Virginia class, okay. Whatever, build several dozens of them. China's intentions have been discerned for a couple of decades. History will not look kindly on a US that abandons the far east to the Chicoms.

*LOL* My husband was a sonar tech on a Los Angeles class submarine, and we agree with you that the submarine fleet needs a major boost. It's especially important now that the LA class boats are getting old and are being decommissed at a rate of a handful a year now. Whether or not our current leadership agrees with us remains to be seen...
