Some other pretty interesting capabilities are the guided missile subs also known as SSGN. They provide strike and special operation mission capabilities within a stealthy, clandestine platform. Armed with tactical missiles and equipped with superior communication capabilities, they too, house SOF. Each sub is capable of carrying up to 154 Tomahawk or tactical Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles. The two forward most misslie tubes were converted to lock-out chambers that allow clandestine insertion and retrieval of SOF personnel.
Mine Countermeasure Ships MCM. These ships, as expressed in the title, clear mines form vital waterways. These ships use sonar (aka sound navigation) and video systems, cable cutters, and a mine detonating device that can be released and detonated by remort control. The are also capable of conventional sweeping measures. The ships are of fiberglass sheathed, and wooden hull construction due to some mines are attracted to metals.
The two ships that I have experience with are the Cruiser and Destroyer type ships. The guided missile cruiser performs primarily in a battle force role. These ships are multimission air warfare, undersea warfare, naval surface fire support and surface warfare. They support carrier, amphib forces and or operate independently and as flagships of surface action groups. Cruisers are equipped with Tomahawk curise missiles giving them additional long range strike warfare capabilities. Some however, are equipped wit ballistic missiles. Destroyers, also provide mulimission offensive and defensive capabilities. Guided missile destroyers are multi mission anti air, sub, and surface combatant. They also have a weapon systme known as the MK-41 vertical launch system.
