The US presented the USS Arkansas nuclear submarine, which will become one of the most modern platforms in the submarine fleet. The boat, which belongs to the Virginia class, is designed using advanced technologies that provide stealth, high maneuverability and powerful combat potential, writes Army Recognition.

The USS Arkansas is equipped with a General Electric S9G nuclear reactor capable of operating for 33 years without refueling. This allows the boat to carry out long missions in remote regions. To ensure stealth, the submarine has a hydroacoustically stealthy jet propulsion system that reduces the acoustic signature, which is critical for operations in dangerous waters.

The boat's strike capabilities include vertical launchers for Tomahawk cruise missiles and Virginia Payload Modules that add 40 missiles to attack land targets. Also on board are MK-48 ADCAP torpedoes, capable of effectively hitting underwater and surface targets thanks to advanced guidance systems.

The USS Arkansas supports special operations, including being equipped with a lock camera to deploy Navy SEALs and unmanned underwater vehicles. These functions enable the submarine to perform reconnaissance, surveillance and mine countermeasures operations.

The boat is an important element to support multi-domain US operations, demonstrating the country's readiness for the challenges of modern military confrontation.
