Cruise missiles are self-propelled, guided weapons launched from platforms like attack submarines (SSNs) to deliver warheads over long distances with precision.
Electronic Support Measures/ELectronic INTelligence suite: a sensor system on submarines that detects, identifies, and locates radar and communication emissions for passive threat assessment and tactical advantage.
Sonar system mounted on submarine's flanks to detect targets.
Laying explosive mines underwater from a submarine.
