	SSBN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		SSBN is the United States Navy Hull classification symbol for a fleet ballistic nuclear missile submarine.
		It differs from SSN, the fast attack submarine in that the primary mission of the SSBN is nuclear deterrence while the SSN is primarily a hunter/killer.
		The SSBN also is unique in that it has two crews per boat to maximize patrol time.

	Ohio class submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Ohio class of fleet ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), also known as "Trident" submarines, provides the sea-based leg of the triad of the United States strategic deterrent forces.
		The 18 Trident SSBNs (each carrying 24 missiles), carry around 50 percent of the total U.S. strategic warheads.
		SSBNs: 24 tubes for Trident I and II, MK-48 torpedoes, mobile submarine simulator decoys, four torpedo tubes.

		The SSBN provides the nation's most survivable and enduring nuclear strike capability.
		Although the missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarine goes on patrol, the SSBNs are capable of rapidly targeting their missiles should the need arise, using secure and constant at-sea communications links.
		Beginning with the ninth Trident submarine, USS Tennessee (SSBN 734), all new ships are equipped with the Trident II D-5 missile system as they are built, and the earlier ships are being retrofitted to Trident II.

	MILNET: U.S.S. Tennesee SSBN-734
		The U.S.S. Tennesee SSN-734 is one of 18 Ohio class SSBN submarines carrying 24 vertical tubes for launching Trident II (D-5) SLBMs (Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles).
		The SSBN uses stealth to approach its firing area or perhaps to navigate between a number of possible firing areas.
		SSBNs have fairly sophisticated sonar and hydrophone detection systems themselves in order to avoid detection by detecting their pursurers first.

	SSBN-726 Ohio-Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine SSBN - United States Nuclear Forces
		Each SSBN is at sea at least 66 percent of the time, including major overhaul periods of twelve months every nine years.
		One SSBN combat employment cycle includes a 70-day patrol and 25-day period of transfer of the submarine to the other crew, between-deployment maintenance, and reloading of munitions.
		SSBN 726 Class Submarine shipboard equipment which requires significant maintenance during the planned operating cycle, industrial level maintenance, which is beyond the capability of Ship's Force, and which cannot be accomplished during the refit period (without unacceptable impact on other refit requirements), is supported by TRIDENT Planned Equipment Repair (TRIPER) program.

	Ballistic missile submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Accordingly, the mission profile of a ballistic missile submarine concentrates on remaining undetected, rather than aggressively pursuing other vessels.
		SSBN is the United States Navy's hull classification symbol for a fleet ballistic nuclear missile submarine.
		The SS denotes a (ship) submarine, the B denotes ballistic missile capability, and the N denotes nuclear power.

	USS Casimir Pulaski (SSBN-633) -- The Story Of A Cold War Warrior
		By the mid 1980's all of the initial 41 SSBN's were either equipped with the Poseidon or Trident missile.
		An American announcement of a follow-on class of SSBN, the Ohio Class and an even newer missile for it, the Trident, was the last straw.
		A sixth Typhoon Class SSBN was rushed through with bonuses and other incentives to place the boat in active service ahead of schedule.

	The SSBN Security Program
		When the VTF attempted to address this issue in all its generality, however, it quickly realized there were too many gaps in our knowledge of both the threat and the physical aspects of underwater detection, tracking, and engagement to arrive at a definitive answer.
		The Operations Security area of the SSBN Security Program concentrates on monitoring, analyzing, and assessing real-world SSBN operations to identify improved tactics and techniques for raising the general security level of deterrent patrols.
		A recent example is the “Foundations Assessment,” which investigated whether today’s SSBN force operates under assumptions appropriate to the post-Cold War environment.

		Land based bombers and intercontinental missiles are being reduced; by the late 1990s the land based strategic forces will consist of some 20 B-2 long-range bombers carrying stand-off attack missiles, each with only one warhead.
		The SSBN force will be the only Triad element still deploying missiles armed with Multiple Independently targeted Re-entry Vehicles.
		A review of SSBN warheads is being made by the United States as part of the reduction of strategic weapons directed by the President.

	Chinese Defence Today :: Type 094 Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine (SSBN) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Incorporating some Russian technology, the Type 094 SSBN is expected to be a dramatic improvement over the sole Type 092 (Xia class) SSBN, with improved quieting and sensor systems, and a more reliable propulsion system.
		Plans to deploy this class of nuclear powered SSBNs are said to have been delayed due to problems with the nuclear reactor power plants.
		Several years would be required for submarine construction, and probably an additional year or two for shake-down trials of the submarine, and testing of the JL-2 from the submarine.

	USS Benjamin Franklin -- SSBN 640
		TRIDENT submarines, like all previous SSBN's, have two separate identical crews (called "blue" and "gold" for the Navy colors) who alternate manning the boat.
		This arrangement allows for maximum utilization of the ship at sea, while managing to maintain quality of life for the assigned crew members.
		An SSBN at sea and submerged is essentially invisible, and hence survivable from an enemy attack.

	SSBN-616 Lafayette-Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines - SSBN - United States Nuclear Forces
		Previously, an operational SSBN was scheduled to undergo an overhaul approximately every 7 ½ years, which resulted in taking it off line for almost 2 years.
		The first SSBN to undergo ERP was the USS James Madison (SSBN-627); the ERP was conducted at the Holy Loch, Scotland, tender refit site in September- November 1974.
		Five additional SSBNs 629, 630, and 634 underwent a "pierside backfit" while three other SSBNs (627, 632, and 633) were backfitted during their normally-scheduled second shipyard overhauls.

	Civ 3 :: View topic - Typhoon SSBN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As for using it in present Civ3, you can keep the missile animation and give the sub a bombard ability or remove the missile.flc from the INI file anduse it like a normal sub with missile carrying capability.
		So we are probably talking about the sub representing a single military unit, while helicopters and tanks represent a 2-digit number (as in tanks, not divisions- perhaps battallion-size), and foot units go by the hundreds- otherwise this wouldn't make sense either in the game of in the real world.
		At depth, if a submarine suffers a hull breach,the water pressure would be so high, that the ocean would rush through the entire sub at super-sonicspeeds, destroying bulkheads and incinerating the crew....leaving the outer hull relatively intact bu the inside would be scrap.
