The US is the world's largest arms exporter but has not sold a single submarine internationally in over 50 years, due to strategic and regulatory decisions despite leading in submarine technology. Allies like Canada and India are signing major submarine deals with other countries such as Germany, highlighting a $40 billion market missed by the US defense industry.
