Five attack submarines stand out as the best in the world today: Russia's Sierra II Class (Project 945A Kondor) and Yasen-Class (Project 885), the UK's Astute-class, and the U.S.'s Virginia-class and Seawolf-class.
Churning out Block V U.S. Navy Virginia-class submarines is just as important as getting Columbia-class ships out on the water as soon as possible. However, workforce shortages may rule out the timely introduction of both platforms.
As the latest class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines in the Navy, the Virginia-class is top-of-the-line. New variants of this class mean they will continue to improve.
