The number varied, but at the height of President Reagan's 500-ship Navy program, the U.S. totaled around 90 submarines, including Fast-Attack, Ballistic Missile, and Diesel-Electric (4).
The current total is 71 active and 2 reserve as of May 2011 - Commissioned 14 SSBN's (Ballistic Missile Submarines) 4 SSGN's (Cruise Missile Submarines, converted SSBN's) 53 SSN's (Fast-Attack Submarines) Reserve 2 SSN's (688-class Fast-Attacks) The USS California, the newest Virginia-class SSN, is scheduled for commissioning in October 2011, with another 4 on the way.

They can also carry out surveillance and reconnaissanse. The Royal Navy also has 4 Vanguard class submarines. These submarines are ballistic missile submarines. These submarines are responsible for the UK's nuclear detterent and use the Trident missile system. There is always at least one of these boats at sea at any given time.
