Virginia-class submarine Massachusetts (SSN 798) was recently launched into the James River at Newport News Shipbuilding.

Shipbuilders transferred the submarine from a construction facility to the floating dry dock, where it was later submerged and moved by tugboats to a submarine pier at the shipyard for final outfitting, testing and crew certification.

Massachusetts is the U.S. Navy’s 25th Virginia-class submarine and will be the 12th delivered by NNS.

I was on a few ships so I’ll just take the nickel tour. Not gonna be none of that submerging sh!t with me onboard. I think I would freak out hearing the hull pop and bend as the pressure changes. Special kind of crazy for that. Thats why you get your ‘dolphins’.

Is the duct in the rear to help stop wave propagation from cavitation et al?

Dunno. I figr that they put it there cuz the "big gay spoiler like you see on all the other zipper heads cars" didnt get as many chicks.

In high school, we had a field trip to a sub base. The navy man who conducted the tour told us not to take pictures of one submarine, so of course those of us who could get away with it did.
