Business Insider: An Ohio-class submarine, possibly equipped with ballistic missiles, has arrived in the Mediterranean
* CENTCOM on Sunday confirmed an Ohio-class submarine has traveled to the Mediterranean Sea.
* Ohio-class submarines can be equipped with advanced ballistic or Tomahawk missiles.
* The sub was pictured appearing to sail through the Suez Canal in Egypt, which connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
An Ohio-class submarine, a type of vessel which can be equipped with advanced ballistic or Tomahawk cruise missiles, has arrived in the Mediterranean as the US continues to bolster its defensive posture amid the Israel-Hamas war.
CENTCOM, the Department of Defense combatant command with authority over US forces in the Middle East and West and Central Asia, posted a photo on Sunday of the submarine on X, formerly Twitter, confirming it had arrived in the region.
The disclosure of the submarine's location is significant as the whereabouts of the vessels are typically kept secret for security regions.

/They NEVER announce where the SSBNs are. The only reason to do so is to, "send a message". A phrase we hear and read very often
Are you listening ayatollah ?
ReplyDeleteOH SSBNs can reach global targets without leaving their piers.
ReplyDeleteThe boat announced in the East Med is likely a converted Tomahawk/TLAM carrier. 150+ cruise missiles instead of 24 ICBMs.
So lets announce it to the world. Whatever happened to the "Silent Service?" Any military knows that our nuke boats are near both carrier groups, that is SOP.
ReplyDeleteRussia delenda est
ReplyDeleteAccording to the GUR, Russia now has approximately 870 missiles in stock, which can hit targets at a distance of more than 350 kilometers.
