requirements.
The submarine communication systems must also provide the communication support necessary for the SSBN force to ensure continued deterrence of nuclear aggression. “From the Sea” states “As long as the United States maintains
a policy of nuclear deterrence,

Although the current radio room adequately supports the strategic communications requirements, these vital links must not be degraded as tactical connectivity is improved by reprioritizing assets or communications-related acquisition programs.
