If the Navy sent 1, they probably sent 3 of them to the region from various locations.

Things are building up for a real blood bath between the US Military and Iran, with few proxies involved. Iran’s military needs to be taken down several notches. Bullies always need to be taught a lesson.

It will be like Pearl Harbor after Joe puts most of our naval vessels in one area.

The Ohio-class submarine is a class of nuclear-powered submarines used by the United States Navy. They are primarily designed for strategic deterrence and have multiple roles:

1. Strategic Nuclear Deterrence: These submarines are equipped with ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads. Their main role is to provide a second-strike capability, ensuring that the U.S. maintains a credible nuclear deterrent.

2. Versatility: Ohio-class submarines can carry up to 24 Trident II D5 nuclear missiles, but they can also be reconfigured to carry conventional Tomahawk cruise missiles for non-nuclear missions.

3. Stealth: They are known for their stealth and ability to operate quietly beneath the ocean’s surface, making them difficult to detect by adversaries.

4. Long Patrols: These submarines can remain submerged for extended periods, allowing them to patrol and maintain a continuous presence in strategic areas.

5. Central Command Area of Responsibility: When an Ohio-class submarine arrives in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, it could be part of a broader U.S. military strategy in the region, which may involve deterrence, surveillance, or support for national security objectives.

Ohio-class submarines play a crucial role in the U.S. nuclear triad and can serve various strategic and tactical missions to protect national security interests. Their arrival in a specific area of responsibility may be part of broader military planning and objectives.

It’s an SSGN armed with 150+ Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Just enough to lay waste to Iran’s nuclear program when needed.

Ohio class subs are the single most destructive war machine in the history of war. Boomers.
