I came across this tidbit over at the Ohio-class entry on GlobalSecurity.org: That is the only place I've found mention of hulls 22, 23, and 24 being planned as anything other than SSBNs. Does anyone have more information on this, or can point me to any sources with more details? I haven't...

Given that in the wake of Ukraines attack on Russian strategic bombers the topic came up several times in other threads, I figured it may be appropriate to dedicate a specific thread to the topic. The topic being the implications of widespread availability of drones and how they can be utilized...

According to one of the coments in the reddit thread below, it is planned for her to shorty become a museum ship in Arkhangelsk. Anyone have any more details on this? View: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarshipPorn/comments/lz8z84/top_view_of_dmitry_donskoy_5198x2923/

I must admit to being puzzled at the choice of Dreadnought as a name for the new SSBNs. Assuming 4 or 3 submarines are built, the only rationale is to resurrect the names of our early nuclear boats. That would add Valiant and Warspite and possibly Conqueror or Churchill. The alternative would...

BAE gets funds to start building new submarines (ft.com, registration may be required.)

I had always been sceptical of the claims in various books that the RN planned to name its fifth Polaris boat RAMILLIES. It made no sense as all the other names RESOLUTION, RENOWN, REPULSE and REVENGE were related to the role of the boats. In his excellent new book about the RN submarine...

I know this general subject has come up before, but with the growing access to documents in the NAO and elsewhere I thought I would just check this one again. I first saw "Ramillies" listed as the cancelled fifth RN Polaris submarine in Conway's fighting ships when it appeared in the 80s...

British Trident Subs to Field Enhanced U.S.-Made Warheads Monday, April 4, 2011 The United Kingdom's nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines are to receive an enhanced version of a U.S.-manufactured nuclear warhead, the Federation of American Scientists said on Friday (see GSN, Feb. 7)...

During the mid-1950s, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Arleigh Burke sponsored a high-priority program to develop a naval intermediate range ballistic missile. On November 8, 1955, the Secretary of Defense established a joint Army and Navy intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM)...

A recent book releasing British nuclear discussions by Peter Hennessy throws some clear answers to often asked questions: Why did the RN not get the fifth Polaris boat? After much discussion the new Labour Government in 1964 decided that the Polaris fleet was too worthwhile to cancel. Two...

Okay, after about 1946/1947; the USN began to assign SCB numbers sequentially, starting with USS Norfolk (CLK/DL) as SCB-1; the USS Tang (SS) as SCB-2, etc. By 1964, they switched to SCB numbering in blocks; e.g. 001-009 SCB-Cruisers 100 SCB-Carriers 200...

Hi folks, At this year's DSEi Exhibition, BAE Systems had this advanced submarine concept on display - note the fully ducted propulsion (Sorry for the poor image quality - the photos were taken using my phone): Regards, Greg
