LOL. Somebody had to carry that torch.
Patron Saints of Congressional appropriations? Let's see, there was the William H Bates, the Glennard P. Lipbscomb, The L. Mendel Rivers and the Richard B Russell who was so great a Saint that they also named a Congressional Office Building after him.
There is a lesson in that. Most of our manufacturing is offshored to China.
those are 688’s
Yup. Flight I’s. SSN-701 & 711.
Not only that the reactors pump out significantly more power than the Nimitz class, for the new emals launch system and for supposed future electromagnetic weapons.
Yes, the reactors are running. It's for training engineering personnel on a real naval reactor plant before they hit the fleet. I don't know what power the MTS's are capable of producing, but I doubt they are restricted to low power. The land based naval reactor training units use a water brake to be able to go to 100% power.
Reactor power follows steam demand, so I'd imagine the La Jolla and San Fran are limited to whatever the screw shaft is now connected to and how much torque it can handle.
And a full day later, this typo at MSN has yet to be corrected.
Yes, Akula is not a Typhoon. Typhoon is an SSBN.
