Strategic missile submarines

Strategic missile submarines are a type of naval vessel designed for long-term, stealthy patrols to carry and launch nuclear missiles. They operate underwater, making them difficult to detect, and serve as a crucial component of a country's nuclear deterrent strategy. Their main role is to ensure that, in case of a nuclear threat, they can retaliate decisively, maintaining international stability through deterrence. These submarines are equipped with ballistic missiles capable of reaching distant targets, and their submerged operations allow them to remain undetected for extended periods, providing a secure and flexible second-strike capability.
