Also as a individual that recently worked with govt contractors that install certain systems into boats, don't expect the first patrol of these tridents to be on the schedule you provided. These new boats will have some of the latest and craziest tech onboard. They will be ultra quiet, deadly and with capabilities that required a lot of out of the box thinking. Keep up the good work.

For good reason. There's a lot of technology and innovations being built into these subs that is still highly classified with systems that have yet to be announced or known even by some of the highest branches in the military. Keeping this stuff unknown to them helps protect the power and capabilities these subs will harness. If our enemies don't know what we can do, that is exponential advantage. I doubt very little will be divulged in most of our lifetimes about these subs.

They would have UK ship builders go to OZ to train the Australians in nuclear submarine construction. The US contribution would be using American systems American sourced nuclear fuel, and American weapons. I have heard that the Australians will go with the British Astute class,because it needs a smaller crew to run it. That means a smaller overall submarine staffing that needs to be spread out over the expected 12 boats.

Electric Boat is said to be looking for 3500 people to hire at their yard on top of who they employee now so they are dealing with the bottle neck they have.

There are rumors that Australia is in talks with US defense about Australia investing in expansion of US nuclear submarine manufacturing, with two Virginias built in US shipyards for Australia while a third nuclear submarine shipyard is built in Australia with a further eight Virginia's to be built for Australia there, and long term benefits for US submarine building. However there are similar talks in the UK for a similar project building Astute's for Australia. There has been an Australian government confirmation that a decision will be announced in March 2023. Rumors had pegged the Virginia project as the front runner, but the British government has been pushing hard. Also there has been confirmation that Australian submariners are already in traing in the UK, and on the 31st of August Boris Johnson announced that Australian sailors will be serving on the new HMS Anson as Australia develops its nuclear submarine capabilities. The first Australian nuclear boat is expected to be in the water by the early 2030's, which is only possible by going with an existing design. As the cost of American submarine builds increase, investment by a close ally may be valuable for America's own submarine building program, including for the Columbia-class, and the expansion of the total Virginia fleet due to extra subs in the Australian navy can only be helpful as we face mutual dangers from China and Russia in decades to come.

Why you in the skreen?

Ok I'm Army not Navy but this is bugging me...every time I hear "ship" when ITS A BOAT!!! I know I know it;s a personal thing...it just irritates me...

I love secrets. I can say any damn crap I want. And no one can prove me wrong.

14 billion and change per sub you say. More likely 25 to 30. We all know how this goes. Funny that the cost of just one of these subs could pay for a wall on our southern border. I love our military. But I loathe the military leadership, the contractors, the DOD and Pentagon. Not one of them will be in the chow line on taco night at a depth of 600 feet. They are not worthy of cleaning latrines.

Your estimate is way off. The first one is just south of 14 billion because all of the design and new systems testing is allocated to the first unit. The follow on hulls are closer to 9 billion and during the build program increased for inflation that gives you the 113 billion total for the 12 ship class.

The newest Columbia class submarine are superior but we still need the Ohio for backup. Let start building more submarines in case a war breaks out. Especially in china sea. Just remember having submarines have the enemies nervous? The Ohio’s submarine only needs an upgrade of the latest technology. Let’s keep that submarine active.

I did 11 patrols on on a 640 class and two Trident boats. It was a waste of a perfectly good life.

After decades and service we know very little about the Ohio class Which is a few thousand times more than what we know about the Columbia class

Realistically, the general public should know very little about these submarines. Everything about them is interim-Top Secret. Even on Naval bases, only submariners are allowed on that part of the base where submarines are docked. Other sailors attached to surface warfare vessels cannot access that area. It's very strict, indeed.

I did over 15 month of research on the Columbia Class Submarines, up to 18 hours a day 7 days a week and lead me to a shocking discovery, not even sure if I should post it here, but I will.... They can go UNDER water! :O

Come on. You can’t be messing with welds on these boats. These boats are our most important ones!

This engineering feat would be great if we could build them. The problem is the lack of good workers, remember, this is a team effort. Both shipyards have the same problem and that is qualified.people to build a better submarine NAVSea knows this. It’s a proven fact that with every generation of people, especially Americans they get weaker and weaker some of them don’t even know how to change a tire on their car. I know firsthand because I have seen them. The Lipscomb was a great theory on paper but was so slow…seeing is believing.

The only thing more delicious than a savory, new, Columbia class submarine, is my scrumptious brisket; it's sensational ¡☆!

Why do the submariners wear bush camouflage uniforms?

I don't believe we Americans lack the manufacturing capacity to complete all the missile tubes. However, we actually don't need nearly so many missile tubes; though they're a sound part of an oceanic war system. But realistically, how often are we as an American Navy going to sink an enemy warship or detonate a powerful missile on an enemy coast? Perhaps with some frequency depending on contingencies, but not so often we need so many tubes. It's better to fire three defense system evasive smart water missiles at a time rather than fifteen missiles with a trajectory; This would be a detail except that you complain of a manufacturing problem with the the tubes. Four missiles tubes per Columbia Class War Submarine will be quite acceptable. Moreover, we don't need to be constantly firing small missiles with small detonations, a great mass of petty missiles and petty warfare. Driven to warfare, we should sink an enemy battleship with shock and awe: a nuclear harpoon; for more serious warfare, hit the enemy coastline with a water hydrogen nuclear missile. They will soon stop their small bullyings; and understand that we know the science of war and we mean business like the Death Star.

We already have a USS Columbia. SSN 771. What will be the name of the new Boomer. Will it still be called USS Columbia SSBN 826. This may be the first time we have 2 Subs named the same... except one is a boomer being built and one is fast attack still operating.

"Although no decommissioning date has been announced for this Columbia, it has been announced that the lead ship of the Ohio-class replacement ballistic missile submarines, will also be named Columbia (SSBN-826), though that boat will be named for the District of Columbia. The name was officially announced on 25 July 2016 by U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. The vessel is expected to enter service in 2031, at which point this Columbia will be 37 years old. As of 2022, 36 Los Angeles-class boats have been retired, and only three were in service longer than 37 years."

Mix in the helping hand to the Aussies. Theres no way the mfg base can handle these and the Virginia's. This is going to be a big problem.

The Ausies will go with the British Astute class. The main issue faced by the RAn sub service is manpower and the Astute is much more automated than the Virginia and slightly smaller

The whole france thing was to make sure it stays in the news. We are sending super secret subs to australia

That sub was built for one reason to launch nukes

Don't say much about the capability of the sub....LOL....So how to assess if it is value for money or game-changer? Simple metrics like how stealthy, speed or diving depth? Doesn't have to be accurate since they are classified but at least a rough estimation? How does it compared to Russian or Chinese latest sub? Are we just gonna assume the Columbia class is more superior?

They're just replacing the existing platform. Ohios are getting old and outdated, Columbias will replace them and operate deep into the 2070s
