Don't even need a new parts. Just pull em off the old boats at Puget Sound. That's my old boat USS Omaha (SSN-693) next to the hull of the Long Beach. Same class as San Francisco.

I didn't realize we had 688s in mothballs already. Might it not be a better idea to take the intact boat and bring her back in to service?
Or better yet, just delay the retirement of another boat that would have been replaced by a 774?

You know what? Now that I look at it... the Long Beach is prettier like this. That was one ugly silhouette.
