USS-Virginia - American steel fist in the ocean

Special construction materials, with unique aerodynamic design combined with water jet engines, help Virginia submarines operate much more smoothly than competitors. They can stealth before the enemy's sonar detection, silently approaching and destroying the enemy.

Virginia is the most advanced and modern class of submarine attack submarines of the United States at this time, designed to replace the role of "predecessor" - Los Angeles class submarine and even Seawolf class. more advanced but costly and complicated.

Virginia-class submarines are equipped with the latest generation stealth technology and powerful weapons system, making it an extremely scary assassin in the deep waters between the ocean and coastal areas.

Virginia class submarines are equipped with the latest generation stealth technology and powerful weapons system.

Nowadays with the development of maritime science, the power of nuclear submarines is not at the great level or the number of horrible weapons it carries, but is located at extremely quiet operation in the deep sea, to avoid being detect and destroy. Any submarine that operates more smoothly has the ability to act before the opponent.

Unlike airplanes, it is possible to drop bait to avoid missiles, large and medium-sized submarines that move slowly, so it cannot avoid attacks from anti-submarine missiles and torpedoes. So any submarine that gets out first will be stronger. Special construction materials, with unique aerodynamic design combined with water jet engines, help Virginia submarines operate much more smoothly than competitors.

The US Navy plans to build a total of 48 submarines of this type, now 13 have been completed and in operation, 5 others are under construction. The ship's armament consists of 12 vertical launchers with a 16-base land-based cruise missile UGM-109 Tomahawk. Besides, there are 4 533mm torpedo tubes, compatible with 48 Mk heavy torpedoes or Sub Harpoon anti-ship missiles (reserve 26 missiles and torpedoes).

This is also the first class of US Navy submarines designed with the ability to receive or deploy 9 SEAL naval commanders while the ship is still in diving mode.
