After two decades of flying high and slow over arid battlegrounds in Iraq and Afghanistan, dropping bombs on insurgents and militants, B-1 squadrons have shifted their focus to water. In their final years, B-1s will be hauling stealthy anti-ship missiles to threaten enemy fleets.

The Black Sea has become a much more dangerous place since the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. Crimea since then has become a veritable fortress on NATO’s southeastern flank.

When the 100 B-1s entered service in the early 1980s, they strictly were nuclear-strike assets. The USAF in the early 1990s de-nuclearized the type. The fleet steadily shrank through the 2000s. When the United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq two years later, there were around 60 B-1s in service.

The B-1 in 2017 became the first type the USAF modified to carry the new Long-Range Anti-Ship missile, a stealthy, 300-mile munition with a high-tech, multi-mode seeker. A B-1 can carry as many as 24 of the $3-million missiles.
