	Seawolf class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second nuclear-powered submarine, USS Seawolf (SSN-575), which served from the early 1950s through 1987, was unique, and so can be considered the lead boat of the "Seawolf (SSN-575) class".
		The Seawolf-class attack submarines (SSN) was the intended successor to the Los Angeles class, ordered at the end of the Cold War in 1989.
		USS Jimmy Carter is roughly 100 feet (30 m) longer than the other two ships of her class due to the insertion of a section known as the Multi-Mission Platform (MMP), which allows launch and recovery of ROVs and Navy SEAL forces.

	U.S. Submarine Classes
		Originally commissioned as ballistic missile submarines, the two remaining members of this class of submarine have been converted to special operations attack submarines, with a capacity for carrying and delivering special operations forces added.
		Rapidly being phased out in favor of the LOS ANGELES and SEAWOLF Classes of attack submarines, this venerable and flexible workhorse of the submarine attack fleet brought the Cold War home to the enemies of freedom for over 25 years and continues to operate in the forward areas of the world to this day.
		Originally intended as a class of 29 submarines to be built during a ten-year period, the end of the Cold War and budget constraints have led to a revision in submarine planning.

	Ohio class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ohio class are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy, and are second only to the Russian Typhoon class in mass and size.
		The first eight Ohio class submarines were originally equipped with 24 Trident I C-4 ballistic missiles.
		Beginning with the ninth Trident submarine, USS Tennessee, the remaining ships were equipped with the upgraded Trident II D-5 variant as they were constructed.

	Naval Technology - SSN Seawolf Class - Attack Submarine
		The first of class, the Seawolf (SSN21), was ordered from the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics, Connecticut, in January 1989 and commissioned in July 1997.
		With the end of the Cold War and the change of emphasis to littoral operations, the cost of the Seawolf submarines was judged prohibitive and the programme was curtailed in favour of the smaller and cheaper Virginia Class New Attack submarines.
		The submarine's sonar suite is the BQQ 5D with bow-mounted active/passive arrays and wide aperture passive flank arrays.

		Seawolf-class submarines - the first new top-to-bottom attack submarine design since the early 1960s - are the fastest, quietest, most heavily armed undersea vessels in the world.
		Seawolf submarines provide the U.S. Navy with undersea weapons platforms that can operate in any scenario against any threat, with mission and growth capabilities that far exceed Los Angeles-class submarines.
		The robust design of the Seawolf class enables these submarines to perform a wide spectrum of crucial military assignments - from underneath the Arctic icepack to littoral regions anywhere in the world.

	SSN-774 Virginia-class NSSN New Attack Submarine
		The New Attack Submarine is the first U.S. submarine to be designed for battlespace dominance across a broad spectrum of regional and littoral missions as well as open-ocean, "blue water" missions.
		Compared with the Seawolf, the NSSN is slower, carries fewer weapons, and is less capable in diving depth and arctic operations.
		The New Attack Submarine is engineered for maximum design flexibility, responsiveness to changing missions and threats, and affordable insertion of new technologies to ensure that it will continue to be the right submarine well into the 21st Century.

		It is a class of submarine which is designed to counter a very sophisticated Soviet submarine and naval threat which none of our potential adversaries in the developing world possess.
		Known as the Seawolf, the submarine was already projected to be the most expensive ever built, with a total program cost for 12 submarines estimated at $33.6 billion in current dollars.
		Because Seawolf submarines would be faster, dive deeper and run quieter than any existing submarine, the Navy has also touted them for missions ranging from minelaying and delivery of special forces troops to the underwater launch of cruise missiles.

		The final dilemma facing SEAWOLF is that while the FSST is the centerpiece of the ship's Live Fire Test and Evaluation Strategy and its shock and survivability qualification, the Navy currently has not made the programmatic or financial commitment to make it happen, at the peril of the ship and its crew.
		The SEAWOLF submarine class is scheduled to be operationally evaluated in calendar year 2000, and since SEAWOLF is a major defense acquisitions program, DOTandE will assess OT and LFT adequacy, evaluate operational effectiveness and suitability, and submit final test and evaluation reports to Congress as required by Sections 2366 and 2399, title 10, U.S. Code.
		Finally, the SEAWOLF needs to be operationally evaluated to better understand her capabilities before she initially deploys as a front-line fleet asset, for reasons cited in the classified version of this report.
