Ohio-class submarines

Ohio-class submarines are large nuclear-powered ships used by the U.S. Navy mainly for strategic nuclear deterrence. They are designed to remain submerged for extended periods, carrying ballistic missiles capable of reaching targets worldwide. These submarines are heavily armed, stealthy, and critical to national security, providing a secure second-strike capability. Built to operate silently and undetected in the ocean, they are among the most powerful and advanced parts of the U.S. military, ensuring deterrence through assured second-strike capacity.
