They were designed as a less expensive alternative to the Cold War era designed Seawolf-class attack submarines, and they are slated to replace the aging Los Angeles class subs, seventeen of which (from a total of 62) have already been decommissioned.

The Virginias incorporate several innovations. Instead of periscopes, the subs have a pair of extendable "photonics masts" outside the pressure hull. Each contains several high-resolution cameras with light-intensification and infrared sensors, an infrared laser rangefinder, and an integrated Electronic Support Measures (ESM) array. Signals from the masts' sensors are transmitted through fiber optic data lines through signal processors to the control center. The subs also make use of pump-jet propulsors for quieter operations.
