The U.S. Navy is considered the strongest and most technologically advanced naval force on the planet. To maintain this position at the top of the heap, the Navy must constantly innovate. Whether it’s weapons systems, sensors, or logistics the U.S. Navy is on the cutting-edge of technology. Along with this, the Navy has one of the best shipbuilding pipelines designed to constantly churn out new destroyers, attack submarines, and even aircraft carriers. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at the future ships of the U.S. Navy.
To determine the future warships and submarines of the U.S. Navy, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Upcoming U.S. Navy Commissionings, a military data site. We compiled data on all ships and submarines that have at least had their keel laid and ordered these alphabetically. We included supplemental information regarding the classification of vessel, unit type, and current status.
Here is a look at the ships and submarines that will be entering the U.S. Navy in the coming years:
