Had to look those acronyms up.
“The SSNs and SSGNs are multi-mission ships that perform a variety of peacetime and wartime missions. They do not carry nuclear weapons. The SSBNs, in contrast, perform a specialized mission of strategic nuclear deterrence.”
I wonder how one class performs “strategic nuclear deterrence” wo/ a nuke or two on-board?
““The SSNs and SSGNs are multi-mission ships that perform a variety of peacetime and wartime missions.”
True.
” They do not carry nuclear weapons. “
On my first SSN weekly op after just reporting I had to bunk in the torpedo room. I still remember the radiation signs on the warheads next to my body.
