Submarines
Explore the world's complete defence inventory of submarines, with detailed specifications.
USAThe Virginia-class Block V is the most advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine in the U.S. Navy. Featuring the Virginia Payload Module, it carries up to 65 Tomahawk missiles, providing unprecedented strike capability.
RussiaThe Yasen-M (Project 885M) is Russia's most advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine. Featuring hypersonic missile capability and significantly improved stealth, it represents the pinnacle of Russian submarine technology.
USAThe Ohio class is the largest submarine ever built by the United States. As SSBNs, they carry nuclear-armed Trident missiles for strategic deterrence. Four have been converted to SSGNs carrying 154 Tomahawk missiles each.
RussiaThe Borei-A (Project 955A) is Russia's latest nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. Carrying 16 Bulava SLBMs with multiple nuclear warheads, it forms the core of Russia's sea-based nuclear deterrent.
UKThe Astute class is the Royal Navy's largest and most powerful attack submarine. With 38 weapons and a nuclear reactor that never needs refueling, it provides unmatched capability for decades of service.
USAThe Seawolf class represents the pinnacle of Cold War submarine design. Built to hunt Soviet submarines in deep ocean, these are the fastest, quietest, and most heavily armed attack submarines ever built by any nation.
FranceThe Suffren class (Barracuda program) is France's newest nuclear-powered attack submarine. The first French submarine capable of launching land-attack cruise missiles, it's 10 times quieter than the Rubis class it replaces.
ChinaThe Type 096 Tang is China's next-generation nuclear ballistic missile submarine. Designed to carry the new JL-3 intercontinental missiles, it will give China its first truly credible sea-based nuclear deterrent.
UKThe Vanguard class carries Britain's entire nuclear deterrent. Operating on Continuous At-Sea Deterrence since 1994, at least one submarine is always on patrol, ensuring the UK can always respond to nuclear attack.
ChinaThe Type 094A Jin is an improved version of China's first operational nuclear ballistic missile submarine class. Carrying JL-2 missiles with intercontinental range, it provides China's current sea-based nuclear deterrent.
IndiaThe Arihant class makes India one of only six nations operating nuclear ballistic missile submarines. Built indigenously under the Advanced Technology Vessel program, it completes India's nuclear triad.
IndiaThe Kalvari class represents India's modern conventional submarine fleet. Built under Project-75 using French Scorpène technology, these diesel-electric submarines provide the backbone of India's underwater warfare capability.
IndiaThe Sindhughosh class (Russian Kilo-class) forms the backbone of India's submarine fleet. Known as "Black Holes" by NATO for their quiet operation, these diesel-electric submarines have served India for nearly four decades.
IndiaThe Shishumar class (German Type 209) was India's first indigenously assembled submarine class. Though the oldest submarines in Indian service, ongoing upgrades keep them combat-relevant.
