I guess they've made a few improvements since I retired from the Submarine Force in 1990.

Back then if you wanted to find a Virginia Class attack submarine, you had to listen for the quiet spot in the ocean where the sub was blocking the background biologic sounds.....they were that quiet!

Hum, I guess they don’t have a coed compliment. Better get Fluke working on this one as it will be targeted at the Brits, I am sure His Excellency would be happy.

I could have sworn the first Virginia SSN went to sea 2003/04.
