“Boomer” Buzz

When the United States wants to remind not-so-friendly neighbors not to be messin’, we’ll have “boomers” like the USS Nevada pop up from the depths and create a little Buzz. This one surfaced in Guam.

Packing a serious nuclear warhead punch, subs like these are usually hiding out deep in one of the oceans as a deterrent to attack on the US or our allies. Each sub carries 24 missiles, each with multiple independently targetable nuclear warheads…. possibly eight or more. Luckily, in the 6o or so years subs like these have been patrolling the depths, we haven’t had to use them. Thank you for your service!
