688-class submarine

The 688-class submarine, also known as the Los Angeles-class, is a group of nuclear-powered submarines used by the United States Navy. Introduced in the 1970s, these submarines are designed for various missions, including anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, and precision strikes. They can operate at great depths and travel at high speeds underwater, making them stealthy and effective. Equipped with advanced sonar and a combination of torpedoes and cruise missiles, the 688-class submarines are key components of the U.S. Navy's underwater capabilities, contributing to national security and military operations globally.
