US Navy Announces Public Review Period For Nuclear-Powered, Nuclear-Armed Submarine Program
U.S. Navy announces a 30-day public review period for its approximately $60 billion nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed, Columbia-class submarine program.
The submarines will be stationed at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor for about 50 years.
The Columbia-class nuclear-powered ballistic missiles submarines (SSBN) are the planned replacement submarines for the Ohio-class SSBN submarines that first arrived at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in 1982. The twelve proposed Columbia-class submarines are expected to cost $126.4 billion according to the Navy’s FY 2025 budget submission. Half of the twelve new submarines are expected to be deployed at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, approximately 20 miles from Seattle.
