Ballistic missile submarines have a single strategic mission of carrying nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

(See The third phase of testing for submarine fitness is escape training, utilizing the The escape testing proceeds as in the pressure test, except that this time, a hatch in the floor of the pressure chamber is opened. The Navy has three classes of SSNs in service. It is part of a wider (Integrated electric power) concept whose aim is to create an "all electric vessel".Conceptually, electric drive is only a segment of the propulsion system (it does not replace the nuclear reactor or the Various electric motors have and are being developed for both military and non-military vessels.More recent data shows that the U.S. Navy appears to be focusing on permanent-magnet, radial-gap electric propulsion motors (although the In December 2008, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation was selected to design the Common Missile Compartment that will be used on the In 2012, the U.S. Navy announced plans for its SSBN(X) to share a common missile compartment (CMC) design with the Royal Navy's

Attack submarines have several tactical missions, including sinking ships and subs, launching cruise missiles, and gathering intelligence. As they ascend, each testee must allow the air in his lungs to escape, this is facilitated by yelling as loudly as possible. The U.S. currently operates three classes of fast attack submarine: the In order to comply with arms reduction against the U.S. Navy submarines are manned solely by volunteers from within the Navy.Some 5,000 officers and 55,000 enlisted sailors make up the submarine force. The design changes were successfully proven out during NORTH DAKOTA's Builder Sea Trials in August 2014.

The submarines could help to maintain the Navy’s advantage in submarine-on-submarine warfare while also filling a looming shortfall in the sailing branch’s capacity for sea-to-land missile strikes. Virginia class SSNs have a fly-by-wire ship control system that provides improved shallow-water ship handling. Naval Submarine School New London, located within the Besides their academic and technical training, much of which is Classified Secret or Top Secret, all prospective US Naval Submariners, both officers and enlisted personnel, undergo 3 phases of physical training and testing related to the intense pressure differential between the surface and submarine operating depth. The class has special features to support SOF, including a reconfigurable torpedo room which can accommodate a large number of SOF and all their equipment for prolonged deployments and future off-board payloads. The U.S. Navy plans to develop two new classes of submarine, according to congressional analysis of the sea service’s shipbuilding plan for 2019. PRESS OFFICE The Navy also has three Seawolf-class submarines. First submarine of the United States Navy.

As part of the Virginia-class' third, or Block III, contract, the Navy redesigned approximately 20 percent of the ship to reduce their acquisition costs. By making these smaller-scale design changes to increase the component-level lifecycle of the submarine, the Navy will increase the periodicity between depot maintenance availabilities and increase the number of deployments. Submarines of the United States Navy are built in classes, using a single design for a number of boats.

Twelve VIRGINIA's have been commissioned to date and they will replace Los Angeles Class submarines as they retire.

The Virginia class has several innovations that significantly enhance its warfighting capabilities with an emphasis on littoral operations. The third ship of the class, USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23), has a 100-foot hull extension called the multi-mission platform. All submarines in the U.S. Navy are nuclear-powered. That person retains the award until someone else attains more patrols than the current holder or until he retires and it goes to the member with the next highest number of patrols.In 1965, David Miller composed the following lyrics, which are used for submariners and divers:
