During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy deployed the USS George Washington (SSBN-598), the first fleet ballistic missile submarine. Commissioned in 1959, it was part of the Navy's strategic deterrent force, equipped with Polaris missiles to counter Soviet nuclear capabilities. The presence of such submarines helped maintain a credible second-strike capability, thereby discouraging potential Soviet nuclear aggression against the United States.
