"...SSNs are attack boats, ie hunter-killers that go after other subs and major surface combatants, tho they could be armed with nuclear tipped land attack cruise missiles I suppose. SSBNs or boomers are the missile boats...."
I stand corrected...you are right. The missile boats are Ohio class, based mostly in King's Bay, no?

You got me on that one, my knowledge of things naval comes from the popular press, Tom Clancy novels and talking to a few of the retired squids here at work!

Acually King's Bay on the east coast, and Bangor Washington on the west coast.
