 | 1.09k | Newport News Shipbuilding is teamed with General Dynamics Electric Boat to build Virginia-class submarines. Newport News Shipbuilding builds the stern, habitability & machinery spaces, torpedo room, sail and bow. Electric Boat builds the pressure hull, engine room and control room. Newport News Shipbuilding and Electric Boat each perform work on the reactor plant as well as alternate on the final assembly, test, outfit and delivery. The team has been recognized as the best shipbuilding program in the Navy. Virginia-class Infographic PDF. | Text & photo courtesy of huntingtoningalls.com. | |
 | 77k | Rhode Island senator Jack Reed addresses the large audience gathered to observe the keel laying ceremony for the Navy's first Virginia-class attack submarine, Virginia (SSN-774) at North Kingstown, R.I., 2 September 1999. Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics and Newport News Shipbuilding have combined their efforts in the construction of two new attack submarines, Virginia and Texas (SSN-775) to be delivered to the Navy in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Also participating were Virginia senators John Warner and Charles Robb. | USN photo # N-3917-001, by Journalist 1st Class Joseph W. Gunder III, courtesy of CHINFO Chief of Naval Information. | |

 | 886k | A cut out of the Virginia class submarine characteristics Block III: The Changes. The most obvious change is the switch from 12 vertical launch tubes, to 12 missiles in 2 tubes that use technology from the Ohio Class special forces/ strike SSGN program. The Virginia's hull has a smaller cross-section than the converted ballistic missile SSGNs, so the “6-shooters” will be shorter and a bit wider. Nevertheless, they will share a great deal of common technology, allowing innovations on either platform to be incorporated into the other submarine class during major maintenance milestones. Net savings are about $8 million to program baseline costs. The other big change you can see in the above diagram is switching from an air-backed sonar sphere to a water-backed Large Aperture Bow (LAB) array. Eliminating the hundreds of SUBSAFE penetrations that help maintain required pressure in the air-backed sonar sphere will save approximately $11 million per hull, and begins with the FY 2012 boats (SSNs 787-788). The LAB Array has 2 primary components: the passive array, which will provide improved performance, and a medium-frequency active array. It utilizes transducers from the SSN-21 Seawolf Class that are that are designed to last the life of the hull. This is rather par for the course, as the Virginia-class was created in the 1990s to incorporate key elements of the $4 billion Seawolf Class submarine technologies into a cheaper boat. The SUBSAFE eliminations, plus the life-of-the-hull transducers, will help to reduce the submarines' life cycle costs as well by removing moving parts that require maintenance, eliminating possible points of failure and repair, and removing the need for transducer replacements in drydock. The bow redesign is not limited to these changes, however, and includes 25 associated redesign efforts. These are estimated to reduce construction costs by another $20 million per hull beginning with the FY 2012 submarine. With the $19 million ($11 + 8) from the LAB array and Vertical Payload, and the $20 million from the associated changes, General Dynamics is $39 million toward the $200 million baseline costs goal of “2 for 4 in 12”. While the changes themselves will begin with the FY 2009 ship, the savings are targeted at FY 2012 because of the learning curve required as part of the switch. Recent discussions concerning an earlier shift to 2 submarines per year would result in faster production of the Block III submarines, but would be unlikely to make a huge difference to that learning curve. | Photo & text courtesy of defenseindustrydaily.com. | |
