129? I could have sworn we had abvout 50 or 60 SSNs, the four Ohio SSGNs, and the fourteen SSBNs. The rest are in line to be scrapped, IIRC.

Nope..we still have a large number of submarines. Decomissioned submaries are held in reserve for a period of time until they are disposed of. Some are scrapped, others placed in reserve.

I was counting fleet reserve numbers too. These numbers change often, and I may be out of date, but I know that it usually stays around 100-129.

There are also more in the building stages right now. The NSSN is currently in production.
