OHIO Replacement SSBN
 Sufficient payload:16 missile tubes
21st Century Capability…
• Meets USSTRATCOM requirements
• Flexibility to handle problems across
triad or degradation in strategic
environment
 Sufficient stealth to address the
projected threat through the 2080s
 12 OR SSBNs to replace 14 OHIOs
(Large Aperture Bow Array)
Additional Array
OHIO Replacement SSBN Attributes
• Life-of-ship reactor core
• Reduced mid-life maintenance period
 Maximize reuse of OHIO and VIRGINIA
components to minimize cost
In an Affordable Platform…
 Lead ship construction must commence in 2021
• First Strategic Patrol in 2031
• Maintains fleet of 10 operational SSBNs through
transition to OHIO Replacement
 Procurement timeline meets USSTRATCOM
requirements with moderate operational risk
during transition period
 Low margin for unforeseen SSBN maintenance
issues or late OHIO Replacement delivery
 12 OR SSBNs needed to meet long term
requirements during OHIO Replacement mid-life
overhaul period
At Responsible Cost…

• Design – Build – Sustain
• Cost Reduction – Design for Affordability / Sustainability
• Leverage VA Class Cost Reduction Success
• Stealth = Survivable = Credible Nuclear Deterrent
• Enhance Design Maturity at Construction Start
• Deploy Strategic Deterrence through Integration of the Existing
TRIDENT II D5 Weapon System into the OHIO Replacement
• Maximize use of components previously developed and qualified for
VIRGINIA Class, SEAWOLF Class, and OHIO Class

Strategic Deterrence into the 2080’s
 The U.S. will retain nuclear weapons for the foreseeable future
 The Triad (SSBNs, ICBMs, Bombers) provides effective nuclear deterrence and
assurance
 Deployed U.S. strategic warhead numbers have decreased significantly, however
majority are now carried by SSBNs
 The SSBN force provides the U.S. with a survivable assured response capability
 SSBNs use adaptability to cope with change
 The current OHIO Class SSBN force is reaching the end of its operational service
life
 Further delays in the OHIO Replacement SSBN would gap at-sea strategic
requirements
 OHIO Replacement SSBN meets the 21st century requirement for survivable
strategic deterrence at minimal cost
OHIO Replacement leverages 50+ years of SSBN design and operation experience and
combines it with the cost-control lessons of the VIRGINIA-class SSN to provide an assured
response capability for the future in a lean and cost-efficient manner
The OHIO Replacement SSBN is a cost-effective recapitalization of our Nation’s sea-based strategic deterrent
