Ballistic missiles are rocket‑propelled weapons that follow a ballistic trajectory after launch, delivering warheads over long distances; submarine‑launched variants (SLBMs) are fired from submerged submarines.
Cruise missiles are self-propelled, guided weapons launched from platforms like attack submarines (SSNs) to deliver warheads over long distances with precision.
Laying explosive mines underwater from a submarine.
Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.
A system of hydrophones towed behind a vessel to detect submarines and torpedoes, minimizing interference from the ship's self-noise.
