A submarine is a vehicle that travels under water (i.e. an underwater boat). The submarine was invented in the 17th century. Though it was originally designed for the purpose of exploration, its military benefits soon became clear. The first military submarine was the Turtle used by America in our Revolution. Submarines were used in many other wars since, most notably World Wars I and II, and are still used for their original purpose of exploration to this day.

Today, the United States Navy operates 14 Ohio class SSBN's, 4 Ohio class SSGN's, 3 Seawolf class SSN's, 40something Los Angeles Class SSN's, and 2 commisioned Virginia class SSN's.

An SSN is Submersible Ship Nuclear(powered)
SSBN is Submersible Ship Ballistic Nuclear (ballistic missles)
SSGN is Submersible Ship Guided Nuclear (guided cruise missles)

Although all USNavy submarines are capable of launching tomahawk missle's, the SSGN's are given there designation of SSGN because they are capable of carrying 154+ tomahawk cruise missles, a massive loadout compared to that of a standard SSN.
Currently, the United States Navy maintains submarines bases in
Groton, CT
Norfolk, VA
Kingsbay, GA
Banger, WA
San Diego, CA
Pearl Harbor, HA
Guam, Guam
and atleast for the meantime there is a submarine tender at the NSA(naval support activity) located in LaMadalena, Italy. An island off the coast of Sardinia.
