U.S. Navy Submarine Force

The U.S. Navy Submarine Force operates underwater vessels designed for stealth, defense, and strategic missions. These submarines can conduct surveillance, gather intelligence, and serve as a nuclear deterrent, especially through ballistic missile submarines. They are highly advanced, capable of operating undetected for long periods, and play a critical role in national security. The force includes different types of submarines—attack, ballistic missile, and guided missile submarines—each tailored for specific purposes. Their capabilities ensure maritime dominance, protect U.S. interests worldwide, and support global security by providing flexible, covert combat and reconnaissance options.
