Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Los Angeles class submarines The Los Angeles class is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) that forms the backbone of the United States submarine fleet, and is the most numerous class of nuclear powered submarine in the world. They were preceded by the Sturgeon class and followed by the short-lived Seawolf class and the Virginia class. Usually named after U.S. cities, the LA class broke a long-standing Navy tradition of naming attack submarines after sea creatures. The boats are also colloquially referred to as "688-class" subs, after the hull classification symbol of the first boat, SSN-688. From navy. ...

LA-class submarines have a publicly acknowledged top speed in excess of 25 knots (46 km/h, 29 mph); the precise speed is classified. It should be noted that the actual performance of the Los Angeles class is likely far in excess of the official figures. The fact that submarines generate less hydrodynamic drag than surface vessels and have tremendous available shaft horsepower suggests this. Informed sources estimate the maximum speed of this class of submarine from 75 to 100 m.p.h. They carry about 25 torpedo-tube launched weapons, and all boats of the class are capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles horizontally (from the torpedo tubes). The last 31 boats of this class also have 12 dedicated vertical launch (VLS) tubes for launching Tomahawks. The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile. ...

The final 23 boats in the series, referred to as "688i", are quieter than their predecessors, incorporate a more advanced combat system, and are configured for under-ice operations (with diving planes on the bow and a reinforced sail). The Navy is phasing out older non-VLS Los Angeles-class attack submarines in favor of the Virginia-class attack submarines. A diving plane is a control surface found on submarines which allow the vessel to pitch its bow up or down to assist in the process of submerging or surfacing the boat, as well as controlling depth when submerged. ...
