10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lieutenant Commander Al Ventura:
The advanced capabilities that they've bought to this ship have made it a premiere front-line submarine for our submarine force. Has some of the similar missions as the previous submarines I've served on, on (inaudible) submarines, but this is taking the submarine force to a whole new level with the capability of doing soft-strike and joint operations with a embarked commander on board.

STORYLINE:
The USS Ohio, a (b) billion-dollar submarine and the US Navy's newest twist on underwater warfare, is hovering just below the surface of the water off the Pacific island of Guam.
The Ohio is the first of a new class of submarine created in a conversion from 1970s vessels by trading nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) for conventional cruise missiles and a contingent of commandos ready to be launched onto virtually any shore through re-jiggered missile tubes, against conventional forces or terrorists.
The sub's cruise across the Pacific comes as China builds its submarine fleet into the region's largest as part of the bulking up of its military.
The voyage is the Ohio's first deployment since the makeover.
The captain of the submarine can't talk about where the ship is going.
The back of the ship, where the nuclear power plant is located, is off limits.
The leader of the SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) commando contingent aboard can't be named, and the commandos themselves can't be photographed in any way that shows their faces.
But, over the next few months, the Ohio will be making a very public statement, training intensively in some of the world's most crowded and contested waters and joining in exercises with America's Asian allies.
Instead of hiding them, the Ohio will be showcasing its abilities to elude detection and operate too deeply and quickly to be tracked.
Then it will likely do what it does best, vanish.
Just about every country with a coastline in Asia wants or has subs.
China, Japan, Australia, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Singapore, Bangladesh and South and North Korea either now have or are planning to acquire them.
Most don't pose much of a threat to the more advanced American fleet. But that is changing.
While Russia continues to be a factor, China now has the biggest submarine fleet in the region, with nearly 60.
The US has upped its presence in the Pacific, and now has more ships, and more subs, in this part of the world than in the Atlantic.
Washington has repeatedly expressed concern that China is pouring money into expanding its forces.
Beijing increased its military budget by nearly 18 percent to about 45 (b) billion US dollars last year, the largest annual hike in more than a decade, and US officials believe actual spending is greater.
The Ohio has both vast firepower and the ability to deploy quickly to wherever it's needed.
It has 24 launch tubes, 15 of which have been fitted for multiple Tomahawks, more than 100 in total.
That's more than were launched in the entire first Gulf War.
