The Texas prepares to dock at the Naval Ordinance Test Unit at Cape Canaveral, Fla., Friday, Aug. 25, 2006.
The Texas, which will officially earn a 'USS' designator in a commissioning ceremony in two weeks, weighs 7,800 tons, measures 377 feet long and can remain submerged on covert surveillance up to three months.

But I bet it has some serious bite. How about doing sea trials and ordinance trials in the Persian Gulf. OOOOOOPPPPS that nuke tipped missile went off course and slammed into Irans new toy nuclear reactor. the French can rebuild it.

This is not a large sub. 377 feet is pretty good size. It's about 20 feet longer than the Los Angeles class and the first two Seawolfs. And about 80 feet shorter than the Carter.

Anyone know what she will be named?
(is "she" correct for a sub? I know they are called "boats" and not ships.")

Surprising they would admit anything over 300 feet. Used to be 300 feet, which meant if the sub stood on its nose the tail could be sticking out of the water while the nose was below crush depth. They used to admit 35 knots also.

Missing the middle section where the Trident tubes are supposed to be. That's what I am used to. If I walked from the aft to the bow I would be disoriented by arriving too soon.

Speaking as a former black shoe I thought all you bubbleheads were somewhat eccentric to begin with. Why anyone would take a perfectly good ship and deliberately sink it with the crew on board alway beat me.
