The Navy is Beefing up its Submarine force

   The Navy is seriously adding some firepower to its submarine arsenal with a newer class  of nuclear submarines which will be infinitely more deadly than anything currently in the inventory. The new project is called the Ohio Replacement Program and much of the required and detailed planning has already been done.
The best defense is a strong deterrent force because it will cause any enemy to think twice before committing to a strike. Enemy forces would also have to take extra precautions and preparations before launching any type of attack because they would have to consider fighting the formidable threat. This would make his intentions more visible and hinder the proposition of a surprise attack.
Each Submarine is designed to be 560-feet– long and will contain about 16 Trident II D5 missiles. The new submarines will be stealthy, high-tech vehicles able to patrol the entire globe.
Nuclear capable submarines came about during the cold war. Their purpose is to be able to survive an initial nuclear attack and have some missiles left to launch back at an attacking enemy. An initial attack would target all known fixed nuclear missile sites. Believe it or not these would be the first targets because destroying them assures survival in taking away the ability to kill you.
Submarines hiding in gthe ocean would house missiles which would be impossible to destroy in the first wave of the attack. they prove to be a deterrent because their whereabouts are very difficult to account for which would make it extremely difficult to prevent them from launching missiles back at you.  The price tag for this marvelous weapon; 4.9 billion dollars per copy.
