Navy Starts Work on "Breakthrough" New Attack Submarine for 2030s
 
By Kris Osborn - Warrior Maven

The Navy has begun work on a new generation of attack submarines with never-before-seen weapons, quieting technology, undersea attack drones, sonar and communications networking… to emerge at some point over the next 10 years or more.

Will it be the stealthiest, most lethal attack submarine ever to exist? That ….is the Navy plan.

Plans for the new boats, referred to as a new fleet of Block VI Virginia Class-Attack Attack-class submarines, include launching long-range precision strikes, delivering Special Operations Forces on secret high-risk attack missions, conducting ISR missions, networking with platforms and -- perhaps of greatest significance - operating undetected in high-threat waters.

Whew!!  I'm glad to see the military is still planning ahead.  When AOC warned the earth would burn up in 12 years, I thought why spend money on something that was going to burn up before it could be used.  But now, after weeks of facebook and twitter abuse over that comment, she informs us "she was  only joking."  So we will need the weapons after all.
