Naval Nuclear Warfare

Naval nuclear warfare refers to the use of nuclear weapons deployed by naval forces, particularly submarines and aircraft carriers. During the Atomic Age, starting in the mid-20th century, nations like the United States and the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons as part of their military strategy. These weapons could be launched from submarines hidden underwater or delivered by bombers, creating a powerful deterrent against attacks. The presence of nuclear-armed naval forces aims to prevent conflicts through the threat of mutual destruction, influencing global politics and military strategies significantly during the Cold War and beyond.
