Navy vehicles help win wars and defend the United States of America. A wide range of vehicles are designed with different abilities for a variety of purposes. These seafaring vehicles may provide protection on the open seas, intimidate enemy countries, and aid our troops in far corners of the world. A few examples of types of vehicles include aircraft carriers, submarines, and warships. Each of these allows the US navy to maintain its superiority on the world’s oceans.
Two types of military vehicles that are essential to America’s Navy are warships and submarines. While warships are mighty, massive, and visible on the ocean surface, submarines are highly advanced and discreetly travel below the surface. They are both used for the purposes of defensive and offensive military tactics. Warships use advanced weapons to engage in conflict. Submarines are capable of strategic missions, while avoiding detection.
To determine the future warships and submarines of the U.S. Navy, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Upcoming U.S. Navy Commissionings, a military data site. We compiled data on all ships and submarines that have at least had their keel laid and ordered these alphabetically. We included supplemental information regarding the classification of vessel, unit type, and current status.
Why Are We Covering This?
Knowing the most recent ships and submarines to enter the U.S. Navy is important for understanding the state of national security in the United States. Also, the Navy is the United States’ primary method of projecting power across vast distances and maintaining a secure balance within the global community.
