Columbia-class

The Columbia-class is a new fleet of submarines designed for the U.S. Navy to serve as a critical part of the country’s nuclear deterrent. These submarines are equipped with long-range nuclear missiles and are built for stealth, durability, and security, ensuring they can operate silently underwater for extended periods. Their primary role is to provide a continuous, reliable nuclear presence that deters potential adversaries from attacking the U.S. or its allies. The Columbia-class will replace older submarines, maintaining the nation’s strategic defense capability and enhancing national security for decades to come.
