China Is Freaked: U.S. Navy Exposes Surfaced Ohio-Class Missile Submarine
 
Key Points - The USS Ohio (SSGN-726), a US Navy guided-missile submarine, recently made a port call in Guam (starting April 23rd, with photos released May 13th), serving as a clear "show of force" aimed at China within the strategically vital Indo-Pacific.

-These converted Ohio-class submarines are formidable platforms, boasting stealth and the capacity to carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles and deploy up to 66 Navy SEALs for diverse missions.
 
-The USS Ohio's presence and its joint exercises with the US Marine Corps in Guam highlight America's commitment to projecting power and countering China's anti-access/area denial efforts in the region.

Why Show China a Stealth Ohio-Class Submarine?
The US Navy has a huge advantage with its nuclear-powered cruise missile submarines. They bring so much to the fight that it is sometimes unfair.

Adversaries have no idea where they are, as the location of these boats is usually top secret, but every once in a while, they can surface to send a message that they can attack anywhere and anytime.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
