US reports problems in the development of the newest Columbia submarine
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Development of the United States Navy's newest Columbia-class nuclear submarine will be delayed by more than a year due to supply disruptions. Reuters reported this on April 2 with reference to representatives of the US Navy.

“Development of the nuclear-capable Columbia-class submarine is 12 to 16 months behind schedule, “based on current performance” by contractors General Dynamics & Huntington,” the story says.

According to the source, the delay in development has forced the US Navy to seriously consider extending the service life of Ohio-class nuclear submarines, but the Navy expects to maintain the Columbia project as a top priority, since it should become the basis for the naval part of the nuclear “triad”.

In addition, development of the Virginia-class submarines, the CVN 80 aircraft carrier, and the first vessel of a new class of frigate warships has been delayed for years due to a lack of skilled labor and design problems.

As Regnum reported, on March 19, the Pentagon reported that the US Navy had ordered the delivery of 17 F/A-18 Hornet carrier-based fighter-bombers from Boeing. The Ministry of Defense estimates that the contract, worth more than $1.1 billion, will be completed by April 2027.
