===Weapons=== [[File:USS Santa Fe (SSN-763) VLS doors open.jpg|thumb|A portside bow view of the fore section of {{USS|Santa Fe|SSN-763|6}} tied up at the pier in February 1994: The doors of the Mark 36 vertical launch system for the Tomahawk missiles are in the "open" position.]] ''Los Angeles''-class submarines carry 24 [[torpedo tube]]-launched weapons, as well as Mark 67 and [[Mark 60 CAPTOR]] [[Naval mine|mines]] and were designed to launch [[Tomahawk (missile family)|Tomahawk]] [[cruise missile]]s, and [[Harpoon (missile)|Harpoon missiles]] horizontally (from the torpedo tubes). The last 31 boats of this class (Flight II and Flight III/688i) also have 12 dedicated [[vertical launching system]] tubes for launching Tomahawks. The tube configuration for the first two boats of Flight II differed from the later ones: ''Providence'' and ''Pittsburgh'' have four rows of three tubes vs. the inner two rows of four and outer two rows of two tubes found on other examples. The 688i ("improved") model submarines are capable of deploying the Mk 67 [[Submarine Launched Mobile Mines]].<ref name="Winnefeld 2023">Winnefeld, James A.
