An SLBM, or Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile, is a type of ballistic missile designed to be launched from submarines. These missiles are typically used for nuclear deterrence and can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads. SLBMs are capable of striking land targets at great distances, enhancing the strategic capabilities of naval forces by allowing for stealthy, mobile launch platforms. Their deployment contributes to a nation’s second-strike capability, ensuring a retaliatory response in the event of a nuclear attack.

When did the US have the capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles from a submarine?
The Polaris SLBM program started in 1956; the first successful launch from the USS George Washington (SSBN-598) was on July 20, 1960. Later in 1961 the Polaris A-2 SLBM entered active service in the Navy's submarine fleet.
What is a Submariner called?
In the American submarine force their are two types of missiles: 1. Tomahawk® Land Attack Missile (TLAM) 2. Sea-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warhead is what is deployed on a SLBM. The TLAM can carry a conventional warhead or a single nuclear warhead.

What is the name of underground missile was launched?
The underground missile launched is typically referred to as the "Subsurface-launched ballistic missile" (SLBM). One of the most well-known examples is the "Trident" missile, which is launched from submarines. Another example is North Korea's "Pukguksong" missile series, which is designed to be launched from underwater platforms.

Who invented the nuclear missile?
This is two separate inventions: the nuclear bomb/warhead and the vertical launch long range rocket. They were separately invented at different times by different people, then mated together to make SRBM, IRBM, SLBM, and ICBM. Robert Goddard & Werner von Braun both independently invented different vertical launch long range rockets. Leo Szilard invented the fission bomb, Stan Ulam and Edward Teller invented the fusion bomb.
What is the Strategic arms limitation treaty?
This was a treaty between the united states (durring the presidency of Richard Nixon) and the Soviet Union (under Premier Brezniev) which planned to stop the ever increasing number of ICBMs deployed by both nations. This allowed the Soviet Union to come to a parity with the United States and held the United States from expanding their stock pile. The three principla delivery systems affected were long range bombers, Submarines (SLBM), and land based ICBMs. The treaty was signed in the early 1970's.
