Second Sub in 2011 Ordered By U.S. Navy - Defense News
It's been said that the key weapon system in our military will be the fast attack sub in the 21st century. This is a weapon system we need more of.
We need a balance in our Navy - LHD's, CVN's, DDG's, cruisers, SSN's, SSBN's, and SSGN's.
But our fast attack submarine force should be as large as the DDG force, now at about 60 copies.
We need to be as hidden under the sea as we need to be visible on the surface with the DDG's playing 'gunboat' diplomacy.
