Needs disambiguation. Both the SSN 575 and SSN 21 classes are "Seawolf Class Submarines" Elde 00:49, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- True, tho it should be noted that the total number of SSN-575-class ships was less than two. SSN-575 was unique, thank the good Lord Neptune.--the Epopt 01:13, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
This is why the Navy generally uses type hullnumber Class, to avoid the ambiguities that can arise using name Class. (Though arguably, the submarine ID scheme is so hosed no matter what system you use, that any potential confusion over Seawolf is a minor matter indeed.) I rearranged the order you created though, and modified the TOC levels to produce something a bit more logical.

[edit] Meters or Feet
This page is inconsistent with meters and feet? Should I go ahead and convert them to meters? I don't want to mess things up. Thanks
The US Navy uses the English measurement system so it's probably not appropriate to update everything to meters. Even tactical data is in yards and feet.
[edit] Propulsion inconsistency
"Propulsion: S6W reactor manufactured by General Electric"
Looking at the S6G reactor page, an S6W reactor is manufacuted by Westinghouse, whereas this page lists General Electric as the manufacturer. I would like to fix the error, but don't know the correct infomration. Thankyou to anyone who can fix it. --Commander Keane 12:22, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Grrr. Well, [1], [2], and [3] all say S6W, though the last says, "a GE PWR S6W reactor system".

It is in fact manufactured by Westinghouse and not General Electric. The S1G through S9G reactor plants are made by General Electric. --SovBob 04:42, 8 Oct 2006 (EST)
[edit] Cheaper?
The article says "...led to the design of the smaller and cheaper Virginia-class submarine". But the Virginia class submarine article says that Seawolfs cost $2 billion, and Virginias cost $2.6 billion.

[edit] Info on speed and max depth
Where is the source that Seawolf crush depth or NED(never exceed depth) is 2000ft? BTW, Seawolf can go faster than 35, so we should put 35+ --ProdigySportsman 20:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
