Conduct and support of amphibious operations from United States submarines in World War II.
The U.S. Navy is building Virginia class submarines, and recently completed the conversion of four Ohio class submarines from Trident Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN's) to Guided Missile Submarines (SSGN's). The Virginia class is the first nuclear powered fast attack submarine (SSN) tha...
