right the SSBN is quieter because its role is to remain undetected unlike the SSN it doesnt use speed as its main feature where the SSN will go at 30 knots to cover say 100 miles the SSBN will quite happily stay at 5 knots

SSBN's avoid the limelight they avoid everything and everyone including thier own ships and submarines no one bar a hand ful of people on board knows where the submarine is and that does include the president

the role of the SSBN is to remain undetected and hidden so poodleing along at 6 knots its more than acceptable because it makes less noise than an SSN

the SSN's role is to attack the SSBN's role is to defend

the SSBN will avoid contact with everything and will not fire unless fired apon as it trys to remain stealthy

SSBN is designed to dissapear the SSN is also designed to do this but its also designed to pop up and give the enamy a shock something the SSBN isnt designed to do

SSBN's use they key items that is quietness silence and the uniqueness of the crew to thier main advantages

SSN's use speed agression and weapons as thier main advantages can you see the diffrence ?
