Here's What You Need to Remember: The next generation of new attack submarines is several years away, but it can be expected to incorporate a host of new technologies.
The U.S. Navy’s next-generation attack submarines will be larger than the existing fleet of Virginia-class attack submarines, a plan that could enable greater weapons payloads, longer service life and a host of not-yet-seen quieting technologies.
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 in the 2030s.
