Virginia-class submarine
|
The Virginia-class submarine is the newest class of nuclear-powered cruise missile attack submarines in service by the United States Navy. They are scheduled to replace the older Los Angeles-class submarine, many of which have already been decommissioned. The class appears in the Toho anime, Godzilla Singular Point.

Somewhere beneath the ocean, the crew of a Virginia-class nuclear submarine heard the screeching sounds of a creature through their acoustics monitor. Two officers spoke to each other, with one of them asking how a creature 900 meters under the sea was moving at 50 knots. The creature diverged and began heading toward the sub, 5,500 yards away. The commanding officer ordered everyone to assume their positions as the creature was moving fast, now 1,200 yards away. The submarine continued cruising as Godzilla Aquatilus followed the vessel, leaving clouds of Red Dust in the water.
Capabilities
Armament
The Virginia-class submarines from Block I-IV are armed with 12 VLS tubes for Tomahawk cruise missiles, four 21-inch torpedo tubes for Mark 48 torpedoes or UGM-84 Harpoon missiles, and 25 torpedoes and missiles in the torpedo room.[1] The Block V variant is armed with 28 Tomahawk BGM-109 missiles in the VPM module, 12 VLS tubes with one Tomahawk BGM-109 in each, four 21-inch torpedo tubes for Mark 48 torpedoes or UGM-84 Harpoon missiles, accounting for 65 torpedoes and missiles in total.[1]
Pressure resistance
The Virginia-class submarine is able to operate at a test depth of over 240 meters (800 feet).[1] In Godzilla Singular Point, the submarine is shown to be operable at 900 meters.
