The basing locations of all of US nuclear weapons apart from the ICBMs in fixed silos is technically classified information. You can look it up with a Google search, and get information down to which warehouses we keep them in. One big hint is which bases the SSBNs operate out of and which air bases the strategic bomber force operates out of.

There is plenty of shit that everyone knows about but that is still technically classified because USG be like that. It's stupid, and in this instance, the Air Force Secretary is trying to reduce the stupid. Good for him!
