  Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(The first Soviet ballistic missile submarines were diesel-powered.) They played an important part in Cold War mutual deterrence, as both the United States and the Soviet Union had the credible ability to conduct a retaliatory strike against the other nation in the event of a first strike.
The Soviet Navy also developed several types of missile attack submarines (SSGNs), which carried a heavy load of anti-surface missiles, as their primary targets were U.S. aircraft carriers.
The boats are armed with torpedoes, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and, in many cases, Tomahawk cruise missiles; all are fired from their torpedo tubes.
