Isn't the SSGN is basically the arsenal ship the Navy wanted, only far more devastating and practical?
We don't have enough tomahawks/etc to fill them all.
I think the 688Is became the alterintive to the Ohios for TLAMsI heard that rumor 8 years ago in ROTC when they were converting the boomers to TLAM boats; that can't still be true?
They have already converted a few SSBNs to SSGNs (TLAM subs). They can hold a ridiculous amount of missiles, but we don't have enough to keep them all filled all the time. We have four SSGNs and they can hold 154 Tomahawks eachI heard that rumor 8 years ago in ROTC when they were converting the boomers to TLAM boats; that can't still be true?

EDIT: I actually don't know if we are planning on converting any more of them
It would have been something else to see all those Tomahawks flying out of the SSGN that shot them into Libya.
I had a SWO friend who was underway off the coast of Libya who's CO told them to look out to port at x time. It was an awesome sight, I'd hate to be on the receiving end.
Shortly after that I knew a LT escorting a tour in Kings Bay and was surprised the Florida? was back, the response was "they were out of certain items needed for their mission"
Soft serve was likely broken...Pork rinds and snuff?
