This is my first SB style drawing. It is based on a 3D model I built. Still a wip hopefully it will improve with positive feedback from the community.

The concept is kind of AU. This is a design that would have replaced Los Angeles class SSNs.

Link to the3D versionfor comparison.

Structure: An evolution of the SSN-21 Program, the NX-AS design was selected to replace the aging 688 fleet of SSNs . The NAS sacrifices the top speed and weapons payload of the Seawolf class for improved stealth and flexibility in payload.

NX-AS has a reconfigurable mission bay (RMB) capable of carrying a variety of purpose built mission modules. These modules consist of various missile launch systems, mine laying, special forces and intelligence operations equipment. The major mission modules can be swapped out in a matter of weeks at specialized shore facilities and lesser alterations can be made by submarine tenders.

In addition to the RMB the NX-AS uses a distributed propulsion system (DPS) consisting of four (4) 7,000 hp turbo pump jets. In addition to SSN-21 level quieting already integrated into NX-AS systems, the pump jets reduce exploitable broadband and narrowband signatures even further. It is estimated that NAS can remain undetected by any sensor system currently employed.

Very nice work. It looks more Russian than American but I like it.

Thanks. I think we realized akulas and victors had a better sail design than 688s.

So did the USN (eventually) if you look at future Block Virginias.

This was taken from the Federation of American Scientists website.

Nice design! The Tomahawk is the old poorly-drawn version however.

No flank array?

Added a few things. Updated the tomahawk to the newest version from the parts sheet. Attempted to draw flank arrays. I'm not satisfied with them but I think its a good start.

Also going to put this in SSN design challenge.
