(snips)

The change in mission involved many changes to the submarine and requires years of work in the shipyard. The Tomahawk missiles that will replace the Trident are much shorter and require less room, allowing for not only more weapons to be carried but also for enough room to carry four platoons of up to 66 SEALs for extended periods of time or up to 100 SEALs for shorter periods. Two of the missile tubes will be replaced not with Tomahawk VLSs but with diver lock-in/out chambers and mounts for the SEAL DDS (Dry Dock Shelter) and newer ASDS vehicle.

The first two SSGN’s are scheduled to re-enter service in late 2007.

Thank you..

That was a real education.

I expect the pirates are in more trouble than they can imagine.

I expect this kind of equipment is either on site or is rushing there at top speed.
