A Virginia class SSN looking dark and dangerous.
The Virginia class SSN, at up to 8,000 tons, is slightly longer than the Los Angeles and Seawolf SSNs but much smaller than the four SSBNs in the diagram.

I publish on subs, other naval, nuclear weapons & broad political issues. Advised Aus, US, France. Aussie sub changes are slow: talk since 2009 rather than actual new subs. Collins LOTE 2028-2040 see https://www.asa.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2024-10/CollinsClassLOTE-Factsheet.pdf . POTUS 2031 may cancel AUKUS Virginia offer due to USN advice it needs all operational SSNs to 2040s to mainly face China. Gessler, Karthik & Shawn C are excellent contributors.
