You'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but my memory is pretty bad. More like a trainwreck.
Anyway, did I read a thing about most LA class subs having to be decommisioned soon because of the age of the reactors or was that just my imagination?
I remember reading a paper on one of the military sites about the whole debate going on within the military about whether or not to build the Seawolf class. Did they ever sort that out? I know they have one at least. They cost something like a billion a piece, correct?
I think it's a good idea to build a new fleet if the old one has to be replaced. It creates alot of new jobs and stimulates the economy, which is always a good thing. Then again, not much point in submarines these days or anything really, since any war would just be a nuclear war. So I could certainly understand the other side of the argument. Pretty hard to justify that cost for a mobile, submerisble nuke platform essentially.
Anyway I'd love to know that turned out and how many Seawolves are being built (have been built) so far.
Thanks!
