Dwarfing The Sea Wolf Class
When it comes to submarines, it seems that bigger is in fact better. The SSN(X) will need to be far larger and more fiercely armed for it to be deemed a worthy successor to the Virginia and Sea Wolf series. The expanded submarine would be able to fit greater weapons than the older classes, and would have a capacity of 9,100 tons, far more than the predecessors’ 7,800 tons. Something this enormous will need a lot of fuel to keep it going.
