The Seawolf's propulsion system makes it ten times more quiet over its full range of operating speeds than the Improved-688 class and 70 times more quiet than the initial generation of Los Angeles 688-class submarines. Much much of the design effort was focused on noise reduction, and it is expected that the fully coated boat will restore the level of acoustic advantage which the US Navy enjoyed for the last three decades. The Seawolf has the highest tactical speed of any US submarine. It incorporates the latest in quieting technology to keep pace with the threat then posed by an aggressive Soviet Union. It sports an eight-tube, double-deck torpedo room to simultaneously engage multiple threats. The Seawolf features a strengthened sail, designed to permit operations under the polar ice cap for taking the fight to the Soviets in their own front yard. These platforms are capable of integrating into a battle group's infrastructure, or shifting rapidly into a Incorporation of sophisticated electronics produces enhanced indications and warning, surveillance, and communications capabilities. In addition to their capabilities in countering enemy submarines and surface shipping, Seawolf submarines are suited for battlespace-preparation roles. The Soviet submarines are one of the most survivable elements of their intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal. The primary mission of the Seawolf was to destroy Soviet ballistic missile submariness before they could attack American targets. Most capable submarine and surface threats. SSN-21 Seawolf-class Seawolf-class submarines were designed to operate autonomously against the world's
