What problems did nuclear submarines help to solve?
E = ALL OF THE ABOVE A = Nuclear Power allows the Submarine to carry weapons to distant places without any ones knowledge, where as a Diesel Submarine can more easily be detected due to the fact of having to snorkel, giving notice to a potential threat of its presence. B= The ability to stay submerged for long periods allows it to remain where it wants as long as required, and as stated above to put itself anywhere in the world without a adversary knowing if it is there. C= Nuclear Power allows a submarine to Maritain high speeds for as long as needed, and not be limited by battery capacity, this can be very use full for evading a torpedo, or quickly be able to get to any point on the planet (compared to a diesel submarine) D= SSBN are able to stay at sea for long periods during deterrent patrols, and also in the beginning of the SLBM program the missiles did not have the Intercontinental Range todays do, so an SSBN may have to leave a US port a covertly position closer to target shore
