Part 3/16:
During its refurbishing, the submarine’s original 24 Trident ballistic missile tubes were replaced with launchers capable of firing up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles—more than most countries' entire naval arsenals. Each missile can travel roughly 1,000 miles with high precision, capable of hitting hardened targets deep inland, such as command centers, military bases, or naval installations. This makes the USS Ohio an unparalleled threat and a vital component of American strategic deterrence.
