  The USS Ohio (SSBN 726) is one of the most powerful submarines of the US Navy, commissioned in 1981 as a strategic ballistic missile submarine. Submarines of this class formed the backbone of the nuclear triad during the Cold War. In contrast, the Soviet Alfa class (Project 705) were revolutionary, fast, and deep-diving nuclear submarines with unique designs, introduced into service from 1977 to 1983. The Soviet Tu-95 Bear D was a long-range maritime patrol aircraft, and the Ka-25B Hormone was a ship-based helicopter designed mainly for anti-submarine warfare.
