The first four Trident SSBN submarines have been proposed for conversion into conventional missile platforms, or SSGNs, and may arrive in the fleet as soon as 2005. As a formidable theater asset, the SSGN operational strengths and limitations must be addressed by the Department of Defense. Further, the operational concept for this asset must be developed and practiced in order to realize the SSGN's full potential. From the operational commander's perspective, the SSGN will provide operational functions unlike any previous submarine. This paper will prove that the operational commander will be able to overcome command, control and communications difficulties to truly integrate the SSGN within the joint warfighting arena. The commander will surmount these difficulties through revisions to organizational structure and current doctrine, and the expanded use of current communications technology.
