Could Smaller Submarines Be Just What the Navy Needs?
The U.S. Navy already is beginning to plan for its next class of attack submarine, a high-tech and potentially very expensive new vessel to succeed the
Virginia-class boats that the sailing branch currently is buying.
Here s What You Need to Remember: “Framers of the SSN(X) program should gaze darkly into the future, then, asking themselves whether the ‘sub’ remains the sole bearer of undersea might or they should design the undersea
fleet to accommodate new realities,” Holms wrote. “SSNs that operate in concert with unmanned craft could be quite different from the lone wolves that now prowl the oceans and seas.”
