WASHINGTON, US — The US Navy’s newest US nuclear missile carrier has worried the country’s defense. The Pentagon and Navy have no idea if the $132 billion Columbia submarine will be ready by 2031. This is the first ship of the Columbia class. Washington plans to build 12 submarines of this class. Two are currently on order.
U.S. first Columbia-class nuclear submarine will cost $ 8.5 billion
The Columbia-class submarine is a carrier of nuclear missiles. However, a new GAO report shows that officials overseeing its development and production do not have the necessary information to prove that the project will be completed on time.
Bloomberg wrote that the missing information concerns “graphs and statistical information”. These data should show the confidence and readiness of the builders to complete the project. According to the congressional audit and the GAO report, the subway is one-third complete. Manufacturers General Dynamics Corp. and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. however, declined to comment on the GAO report.
