AS-15 Kent

The AS-15 Kent was an underwater missile developed by the United States during the Cold War era. It was designed to be launched from submarines and could carry a nuclear or conventional warhead. Its primary purpose was to serve as a strategic missile capable of striking land targets from underwater, enhancing the Navy’s ability to deliver powerful, clandestine attacks. The AS-15 Kent contributed to the U.S. naval missile arsenal, providing a critical component of national defense by extending the reach and survivability of strategic missile forces.
