But I bet it has some serious bite. How about doing sea trials and ordinance trials in the Persian Gulf. OOOOOOPPPPS that nuke tipped missile went off course and slammed into Irans new toy nuclear reactor. the French can rebuild it.

This is not a large sub. 377 feet is pretty good size. It's about 20 feet longer than the Los Angeles class and the first two Seawolfs. And about 80 feet shorter than the Carter.

Living like that must be soooooooooo claustrophobic.

It is for an SSN. It's bigger than the L.A. class it's intended to replace.

It's about 77 feet longer that the 300 foot pig I used to work on. Of course, this doesn't mean that there is any more livable space on board--that extra length is probably used by the VLS and lockout chamber. Those silly engineers don't make extra space for people.
