Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 bubbleheads might like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia-class_submarine USS District of Columbia my summary. 12 boats to replace 18. each will have 18 launch tubes instead of 24 40 year life with no refueling 1foot wider, or was it longer? )))) first one in 2030 2 Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 And a bazillion dollars each…. Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I bet they miss both cost and completion dates. 10 years to build seems excessive. Perhaps the others will take less time? Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 I’d bet that in ten years they ask for six more to keep the count at 18. Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Maybe, but more probable is they’ll decide the cost is too high and reduce the number built as was done with the Zumwalt destroyer and B-2 programs, which made the unit cost umpteen bazillion each. Quote
