2 million deaths,the loss of over 100 warships, loss of tens of thousands of aircraft and wholesale firebombing of Japan couldn't convince the Japanese leadership to surrender. Two nuclear bombs did. And those were merely 14 kt bombs. Modern submarine launched ballistic missiles like the Trident can carry 8 warheads clocking in at 200-400kt.
