I see it’s an Ohio class vessel. What’s the main difference between an Ohio and LA class sub?

LA class is a fast attack boat performing typical submarine duties. Carries torpedoes & cruise missiles.

Ohio class is a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM or Boomer) boat and can pretty much make the world go away by itself.

A CO of a boomer (Trident) is the 3rd most powerful nation so they need to have most of the act together its much better for all of us.
