EXCLUSIVE: With the threat of a possible nuclear standoff growing, MarthaRaddatz reports onboard a U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarine and explores how the most destructive warships ever built are helping keep Americans safe.
ABC News' Martha Raddatz was given an exclusive tour of the inside of a U.S. nuclear submarine, which is one of the most potent deterrents in the U.S. arsenal .America's main nuclear deterrent glides undetected under the oceans as it carries a cargo of ballistic missiles that will hopefully never be used.
But in keeping with U.S. policy, Houston could neither confirm nor deny whether there were missiles with nuclear warheads aboard the submarine. Recent comments by Russian leaders about their strategic nuclear capabilities following the invasion of Ukraine have shined a spotlight on America's nuclear deterrence mission.The U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarine USS Maine is shown gliding through the ocean, as captured by an ABC drone.
To stay hidden, the submarine will surface very rarely -- if at all -- during what could be a months-long patrol underwater. ABC News was allowed to witness a simulated launch exercise where redundancies are an integral security measure intended to ensure the validity of a presidential order to launch missiles.
