Of course the target list only shows those places which received 0.5 megatons or greater...
The Soviets had numerous sub launched and ICBMs with less than 500 kiloton warheads (how many and which models I'll leave to others to post). Therefore is is quite conceivable all branches of the US military was effectively decapitated in the exchanges (just like the civilian government).

Something to keep in mind is that "Little Boy", the bomb that hit Hiroshima, was only about 13-18 kilotons - barely a drop in the ocean when compared to even half a megaton, the lower yield limit of the listed strikes.
