Today, U.S. nuclear powered submarines are an integral part of any U.S. Navy, Joint or Combined Forces team. U.S. Submarines operate covertly, free of logistics support for extended periods. Using advanced technology, submarines operating "Forward....From the Sea", independently, or with other Naval Forces are an invaluable sensor and weapons system platform. The Navy's multi-mission submarines - Fast Attack (SSN) and Ballistic Missile (SSBN) - are key elements to a balanced naval force.


The U.S. Navy's Submarine Force has the world's most capable submarines, manned by the world's best trained and motivated submariners. During political or military confrontation, any potential adversary must assume that United States Navy Submarines are present and consider the consequences.
