- Either named after the Titans from ancient Terran mythology or after Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Though it is more probable that it was named to show a progression of nuclear arms build up leading to the Third World war, as only Titan I & II's were ever built before the SALT II treaty. Titans III & IV were orbital launch vehicles.
