SSBN Program

Currently, the U.S. SSBN force consists of 14 Ohio-class submarines. Built between 1974 and 1997, they remain ready, in a secure and survivable posture to strike if needed.

An effective nuclear deterrent to prevent attacks on the United States from countries armed with nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction is a national security imperative.
