	Deep Sea Designs Los Angeles Class Submarine Blueprints
		The Los Angeles class, with 62 vessels, is the world’s largest series of nuclear-propelled submarines.
		Like its predecessor the Sturgeon class, the quieter and faster Los Angeles class was designed primarily to protect carrier battlegroups by targeting enemy subs.
		Los Angeles-class subs are also capable of a variety of other missions, such as deploying Special Forces (cross-military divisions formed to accomplish especially difficult tasks) and attacking land targets.

	Submarine: Officer: Careers & Jobs: Navy
		Submarine Officers command, manage, and operate the Fleet’s attack, ballistic missile, and guided missile submarines that patrol the world’s oceans, monitoring hostile enemy actions, intercepting electronic communications, and gathering information.
		Submarines, their Officers, and their crews are heavily relied upon for antisubmarine warfare, antisurface warfare, land attack, strategic deterrence, and landing Special Warfare forces, to name but a few of the many exciting missions.
		During a sea tour, Submarine Officers may be in charge of any number of tasks, including the safe operation of the nuclear reactor; maintaining the ship’s torpedoes, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and sonar; charting the ship’s position; and operating communications and intelligence equipment.

	USSLosAngelesSSN688
		The USS LOS ANGELES (SSN-688) is the U.S. Navy's 109th nuclear-powered submarine and the 67th of the attack submarine fleet. She is the fourth naval ship to bear the name, Los Angeles, and is the lead ship of the largest class of high speed nuclear powered attack submarines in the U.S. Navy's arsenal today.
		LOS ANGELES operated with distinction, conducting five Western Pacific, one Indian Ocean, and four Northern Pacific deployments before conducting her first overhaul. These operations, vital to national security, earned her three additional Meritorious Unit Citations. Additionally, she was awarded her squadron's annual Battle Efficiency "E" for excellence in combat readiness four times.
		During the overhaul, LOS ANGELES was outfitted with the state-of-the-art BQQ-5E Sonar System/CCS MK-II Fire Control System,as well as the Navy's newest reactor core and advanced reactor control equipment. A special rubber hull treatment was added as a noise-reducing agent effectively making the submarine one of the quietest submarines in the U.S. Fleet today.

	SSN-688 Los Angeles-class - Navy Ships
		SSN 688 class submarines, which will comprise 68% of the attack submarine force in 2015, must be modernized to ensure that they remain effective when operating against increasingly sophisticated undersea adversaries.
		The 18 SSN-688 class submarines that will be refueled at their mid-life could make good candidates for a service life extension because they could operate for nearly 30 years after the refueling.
		The JCS Submarine Force Structure Study, completed in November 1999, concluded that the optimal force structure would be 68 attack submarines by 2015 and 76 by 2025, with the minimum being at least 55 by 2015 and 62 by 2025.

		The submarine structure itself is a single-hull design in which the pressure hull also forms the outer skin of the hull.
		The Los Angeles class is powered by an S6G reactor derived from the D2G powerplant of the CGN-25 class cruisers.
		The tactical objective behind the 688 design was to develop a class of nuclear-powered attack submarines that could sweep ahead of high-value formations, sterilizing the area of Charlies.

		The Los Angeles class submarine, the USS Hartford, hit the rocky sea-bed of the Mediterranean with such force that rudders, sonar and other electronic equipment were severely damaged, the US naval official said.
		In spite of what appears to be a lucky near miss, the incident’s gravity was underscored by the fact the both the USS Hartford’s captain, Commander Christopher Van Metre, and his squadron commander, Captain Greg Parker—who was also on board at the time the sub ran aground—were immediately fired, said the US navy official.
		When the USS Oklahoma, another US submarine, hit a Norwegian Merchant ship east of the Straits of Gibraltar last year, that subs captain was only fired two weeks after the incident, the US navy source said.
