Diminishing returns: the US Navy’s attack boat availability problem

A report from the US Congressional Research Service has outlined the current state of SSN availability across the UN Navy’s subsurface fleet. [...]

The US Navy (USN) had 31 of 49 nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN) available for operations in FY2023, with the 18 remaining vessels either in maintenance or idle awaiting their turn in a shipyard, according to a report by the US Congressional Research Service (CRS). [...]

In total, 37% of the USN’s SSN fleet was unavailable for operations in FY2023, with 14 boats listed as undergoing maintenance and four vessels described as “idle” and still to undergo depot maintenance. [...] The ratio of active SSNs to those undergoing maintenance or idle is significantly worse compared to FY2015, which saw just 19% of the force unavailable for operations from a fleet of 53 boats. [...]

However, the USN’s fleet of SSNs could be reduced by up to 10% in the early-2030s should approval be given by the US Congress for the sales of three Virginia-class SSNs to Australia under the AUKUS SSN programme, with a further two boats on option.
