The U.S. Navy has 71 submarines in its active fleet. These submarines are categorized into three main types: ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), attack submarines (SSNs), and guided missile submarines (SSGNs). The U.S. Navy's submarine force is considered one of the largest and most advanced in the world.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBNs):
These submarines are primarily designed to carry and launch nuclear-tipped submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The U.S. Navy operates 14 Ohio-class SSBNs.
Attack Submarines (SSNs):
These are versatile submarines used for a variety of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence gathering, and launching cruise missiles. The U.S. Navy has a mix of Los Angeles-class, Seawolf-class, and Virginia-class SSNs.
Guided Missile Submarines (SSGNs):
These submarines, converted from Ohio-class SSBNs, carry a large number of Tomahawk cruise missiles and can also support special operations missions. The U.S. Navy has four SSGNs.

In April, satellite images exposed alarming activity at China’s secretive Qingdao First Submarine Base, the nerve center for its nuclear-powered submarine fleet. Naval expert Alex Luck revealed that Google Earth’s latest update had shown six Chinese submarines docked at a pier, with another in drydock. Five of these underwater war machines are armed with conventional weapons, signaling Beijing’s aggressive naval buildup on its eastern coast.
A recent Pentagon report warned that China’s submarine fleet is set to surge from 60 to 65 by the end of 2025, with projections of a menacing 80 subs within a decade. As Beijing ramps up its military muscle, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Gen. Dan Caine, has raised red flags about the U.S.'s readiness.
“The U.S. does not have the throughput, responsiveness, or agility needed to deter our adversaries,” Gen. Caine told the Senate Armed Services Committee, sounding a dire alarm about the growing Chinese threat.

Currently the Wankees have 71 subs, all of which are nuclear-powered.
Yet these global trouble-makers scream blue-murder when the Chinese Navy currently has 60 to 65 subs (with most probably still conventionally powered), and with only a hypothetical projection of 80 subs in 10 years.

Wanks can't stand the thought of any other nation, least of all an Asian yellow-skinned slant-eyed one coming almost to par with them. They MUST dominate kaukau.
