Ohio-class submarine

The Ohio-class submarine is a type of nuclear-powered submarine used by the United States Navy. Commissioned in the 1980s, these submarines are primarily designed for strategic deterrence, carrying Trident ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Each submarine can operate underwater for long periods, making them stealthy platforms for national defense. In addition to their missile capabilities, some have been modified for special warfare missions. With a length of about 560 feet and a crew of roughly crew members, Ohio-class submarines play a crucial role in maintaining the U.S. military's nuclear deterrent strategy.
