This is actually wrong. The Seawolf was too expensive and subsequently replaced by the Virginia class which is a modern submarine with an integrated digital combat suite. A lot of the Seawolf is actually old technology. And with only 3 of them it is expensive to upgrade.

How many Virginia Class subs do we have? Do we have enough? Regardless, what I said about wasted hundreds of billions on Ukraine, obsolete aircraft carriers and the idiots in DC rings just as true.

Exactly so— the Jimmah Cahtah is a spec ops surveillance platform now.

Virginia class is still being built to 40 in number iirc.

And are really mean top of the line beasts— silent death.
