SSGN dedicated submarine cruise-missile carriers would be decommissioned, and the substantial cruise-missile capability of the twenty-five attack submarines and forty-five Arleigh Burke destroyers could handle the rare need for offensive missions to attack state sponsors of terrorism in the developing world.

SSGN excels; in fact, one of the missions envisioned for the conversion is "future payload experimentation," an important aspect of the Navy's Sea Trial program, itself a key component of the Sea Power 21 vision.
In June 2007, the new USS Michigan SSGN-727 was returned to service as one of only four
SSGN's in the submarine fleet.
As the Navy retires its Ohio-class
SSGNs (nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines) and Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, it will sustain a 66 percent reduction in undersea payload capacity between 2024 and 2030 unless programmatic changes are made.
Designed for launch and recovery from a variety of platforms including
SSGN, Virginia SSN via their large-diameter tubes, but also surface ships, the system, for which a request for proposal is expected to be issued in 2014, is planned for operational service around the end of the decade.

After subtracting the costs for seven final reports--Advanced Deployable System (ADS), Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (D1MHRS), Javelin, Mission Planning System (MPS), Ship Self Defense System (SSDS), Ohio Class
SSGN Conversion, and T-45TS--and adding the costs for three new programs--Large Altitude Infrared Counter-measures (LAIRCM), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP), and SBSS BIO (Space Based Space Surveillance Block 10)--from the December 2007 reporting period, the adjusted current estimate of program acquisition costs was $1,647,118.6 million.
