These submarines—anticipated to be named USS Potomac and USS Norfolk—will initiate production of Block VI. Their delivery is projected for the mid-2030s.While the hull numbers have not been officially assigned in the FY2026 budget, SSN-814 and SSN-815 are the most likely designations, following the April 2025 award of SSN-813—named USS Atlanta.In this video, Defense Updates analyzes what more Block VI Virginia class brings to the table compared to Block V ?#defenseupdates #virginiaclass #usnavy Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:01 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN01:35 CONVENTIONAL PROMPT STRIKE (CPS) INTEGRATION02:43 SUPPORT CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS04:27 BETTER STEALTH PROFILE 05:49 COMMUNICATION ADVANCEMENTS
