This US Nuclear Submarine Will Change EVERYTHING - Here is Why!

This US Nuclear Submarine Will Change EVERYTHING - Here is Why!
Deep beneath the ocean’s surface, an invisible specter glides silently, leaving no trace. This is the Virginia-class submarine, a marvel of military technology with the power to change the course of war in an instant. Can you imagine a weapon capable of attacking an entire fleet without anyone ever knowing?
With the ability to operate for months without surfacing, this submarine is not just a mobile fortress but a hidden ace beneath the waves.
Amid tensions in the South China Sea and the looming threat of conflict over Taiwan, could the Virginia-class submarine be America’s strategic weapon in a showdown with superpowers like China and Russia? Join Navy Power in uncovering the secrets behind its formidable strength. From the very beginning, the Virginia-class submarine was designed with a clear goal: cost efficiency without compromising cutting-edge advancements. Only two shipyards in the United States, General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries, possess the expertise to construct nuclear-powered submarines.

My brother was recruited right out of high school. Although I can't say much, but I know the Virginia class does outclass any other submarine in the world. Very few can never come close to it. 💯🇺🇸⚓💙 Myself I got my CQ, I already had 700 hours on a mh6. My brother's math excelled so well he got to go through the nuclear program full control over all the nuclear assets. Very proud of My brother. Long time being underwater💯🇺🇸⚓💙

No one comes close to the selfless service of those working in the US navy. Especially those working on subs.

[scotthazelton]

Hopefully we never need them but I sleep better knowing we have them

I was an electronics calibration tech that worked on subs and tin cans. I served aboard tenders Bryce Canyon, Sperry and Frank Cable. Also worked on Sub sonars my last 2 years. The Virgina class looks like a combo Boomer/fast attack multi-purpose sub. Brilliant design. No one comes close to the US on subs and carriers and we know how to use them as a coodinated force. That's the real kicker. On top of that, Americans just love "Blowin Things Up..."

What a submarine. This Nuclear submarine can an entire fleet.

Fantastic submarine intelligence design is super weapon ❤❤❤

President Reagan's deeam of a star war based defense system will become a reality in the next 10 year's. Bravo America!

[DrawingRandomly]

Thanks to these subs we will never have a nuclear war because enemies know these exist underneath

Great 👍 Idea we need to spend more money 💰 improving the submarines

[nenblom]

Virginia class submarines seem to be second to none. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️

[garydarby]

We only have 24 with 23 more on the books.

You forgot to mention the mobilization of SOSIS stations, which now patrol thousands of miles autonomously; this frees the manned boats for the most critical missions. ASW is improving so fast !

The shipbuilding industry is in its death throes. An executive order sounds nice and all, but a signature and a wave of a pen is a pipe dream. The rudimentary problem of a failing workforce is THE problem, foreseen by many of us forward thinkers at least a decade ago, if not longer. A good macro vision is important and necessary, but a much deeper look must be taken as to who puts these craft together, and how these assets (shipbuilders) are managed. “More contracts” is not a fix for this situation. Far from it.

I was an Outside Machinist building Virginia class nuclear subs most recently, and have built and repaired many surface and submarine craft in different yards during my 35 year career. Many sailors have less shipboard time than I do. I know of what I speak.

The work has to be done, and only a few of us left are willing to do it. Excessive pulling, dragging, lifting, and climbing are necessary just to put machining components in place, activities the younger generation cannot do, will not do, and will never grasp. The talent clock can’t be moved back. Precision measuring and reading a simple machinist’s scale are completely mystifying. Reading a technical drawing is tantamount to working in quantum physics. How does the work get done? It doesn’t. And it’s getting worse with every new hire.

I am no MBA graduate, but perhaps half of the dead weight can be let go, and the remaining solid work force could get the remainder for incentivizing. Has no one thought to give the hourly force a share or two of five year vested company stock to get invested into the work they are doing directly? This all starts at the hiring process, attrition being taken into account. Start them low, weed out the chaff, and reward talent. Well, no kidding. It used to be that way. No longer.

In addition, one can’t “quality assurance” good work into the product. Level headed people know this. Heck, nuclear welding inspectors do their inspections on thousands of sub-safe welds from their desk.

It’s not about me folks. I am showing an example of our dying workforce. 62 year olds cannot keep up that kind of work. I am permanently disabled by working to failure for decades doing this important and necessary work; and the new work force will not do that kind of work. The unions? They are hip deep in league with management so change does not occur.

What the news and the powers-that-be don't tell you is that the American work force is young, lazy and stupid. I'm one of the last generation that cares if 120 sailors come back up after a dive. When I apprenticed as a machinist, the requirements to be a Journeyman required study and hard work. I was first in my class, graduating early. As with many educational institutions these days, these requirements have been lowered to accommodate people’s lack of ability. How can good ships possibly be built in this fashion?

I fear for our military battle force in that soon there will very few people capable of repairing or putting these modern first-in-class ships together, even for the USA, let alone another country. The old can-do American attitude died a generation or two ago. Showing “we sent a man to the moon” video clips are a sorry excuse for today’s supposed American greatness. Sorry Australia. Buying subs from us is a pipe dream. If you want something done right, do it yourself.

The shipyard’s schedule has slid so far to the left we are at least a year, more likely two, behind in building just these submarines. Two boats per year is stretching it. But three? Impossible. I highly suspect that the schedule and monetary figures are skewed to show a positive result. D.O.G.E. would have a field day looking into the fraud, waste and abuse in these yards. Remember the Seawolf fiasco with NNSB as the lead yard? Even throwing NNSB bones for the Virginia and the new Colombia Class is laughable. I wouldn’t by a mousetrap from them.

If robots or automated building procedures aren't created and utilized soon to take up the slack of our aging specialist shipbuilders, it is a doomed proposition if left in the hands of these inept upper and lower managers, workers and designers. They need their GPS phones just to get to work. I have seen this first hand. I am not exaggerating. These people in charge and building these ships are dolts and idiots.

Who came up with putting all shipbuilding plants under the government umbrella? Are you kidding? Even now firing these clowns is impossible. Make them government workers?! The new construction yards are already run by the Navy. Build commercial craft? It would take NNSB a week just to figure out how to get aboard a commercial vessel.

I close my eyes in fear every time a boat (sub) goes on sea trials, and am frankly amazed there hasn't been another Thresher or Scorpion incident. God bless those brave men. I pray God blesses our war fighters daily.

Again, look deeper. What good are contracts if we can’t do the job? We are in serious trouble here. Shame on the top leaders of shipbuilding and the Press.

This “fix” of Trump’s will take many years after President Trump has left office, if at all, to show any improvement, so my unfortunate and realistic expectations of improvement are next to nothing. Or less.

[smalltown.life.inthe.Rockies]

Doing more to increase the Naval submarine class isn't an issue of can or can't. We clearly can build a larger, more powerful, and higher tech sub. But it's an issue of maintaining that fleet. Russia learned this lesson the hard way during the Cold War with their first Akula class Project 971 named Shchuka-B, given the designation Akula by the West after the name of the lead ship, K-284. Russia simply couldn't afford the maintenance and advancements required by the ever changing environment of Naval warfare.

A message don't mess with the USA navy.

Thats wonderful, good defencive mechanism.
