I don't see the Viriginia replacing the 688i model either. Look what SCX and SCU did for Sub Command. It allowed us to play those classic missions that went on during the Cold War...for nostagia's sake...even Red Storm Rising did the same.
For the purist, we'd like to continue playing those missions with the 688i because the Seawolf or Virignia hadn't been commsioned yet. |

In my opinion it would be a better deal to replace the seawolf with the new virginia. The Seawolf class was more of an experiment than a real mass production submarine like the LA was or the Virginia is intended to be in near future.

That is why Virginia has got VLS again,and just four torpedo tubes.Land strikes with newest versions of Tomahawk will be the primary missions for the new submarine. However,it is my personal opinion,Seawolf is still far more capable fighter of the deep,than any other submarine in the world.Russians are turning to "Graney" class,copying ideas of Virginia in fact,U.S. is building Virginias,oriented for special operations and land strikes.Only three Seawolf submarines of US NAVY are the most up-to-date antisubmarine-antivessel fighters. |

Nay. No replacement. I love my Seawolf and 688i's !! The Virginia should be added in ADDITION to them.
