Other Columbia Class items of interest:
as a result of the three previous points the Navy estimates that GD/EB would receive an estimated 77%- 78% of the shipyard work building Columbia class boats, and HII/NNS would receive 22%- 23%; GD/EB is to continue as prime contractor for the Virginia class program, but to help balance out projected- construction workloads at GD/EB and HII/NNS, the division of work between the two yards for building Virginia -class boats is to be adjusted so that HII/NNS would perform the final assembly on a greater number of Virginia- class boats. The new boats will have 16 launch tubes vs 24 for Ohio Class and will be the same size to carry the D5 missile. The boat will be electric drive versus mechanical and will quieter because of this. Length will be the same but width will be 1 foot larger. Edited by Rontini599 - 25 Aug 2016 at 6:33pm |
