With the collapse of USSR and the change of emphasis to littoral operations, the cost of the Seawolf submarines which was to replace Los Angeles class was judged prohibitive.

The Virginia class submarines were developed immediately after the Seawolf class.

Today, as the "new cold war" unfolds, the Virginia-class nuclear submarine is an appropriate response to Russia's growing naval power. These fourth-generation submarines are the American Navy's most recent undersea warfare platform, featuring cutting-edge stealth intelligence gathering and weapons systems technology.

The Virginia-class submarine is the first US Navy warship with its development coordinated using such 3D visualization technology as CATIA, which comprises computer-aided engineering (CAE), design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management (PLM).

To reduce costs, the Virginia-class submarines use many "commercial off-the-shelf" (COTS) components, especially in their computers and data networks.
USN currently has 21 Virginia class submarines.

The Virginia Class submarine is heavily armed with Vertical Launching Systems (VLS) and torpedo tubes capable of launching Mark 48 torpedoes, UGM-109 Tactical Tomahawks and Harpoon missiles.

A total of 38 submarines of this class are planned for construction.

Virginia class submarines are expected to remain in service until at least 2060 with later versions expected to remain into the 2070s.

Always been uncomfortable with how MUCH data and info is revealed here; handing potential enemies that which should be classified on a silver platter …

These weapons are so capable that you do not have to worry about what we will use past 2060. We'll all have been killed by then. That doesn't speak well for common sense, humanity, and life does it? Man's history of aggression doesn't give much hope though either.

Why are you showing so much SLBM video when the featured attack sub doesn't have those?

The cool thing about the miniature sub the Navy Seals use is that when you're in the structure you are underwater you are breathing through an apparatus that submarine gets flooded on the inside that's how they drive it

Too much talking for nothing. All these submarines are not efficient in this era of drones. In fact, no country is superior because of having submarines. Cheap and efficient drones are the way to go.
