Key Takeaways On Submarine Procurement & Construction

[william]

Overall Undersea Budget and Goals:

* The FY27 to FY31 plan invests $124.9B across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) for boat construction.

* The Navy set a goal to reach a production rate of at least one Columbia-class boat and two Virginia-class boats per year by FY31.

* To support these goals, the plan invests $2.4B in FY27 and $6.2B across the FYDP to expand and strengthen the boat industrial base.

* The newly established PAE Undersea portfolio directs all activities to deliver nuclear-powered attack, ballistic missile, and guided missile boats.

* An artificial intelligence tool named ShipOS has been deployed to target Virginia and Columbia-class production, which has reduced boat schedule
planning from 160 manual hours to under 10 minutes.

Until the left gains power in the US again. They will gut this program to build windmills! IMO
