OverviewSince its inception in 1960, strategic deterrence has been the sole mission of the fleet ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), which provides the nation's most survivable and enduring nuclear strike capability. The 18 submarines of the Ohio class replaced aging fleet ballistic missile submarines built in the 1960s and are far more capable.
