The Navy moved its SSN(X) from a 2035 start to the "early 2040s," as it takes risk in modernization programs to pay for current operations and readiness.

    They still have Virginia-class submarines so they’ll live.

    You know who’s reaaaaally pissed about this? The Australians. They fucked the French over by surprise-canceling their order for custom designed diesel submarines, and now the US Navy gets first dibs on the output of the struggling Virginia-class submarine manufacturers so Australia isn’t sure they’ll get anything at all.

      LOL, maybe if we were able to design a sub that actually worked properly we wouldn’t have to go crying to other countries to buy their subs.

      Look up former Australian prime minister Paul Keatings National Press club address on the AUKUS submarine deal. It’s a good watch.
