Submarines can carry torpedoes, cruise missiles, and mines for use in time of conflict.
Torpedoes can be used against an enemy ship or submarine. Cruise missiles are capable of precision strikes and can be used against land or ship targets several hundred miles from the submarine. Fast attack submarines are designed to pursue and attack enemy submarines and surface ships using torpedoes. They also carry cruise missiles with conventional high-explosive warheads to attack enemy shore facilities. Fast attack submarines launched cruise missiles against targets in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm and targets in Serbia during the conflict in Kosovo.
