Navy Plans Hypersonic Weapons On SSGN Subs By 2025 

A top Navy official said the service plans to deploy the first conventional hypersonic weapons on Ohio-class submarines by 2025 before adding them to newer Virginia-class vessels starting in 2028. The weapons, called Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) capability, are scheduled to be deployed first to the Army by around 2023 and then to the Navy on its four-vessel group of Ohio-class non-nuclear weapon armed guided-missile submarines (SSGNs) by around 2025, Vice Adm. Johnny Wolfe, director of Strategic Systems programs, said during the annual virtual Naval Submarine League symposium on Nov. 17.
