The U.S. Submarine Force will remain the world's preeminent Submarine Force. We will aggressively incorporate new and innovative technologies to maintain dominance throughout the maritime battle space. We will promote the multiple capabilities of submarines and develop tactics to support national objectives through battle space preparation, sea control, supporting the land battle and strategic deterrence. We will fill the role of the Joint Commanders' stealthy, full spectrum expeditionary platform. Navy Sub Vision Page Navy Submarines' Operational Abilities Conventionally, a submarine's covert or overt operations instill fear and uncertainty in opposition.
Submarines provide precise, unexpected, conventional punch with reduced risk to U.S. personnel.
Subs provide sustained independent and undetected military operations in high risk areas. Being hard to destroy, subs are the most assured land attack capability in our arsenal. As non-conventional weapons platforms, subs are the instruments of choice as our nation's nuclear deterrent. They are also used for surveillance and intelligence, seeing things our satellites miss and maintaining undersea situational awareness. They are also capable of providing intelligence on short notice for our leaders.
