A submarine launched missile (SLM) is a guided missile with the primary objective of delivery of nuclear warheads through a submarine. Most designs allow a single missile to target multiple targets simultaneously. Modern SLMs are closer to intercontinental ballistic missiles which have a range of over 5,500 kilometers. The first deign was developed by the Germans during the Second World War. However, the war came to an end before it could be tested. Since then, there have been tremendous improvements in the submarine launched missile technology which enables them to dodge reconnaissance satellites and launch nuclear warheads with virtual impunity.
