Talk:Columbia-class submarine

October 2012 presentation

There's more details in the Brougham presentation and in an article about it here if someone wants to incorporate it. The SSBN(X) designation seems to being deprecated in preference to the Ohio Replacement Submarine. FlagSteward (talk) 17:12, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Article Title

The page is currently "SSBN-X future follow-on submarine," however the program is now officially titled the "Ohio-class Replacement Program." I believe one of the most up-to-date articles on the subject can be found here. The article makes this point but the title remains unchanged. Should it not be changed?

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 22:03, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Section

Does the miscellaneous section really belong in this article? It seems to me to be, at best, tangentally related to the subject.HubcapD (talk) 23:46, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Potential ship naming

The first Ohio replacement sub may be the USS Columbia, which would make this the Columbia class ballistic missile submarine. The name Columbia would be in honor of the U.S. District of Columbia. Shelbystripes (talk) 07:15, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

To prevent a premature page move, I have redirected the new potential target page and made a couple of pro forma edits so non-administrators will not be able to move the page. Once a consensus exists to move the page, a move can be requested. Safiel (talk) 00:32, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 3 September 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. The consensus is to wait a few days.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:47, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Ohio Replacement Submarine → Columbia-class submarine – Now that the ship is officially named, it should be moved to the appropriate page. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 04:50, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

• WAIT a few days The submarine has not been officially named yet. While the proposed name was sent to Congress at the end of July, statute requires the Secretary wait at least 30 days after the notification of Congress before a vessel can be officially named. I would expect that the vessel will be officially named, probably this week or next week. Until that happens, wait, but as soon as that happens, I will concur with the move proposal. Safiel (talk) 19:32, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

• It appears that Congress already expects the ship to be named Columbia, and the class to be the Columbia class. An August 18 report from the Congressional Research Service describes the program as the "Navy Columbia Class (Ohio Replacement) Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN[X]) Program" in its title, and also describes it specifically as "the Columbia class program, previously known as the Ohio replacement program (ORP) or SSBN(X) program." The Congressional Research Service is a non-partisan research team operating under Congress, which prepares reports for Congress at its request. It is generally regarded as an unbiased and reliable source. Shelbystripes (talk) 19:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• Comment I do hold a high respect for the CRS, but I believe their usage of Columbia-class is pragmatic and the right thing to do for the purposes of their report. Congress expects the class to be named Columbia-class because the Secretary of the Navy sent them the necessary notification. HOWEVER. The ship class is not OFFICIALLY the Columbia-class until tthe Secretary of the Navy makes the formal naming announcement, which he has not done yet. Until, it is still the Ohio Replacement Program. While it is tempting to do so, we should not jump the gun. I believe we are looking at mere days until that announcement comes and I believe we should wait for it. So I will stick to my current position of wait, with the caveat that the instant that naming announcement is made, then we can go ahead and move the page. Safiel (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• Wait until official announcement - as Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball, and per Safiel's comments. - BilCat (talk) 20:52, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Conventional Trident

Does anyone know if there has been any furthering of the Conventional Trident in general, but more specifically any consequences, permutations, versions, etc. for the Columbia/Ohio Replacement?

We can now go ahead with the move to Columbia-class submarine

Well, it was actually more than the "few days" I said in the previous move discussion, but with this reliably sourced announcement https://news.usni.org/2016/12/13/secnav-mabus-to-officially-designate-first-orp-boat-uss-district-of-columbia-ssbn-826 I think we can safely go ahead with the move. Mabus will OFFICIALLY name the new class tomorrow. I will post the necessary tag at the target. Safiel (talk) 00:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
