During my husband’s time in the submarine service (2000-2004) the USS Minneapolis-St. Paul was lovingly referred to as the ‘USS Menopause’. Here’s hoping we get enough new boats to replace the LA class boats that we’re losing.

Oh yeah. We've christened four new VIRGINIA Class subs in last 3 years (SSNs 774-777), which is a lot faster than we are decomming 688s.
