These include the Ohio head missile carrier (SSGN-726), Michigan (SSGN-727), Florida (SSGN-728) and Georgia (SSGN-729). During the modernization of 22 from 24 missile mines, originally designed to accommodate the Trident-1 ballistic missiles of the C-4 complex, they were remade to launch ToGawrah UGM-109 cruise missiles. The two mines nearest to the wheelhouse were equipped with locking chambers and can be used for attaching underwater vehicles (in this case, part of the cruise missile launchers is blocked) and for the release of combat swimmers.
On April 8, 2017, Reuters, citing its own sources, announced that an aircraft carrier strike group of the US Navy led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson was advancing to the Korean coast. The group is currently located in a work permitting area. aviation and launching ship-based cruise missiles against targets on the territory of the DPRK.
