That is the Navy, the real Navy, I guess.
oh god i love i love to but they look magnificent just love there's a submarine right there
I think we're going to have some activity from fast attacks.
Maybe we'll shoot a couple of tomahawks today.
Here we go.
We're going to turn back to the commentator.
This submarine is built for longevity, stealth, and high performance.
Iowa's advanced technology allows for near-silent movement through the world's oceans.
The Iowa's crews comprise of 15 officers and 117 enlisted sailors, all highly trained and selected from the nation's most competitive candidates.
The Iowa's armament consists of four torpedo tubes and two Virginia payload tubes, each capable of holding six vertical-launch Tomahawk missiles that can strike over 1,200 miles away.
Okay, right there.
Sonny, give us a perspective of our fast attack and ballistic missile submarines.
Well, we're, of course, investing heavily in the Columbia class.
We have kind of completed construction on a vast array of ships.
We had the Seawolf class, which had three ships in that class, Connecticut, Seawolf, and Jimmy Carter.
They have a very robust shipboard combat system, including a wide aperture array.
And there is no more powerful anti-submarine capability than what comes from a submarine.
The activities that we have in Guam, which is another area that you and I operated in together, is powerful in the Taiwan Straits.
And they're finding the capabilities that they have with respect to the missile destroyers.
Okay.
