The Astronomical Costs
The construction of a Columbia-class submarine is anticipated to cost $4.2 billion. However, elements, technologies, and components from the Ohio and Virginia classes will be used where practical to save money. The total cost of the Navy’s Columbia-class submarine fleet is anticipated to be roughly $347 billion. As you can think, such intricate and elaborate machines demand a substantial amount of paperwork.

300-Page Report
In April 2014, the Navy completed a 300-page specification study for the Ohio Replacement Program submarines. It’s hardly unexpected that there are so many prerequisites. There are 159 of them in total. Among these are weapons, escape routes, fluid systems, hatches, doors, seawater systems, and a predetermined length of 560 feet (170 m). The length is set to guarantee that enough space is always available inside the pressure hull.
