North Dakota (SSN-784) will be a Virginia-class submarine. She will be the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the state of North Dakota. The contract to build her was awarded to Electric Boat division of General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut on 14 August 2003. This ship is the first of the Block III subs which will feature a revised bow replacing the 12 individual VLS tubes with two all up round "six guns" allowing faster reloading and simplifying construction significantly. #Nuclear_Submarine #SSN #SSN784 #Sub #Submarine #US_Navy #USS_North_Dakota #VCA #Virginia_Class
