Here's What We Know
Columbia submarines are intended to replace the Ohio submarines, which carry the fourth-generation Trident II (D5) ballistic missiles. Columbia class missile cruisers will be able to carry 16 missiles equipped with nuclear warheads with a maximum launch range of over 11,000 kilometers.
The US Navy is requesting $6.2bn for FY2024. The funding will be used to develop the program and purchase a second Columbia-class missile cruiser called USS Wisconsin (SSBN-827). The construction of the submarine USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826) by General Dynamics Electric Boat is already underway.

The US Navy will finance the production of 12 new missile cruisers. They will replace 14 Ohio-type submarines. The first submarine was ordered in FY2021.
