The United States wants to dominate the world's oceans: a new attack submarine is being created in the States

In the United States, work has already begun on a new attack submarine. Thanks to the constant renewal of the underwater fleet the naval forces intend to maintain their dominance in the world's oceans.

More speed and stealth

At present, one of the main means of deterring enemy submarines is the Virginia-class attack submarines with a displacement of about 8 thousand tons, armed with Tomahawks. The program for their construction has not yet been completed; in total, it is planned to deploy about 30 ships. However, work has already begun on the creation of a promising next-generation strike nuclear submarine, which received the designation SSN (X).

We expect it to be a larger sub, probably in the Columbia size class, but we can say nothing more.

- noted on November 2 at the BWX Technologies company, which produces nuclear reactors.

As USNI News explains, when specifying the dimensions of the nuclear submarine, it is not the displacement that is meant, but the diameter of the ship: a promising carrier of a nuclear weapons "Columbia" belongs to a completely different class of submarines and will have a displacement of about 20 thousand tons and have a hull with a diameter of 12,8 meters (the "Virginia" - 11 meters).

A wider submarine hull can improve some of the product's characteristics, such as stealth (by accommodating more sound-absorbing materials) and travel speed (also due to the additional space).

Virginia class attack submarine

"Masters of the Ocean"

This is confirmed by individual statements made by the highest ranks of the Navy.

The Navy says the next generation attack submarine should be faster, more secretive and capable of carrying more torpedoes than the Virginia class.

- noted the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Mike Gilday, calling for the creation of a "toothy" nuclear submarine of a new type.

In his words, the United States should dominate the world's oceans.

The advantage we have in the underwater world is an advantage that we need to not only maintain, but also expand. I want to own the underwater world forever

- declared Guilday.

The project has the designation SSN (X) until it gets a class name [...] This will be the continuation of the fast submarine Virginia, and it [the new submarine] will appear sometime in the late 2030s

- explained in BWX Technologies.

the right desire.
It would be surprising if he said: "I'm tired of being the ruler of the sea, if I go to someone's service."

Of course, the Anglo-Saxons have over the edge of snobbery, but who said that world history is an empty phrase.

Eeeee ... What does history have to do with it? Who owned the sea forever?

So after all I am about the same.
The admiral apparently did not study world history, and therefore dreams of pipe dreams.

It is possible to carve the sea, of course, but to own it? .. Especially, forever?)) ...

[Pessimist22]

The arms race, the moon has gathered more, trade wars with China, and you can overstrain.

[Borik]

Recognized that the Russians are preparing a project "Husky" decided to answer their own and call for the creation of a "toothy" nuclear submarine of a new type, which was given the SSN (X) designation. Well, our smart heads have pushed mattress makers into new multi-billion dollar spending.

[Alex777]

And the most interesting thing is that the future boat will be big.
What will our apologists for small attack nuclear submarines say?

It's Easy!
All you need to do is turn off the "printing press"
And the puffing of cheeks will end: you will have to live within your means, and not on interest, like a rentier.

The trouble is that all funding comes from all over the world, due to the dominance of the dollar.

Yes, Russia, alas, is not the USSR, we will not win such a technological race. ..

Thrifty...Yes, Russia, alas, is not the USSR, we will not win such a technological race. ..

Now they have to be against two - Russia and China. But only they have a printing press. Therefore, they are promoting the race again, especially the psychological one.

Russia, alas, not the USSR

But the ethics have not changed, judging by "she drowned". After all, the Soviet authorities renounced their K-129 boat, which sank in 1968.
The fact of the loss was strictly classified and the disappeared submarine was eliminated from the Soviet Navy. The relatives received official documents, which indicated that the sailor did not die while on duty, but simply died.
The Soviet Union at that time officially abandoned its ship. It was considered ownerless. According to legal norms, whoever finds it first could consider him his.
Possessing advanced technologies, the Americans, after a thorough search, found the lost submarine at a depth of over 5 km and partially raised it.
The bodies of the victims were raised from the bottom along with the fragments of the ship. Then they were buried in accordance with all the rules of the Soviet Navy. The footage of the ceremony was transferred from America to Russia in 1994.

Don't underestimate these sailors.

Meanwhile, infa comes in that Biden is ahead of Trump.

[Sailor]

By this time, we, too, have a fleet of Aligarhs that will be larger in total displacement than the weight of the US Navy!

[Undecim]

In the United States, work has already begun on a new strike submarine.
The headline is panicky and not true.
They did not start, they only ask for money to start. The Navy has requested a million dollars for the next fiscal year and a million for each subsequent fiscal year until 2025 to begin developing SSN (X) requirements, as well as to explore related technologies and operational concepts.
An interesting point - an attempt to insert a link in Varzone is blocked as illegal language.

[shpon123]

The important thing is that sooner or later this submarine will appear in the United States, but I'm not sure about us.

[Egor53]

They start a civil war.
Pede..rasty with transva..stitami fought, for the presidency 2 senile elderly people are fighting. Black-pops with whites and Latinos fight.
And they talk about dominion in the underwater world.
Well, just like kids in heluvin.

[Kushka]

Their intestines are thin, but this is not 300 years ago.
They never had either Pugachev or
Stenki Razin, not even some Makhno.
Is that King, so there are only rallies.
This is not your mother Russia - Kolchak, Wrangel,
Krasnov - there will be a long list.
So wet your preziks from around the corner, yes.
This is their national sport.

Well, Poseidon showed up. And I already began to think by a sinful deed that Greek mythology had invented something. Yes, these (Americans) will not die of modesty.

[rocket757]

Boats still have to return somewhere! And not just somewhere there, but where they can be properly serviced, repaired and so on.
So we return to the question, but where? If the conflict has already occurred and there will be no way back!

[lopuhan2006]

While they manage to own. And there are no prerequisites for the opposite in the foreseeable future. If we add the submarines of Japan and Great Britain, then for us and China for the next 15-25 years the picture is sad.

Add submarines of France, Italy, Australia .. In general, NATO and a number of other countries.
About "we with China" is naive and funny, of course. It's like the despair of being alone.

I wonder how much money the program for creating a new SSN (X) will pull, again for a trillion of greens?

[Sergey39]

Let them first ensure dominance in their country.

[Bersaglieri]

Columbia is an analogue of Borea. This is not a "strike submarine" :)

[Eugene-Eugene]

And we are not talking about ICBM carriers. SSN (X) is the continuation of the Virginia line, the so-called. "anti-submarine" nuclear submarines.

No, this abbreviation (SSN) stands for "multipurpose" submarine, not anti-submarine (the Yankees do not have such a classification). Index (X) indicates the PLA number.

[Bersaglieri]

And SSN (X) is a study for a period of 2040 + ... "The principle of Nassreddin, his donkey and padishah" - works everywhere on our little ball :)

[ZEMCH]

will appear sometime in the late 2030s
