US Naval Institute Examines Shrinking Nuclear Forces Amid Rivalries

Original: Fewer Boomers. Fewer Tubes. More Adversaries. | Proceedings - October 2026 Vol. 152/10/1,484

The US Naval Institute's October 2026 Proceedings examines how the strategic environment is shifting: fewer boomer submarines and missile tubes at a time when the United States faces more nuclear-armed adversaries than during the Cold War. The debate touches on whether the Navy can balance fleet modernisation, arms control constraints and deterrence against peer competitors while force structure grows tighter.

Why now: Discussion of declining strategic submarine capacity against rising nuclear threats is timely amid global arms competition.
