Reuters/US Navy HandoutThe United States Navy operates some of the most advanced and capable submarines ever to sail, commonly split into three operational categories: ballistic-missile subs, guided-missile subs, and attack subs.
Guided-missile submarines are the same platforms as the Navy's boomers, but were converted to launch conventional munitions and deploy special-operations troops.
