In this paper, we present a characterization of strong subdifferentiability of the norm of bounded linear operators on $\ell _p$
spaces, $1\leq p<\infty $
. Furthermore, we prove that the set of all bounded linear operators in ${B}(\ell _p, \ell _q)$
for which the norm of ${B}(\ell _p, \ell _q)$
is strongly subdifferentiable is dense in ${B}(\ell _p, \ell _q)$
. Additionally, we present a characterization of Fréchet differentiability of the norm of bounded linear operators from $\ell _p$
to $\ell _q$
, where $1 < p, q < \infty $
. Applying this result, we will show that the Fréchet differentiability and the Gateaux differentiability of the norm of bounded linear operators on $\ell _p$
spaces coincide, extending a known theorem regarding the operator norm on Hilbert spaces.
