Replacing the Subs

[Colin Parkinson]

There are not "requirements" yet. There will be range, weapons and indiscretion rate requirements, as well as crew complement requirements. But likely there never be a tonnage one. Tonnage is not a capability. Might be size constraints/restraints though.

Tonnage equals room for crew, fuel, food, water, weapons and sensors. I don't get to see the real spec of each sub, but there is only so much you can cram into a boat and then be able to live in it for an extended period of time. Without tonnage, you are likely compromising something.
