USS Virginia-Class Submarine

America's most advanced nuclear attack submarine/Ships & Boats

The Virginia class is the U.S. Navy's newest class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarine. Designed to operate in both deep ocean and shallow coastal waters, these boats carry Tomahawk cruise missiles and can deploy Navy SEALs. Each submarine costs about $3.4 billion and is built to be quieter than the ocean itself. The crew of 132 lives underwater for months at a time, which is either impressive or a very expensive way to avoid sunlight.
