Dreadnought (submarine)
A Dreadnought submarine is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine designed for strategic nuclear deterrence. It is heavily armed with long-range missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads, allowing it to serve as a hidden, powerful deterrent against potential threats. These submarines operate silently underwater for extended periods, making them difficult to detect, and are a key component of modern military defense strategies. Their ability to remain covert while maintaining a formidable nuclear strike capability provides stability and security for a nation by discouraging conflict through the threat of overwhelming retaliation.
