The Navy has also planned the Columbia-class to be fitted with the most "up-to-date capabilities and stealth" to ensure they are survivable throughout their full 40-year life span. The Columbia-Class Submarine will be larger than the Ohio-class design in terms of submerged displacement, and therefore will be the largest submarine ever built by the United States. As the Navy’s top priority, the Columbia-class program will remain funded even at the expense of funding other Navy programs. The Navy has identified the Columbia-class program as its top priority program, and wants to procure the first Columbia-class boat in 2021. Starting in 2031, the Navy plans to replace each retiring Ohio-class boat with a new Columbia-class SSBN submarine.
As the Ohio-class SSBNs were first deployed in 1981, they will start reaching the end of their service between 20, at a rate of about one boat per year. The Ohio-class submarines were designed to have a service life of 42 years (two 20-year cycles with a 2-year midlife nuclear refueling period).
