Looks like the even the Virginia Class has been deemed too cost ineffective for a 30 boat order. Rumor has it that the USN is seeking a even smaller, cheaper design. One that breaks away from existing sub designs and may utilize shaftless drives, all externally mounted weapons, and new ship infrastructure.
