The year 2000 marks the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Navy's submarine force. Today's attack submarine is one of the most lethal weapons in the nation's arsenal, and the ballistic missile submarine constitutes a very important component of the country's strategic deterrent. The original stealth weapon, the submarine cruises the world's oceans unseen, carrying out a variety of missions.
