A Focus on Survival, Stealth, And Fastness
The scientists, engineers, and military experts that have united to bring this groundbreaking naval technology to life have outlined three main traits that the new submarine class must excel in. The first is acceleration: the submarine must be able to move faster than its rivals and predecessors alike. The second is survivability: the SSN(X) will be facing all manner of unprecedented threats, and must be able to make it through deadly situations. And finally, stealth: a submarine’s biggest advantage over other vessels is how much it can get done without being detected. This last quality will be especially boosted.

The Unique Capabilities Of The SSN(X)
Why has the SSN(X) been given such a monumental priority by the U.S. Navy? The main reason is to do with its stealth capacity. While the Virginia class of submarines had incredible stealth and speed, the SSN(X) is predicted to be able to move incredibly fast while in stealth mode. This means that it will be able to complete operations and patrols in record times without being detected. The SSN(X) will be a rapidly moving shadow in the ocean!
