Rosecrans-class submarine

The Rosecrans-class submarine was a proposed design conceived during the Cold War era by the United States, intended to serve as a fast, missile-equipped submarine primarily for strategic nuclear strike and intelligence gathering. Although it featured advanced technology and missile capabilities, it was never built or officially adopted. The class was part of broader efforts to enhance underwater military strength, but ultimately, operational needs and budget considerations led to its cancellation. Today, it remains an illustrative example of Cold War naval planning and the evolving nature of submarine warfare.
