USS Dreadnought (SSK-665)

USS Dreadnought (SSK-665) was a US Navy submarine launched in the 1950s, named after the famous battleship Dreadnought. It was a slow, quiet, and stealthy vessel designed primarily for hunting other submarines during the Cold War. Unlike fast attack submarines, it focused on underwater endurance and sonar technology to detect enemies. Dreadnought contributed to the Navy’s anti-submarine tactics by tracking potential threats and gathering intelligence. It served until the late 1970s, exemplifying advancements in submarine technology and the strategic importance of undersea warfare during that era.
