U.S. Navy Lines Up 34 New Warships, Outpacing Every Rival Fleet

To maintain its position as the strongest navy on the planet, the US Navy must constantly innovate. Billions of dollars are being poured into this endeavor every year. As a result, the US Navy has one of the best shipbuilding pipelines on the planet. It includes advanced destroyers, next-generation aircraft carriers, and cutting-edge attack submarines. These ships and subs will be the newest additions to the strongest Navy in the world. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at the US Navy and which ships and submarines will be the future of its fleet. (These Naval Ships Have Been Operating for Longer Than You’ve Been Alive.)

To determine the future warships and submarines of the U.S. Navy, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Upcoming U.S. Navy Commissionings, a military data site. We compiled data on all ships and submarines that have at least had their keel laid and ordered these alphabetically. We included supplemental information regarding the classification of vessel, unit type, and current status.

Here is a look at the ships and submarines that will be entering the U.S. Navy in the coming years:
