Article Abstract:
The Navy has established a new baseline for the design and development of the Virginia-class submarine, which has been an innovative platform for both its war fighting capabilities and for its unique and effective design, development, construction and testing processes. Virginia (SSN 774), which is the namesake of a new class of submarines optimized for both deep water and littoral and a major achievement for submarine construction, will be delivered on time to the Navy in June 2004.
