the US Navy is converting four older Trident-class ballistic missile submarines for 21st century duty as guided missile subs (SSGNs) and vessels to support littoral warfare. Capable of delivering multiple independently-targeting SEAL teams to any estuary on earth in 30 minutes.

"The boat was designed and developed by a team composed of Northrop Grumman's Oceanic & Naval Systems business unit, NAVSEA, USSOCOM and Naval Special Warfare Command."
Cluster.
"Several reports, however, indicate that development of the new mini-sub – officially the Advanced SEAL Delivery System (ASDS) – is behind schedule, over budget, and beset with major technical problems."
Cluster fvck.

ASDS operations require about 20 full-charge and discharge cycles; current technology yields about four to five cycles. And they've been accepted by the Navy? Did anyone bother to check the specs on this job? What poor engineering. What a pitiful procurement process.
