Hope the boatworks are making new attack subs

There's good news there. The Virginia class is under construction. The Virginia was christined in August of last year and will be commissioned in July of this year. The 2nd boat, the Texas, is slated for 2005 and the 3rd, the Hawaii, for 2006.

At that point we will be producing two of them per year. We plan to build thirty of them and they will replace the older LA class boats as they are decomissioned until we are left with the Seawolfs and the Virginias.

Here's a pic ot the Virginia prior to christening:
