Submarines
America’s submarine force has played a number of roles in a hundred years of both war and peace: attack, surveillance, commando insertion, research, and nuclear deterrent. Through all this, the Navy has found men to serve proudly in the Silent Service, where standards are high and where the victories are often kept secret.
Submariners, like their “boats”, are tough, quiet and work well under pressure. Fewer than five percent of sailors are qualified for submarine duty. But for those who do earn their “dolphins” (the insignia of the submariner), there awaits an experience like no other.
