The Undersea Warfare Division (U.S. Navy) is a vital component of the U.S. Navy responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of underwater warfare capabilities. This division encompasses a range of naval assets, including submarines, unmanned underwater vehicles, and various sensors and weapons systems designed to operate effectively in undersea environments. The primary mission of the Undersea Warfare Division is to ensure the U.S. Navy maintains its edge in undersea warfare by providing naval forces with the necessary tools to counter enemy submarines and defend strategic undersea infrastructure. The division also supports naval operations by conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, as well as engaging in offensive and defensive operations when required.
