SSN (X) - Seawolf Redux or something far larger?

SSN(X): The U.S. Navy's Next Generation Submarine Is in Zombie Land

At least for now, SSN(X) looks like a zombie submarine project, with no clear direction or call to go forward made just yet. And that's a problem.

Meh, not really that newsworthy.

All the weapons the author is whining about wanting aren't part of SSN(X), they'll be carried by Virginias and maybe Columbia-class.

Sarcastically, the easy way to design the SSN(X) is to make an even-larger Seawolf forward hull to stick onto the Columbia-class engineroom. Can't just use the Seawolf operations compartment as-is because the Columbia-class is a couple feed wider in diameter.
