This page is dedicated to the 41 Boats that served as the Real deterrent to nuclear war during the Cold War era
and all the men who went to sea in them.

Not all Boats have sites on the web at present.
The links below will, at a minimum, take you to a brief description and history of each Boat.
Larger digital images of each of these ship's patches may be obtained by e-mail
