Tripling Tomahawk Capacity on Block V Virginia-Class Submarines in Light of Evolving Missile Threats Worldwide
Story by Emma Talyor • now

The Virginia-class submarines, initially introduced to replace the older Los Angeles-class submarines, have been a part of the U.S. Navy's fleet since the first of the class, the USS Virginia (SSN-774), was commissioned in 2004. Constructed at a pace of two to three units annually, with prices around $3.4 billion per sub, the aim has been to construct 66 of these advanced nuclear-powered fast-attack vessels. As of 2023, 22 Virginia-class submarines are active, and more are under construction.
