This is my finished USS Alaska, which is equipped with an armament of 24 Trident II D-5 missile tubes. As well as 4 Mark 48 torpedo tubes. This submarine here is one of my favorite builds to date, I hope all of you enjoy it as much as I have. I have it currently available in 3 different schematics, along with a world save that has all 3. The first schematic is one with no water and all 24 missile tubes open with some full and some empty. 2nd schematic is 90% submerged with all 24 missile tubes closed. 3rd schematic is fully submerged under water again with all missile tubes closed. I will have more downloads for this submarine available in the near future.

Ohio-class submarine

The Ohio class is a class of nuclear-powered submarines used by the United States Navy. The Navy has 18 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines(SSBN) and guided missile submarines (SSGN).

The Ohio class is named after the lead submarine of this class, USS Ohio. The 14 Trident II SSBNs together carry approximately fifty percent of the total US active inventory of strategic thermonuclear warheads. The exact number of warheads deployed in the oceans of the world varies in an unpredictable and classified manner, always at or below a maximum number set by various Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties. Although the Trident missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarines go on patrol, the warships, when required, are capable of quickly being assigned targets by using secure and constant radio communications links at sea, including very low frequency (VLF) systems.

All the Ohio-class submarines, except for the USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN-730), are named for U.S. states, which until that point was a tradition reserved for battleships and cruisers.

The Ohio-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy. Two classes of the Russian Navy's submarines have larger total displacements: the Soviet-designed Typhoon-class submarines have more than twice the total displacement, and the Russian Federation's Borei-classsubmarines have roughly 25 percent greater displacement, but the Ohio-class warships carry more missiles and warheads than either of the other designs: 24 Trident missiles per boat, versus only 16 missiles for the Borei class (20 for the Borei II) and 20 for the Typhoon-class.
