The Ohio Class Submarines: A Symbol of US Nuclear Supremacy

Being one of the stealthiest submarines in the world, the Ohio Class submarines represent America's ace-in-the-hole. The Ohio-Class submarines were the result of an early 1970s requirement for a larger missile submarine capable of carrying the next generation and beyond of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Each displacing 18,750 tons submerged, the Ohio-class boats are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy. The Ohio-class submarines were constructed from sections of hull, with each four-deck section being 42 ft in diameter. Ohio class was designed to be 560 feet long with a beam of 42 feet enabling enough space for them to accommodate two rows of 12 Trident missiles each. Trident II, which is the latest iteration of these missiles, is capable of carrying up to 12 multiple independent re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), each with a yield of 100k. These missiles have a range up to 6,500 nautical miles. Four submarines of this class were refitted with Tomahawk TLAM (land attack) or Tactical Tomahawk (block IV) missiles. These submarines also became capable of conducting special operations missions with accommodation for Northrop Grumman advanced SEAL delivery systems (ASDS). The Ohio class is to be replaced by the Columbia class beginning in early 2030s. #submarine #ohioclass Join our YouTube channel by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3asNo2n Find us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PM21xW Find us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3t2Huvb Find us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3wQfXzA Find us on TikTok: https://bit.ly/3wNsBOu Get the latest stories: https://interestingengineering.com/ Support IE for high-quality journalism: https://interestingengineering.com/su...
