To be accurate, this is a nuclear propelled attack submarine. It does not carry nuclear warheads and is not what we normally call a "nuclear deterrent".

It does not but can carry nuke tipped missiles and even though we have the screw signatures of our allies…this is still a message that the rest of the world except Moscow is looking down on us in disappointment

I believe you, but do you have a source? That's a pretty big distinction when *they're calling it a "nuclear attack submarine"!

EDIT: Clarification

What would be an example of a submarine that isn't an Attack submarine, only surveillance?

Thanks for the info. I'm curious if you have more details on what that job was (if you're able to share)! Why did you move on from it?

My current job is to operate electronic sensors on board of an aircraft. I used to work with anti-submarine helicopters. The kind of helicopters that usually operate from a military ship. Now I've been moved to work on a search and rescue aircraft. It's a nice change to be looking for people who actually want to be found.
