Gunny,
Nice little info piece on the Virginia Class. I've started noticing Hobby Boss's series in 1/700 scale of modern Subs. Actually they are extremely nice, at very affordable prices, with an ever expanding range. I'm not sure if they have jumped the Virginia Class yet, but The LA, Improved LA, and Sea Wolf boats are very nice

Plenty of plastic to keep all of us going ! Semper Fi....................Bruce

For what it's worth, A few weeks ago the Secretary of the Navy announced that the next three Virginia class submarines would be named as follows: SSN 780 Missouri, SSN781 California, SSN782 Mississippi
