تحميل "This Undersea Predator is Silent, Aware...and Strikes Without Warning!"

With the collapse of USSR and the change of emphasis to littoral operations, the cost of the Seawolf submarines which was to replace Los Angeles class was judged prohibitive. The Virginia class submarines were developed immediately after the Seawolf class. Today, as the "new cold war" unfolds, the Virginia-class nuclear submarine is an appropriate response to Russia's growing naval power. These fourth-generation submarines are the American Navy's most recent undersea warfare platform, featuring cutting-edge stealth intelligence gathering and weapons systems technology. The Virginia-class submarine is the first US Navy warship with its development coordinated using such 3D visualization technology as CATIA, which comprises computer-aided engineering (CAE), design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management (PLM). To reduce costs, the Virginia-class submarines use many "commercial off-the-shelf" (COTS) components, especially in their computers and data networks. USN currently has 21 Virginia class submarines. The Virginia Class submarine is heavily armed with Vertical Launching Systems (VLS) and torpedo tubes capable of launching Mark 48 torpedoes, UGM-109 Tactical Tomahawks and Harpoon missiles. A total of 38 submarines of this class are planned for construction. Virginia class submarines are expected to remain in service until at least 2060 with later versions expected to remain into the 2070s.
