The 1 Reason the U.S. Navy Needs Way More Virginia-class Submarines
Story by Brandon J. Weichert • 5h
What You Need to Know: The U.S. Navy's Virginia-class submarines are among its most advanced, but their numbers are insufficient to meet current and future demands, particularly in potential conflicts with near-peer adversaries like China.
-America's naval shipyards are overwhelmed, unable to keep pace with production needs, and face significant delays. China, meanwhile, is rapidly expanding and modernizing its submarine fleet, potentially outpacing the U.S. in both quantity and technological advancement.
-The AUKUS agreement, aimed at bolstering allied submarine capabilities, has yet to alleviate these challenges due to similar shipyard issues in the UK and Australia. Without substantial improvements, the U.S. risks a strategic disadvantage in submarine warfare.
