The Los Angeles Class SSN specifically included ASW against Soviet submarines trying to sink the U.S. carrier and ASuW against capital ships in the group of the surface of the Soviet action [SAG]. The LOS ANGELES class SSN was designed almost exclusively for Carrier Battlegroup escort, they were fast, quiet, and could launch torpedoes Mk48 and ADCAP, Harpoon anti-ship missiles (and not taken), and both attack and against the land ships (no longer carried) Tomahawk cruise missiles. The new submarines showed another step improvement in quieting and increased operating speed that allows them to support the CVBG. Escort duties included conducting ASW sweeps hundreds of miles ahead of the attacks and carrying out CVBG against SAG.The submarines of the Los Angeles-class ships are some of the most advanced submarine of its kind in the world. While anti-submarine warfare remains its primary mission, the inherent characteristics of the submarine's stealth, mobility and endurance are used to meet the challenges of current global geopolitical climate change. Submarines are able to get on station quickly, stay for an extended period of time and carry out a variety of missions including the deployment of special forces, undermined, and the attack precision strike land.
