The U.S. Navy submarine
force's undersea mastery and heritage started 121 years ago
on April 11, 1900 ... when the U.S. Navy purchased John
Holland’s revolutionary submarine ... that gave birth to the
nation’s silent service.
Today’s forged and honed submarine
force consists of 50 attack, 14 ballistic-missile and four
guided-missile submarines that enable the Navy and the
nation to deter war, defeat terrorists, provide relief
during disasters, and win if called upon ... with undersea dominance.
