringing massive destructive power to large swaths of territories – entire cities and well beyond.
