Submarine Launched Mobile Mines
open-in-new
<p>Submarine Launched Mobile Mines (SLMM) are a modern type of <a href="/facts/Naval_mine/jo9uVY9U">naval mine</a> designed to be deployed by <a href="/facts/Submarine/6fhcAKHV">submarines</a>. The chief example is the Mark 67 SLMM, currently used by the <a href="/facts/United_States_Navy/xYK0fUou">United States Navy</a> and capable of deployment on 688i <a href="/facts/Los_Angeles-class/fjmGRMUt">Los Angeles-class</a> submarines. These mines offer a strategic advantage by allowing for clandestine deployment in hostile or denied areas, such as ports or shipping lanes, making them difficult to detect and counter. </p>
