SSN-764 USS 보이시, 예정보다 7년 늦게 오버홀 돌입

미해군이 2015년 이후 운항되지 못했다가 2024년 2월 오버홀에 들어갔던 LA급 공격원잠 SSN-764 USS 보이시를 오버홀을 중지하고 퇴역시킨 뒤, 신규 잠수함 건조에 예산을 투입할 예정이네요.

미 해군이 로스앤젤레스급 공격 잠수함인 USS 보이시(SSN 764)를 퇴역시키기로 한 결정을 공개했습니다.

해군성의 성명에 따르면, 이번 결정은 함대 요구 사항과 자원 배분에 대한 공무원들의 엄격하고 데이터에 기반한 평가를 거쳐 내려졌습니다. 이번 조치를 통해 해군은 해당 잠수함의 계획된 오버홀(분해 수리)에 투입될 예정이었던 예산과 숙련된 인력을 더 우선순위가 높은 프로그램으로 돌릴 수 있게 됩니다.

대릴 코들 해군 참모총장은 이번 결정이 비록 어려웠으나, 진화하는 위협 환경에서 해군이 역량과 대비 태세를 유지하기 위해 필요했다고 밝혔습니다.
그는 자원의 재배분이 버지니아급 잠수함 및 콜롬비아급 잠수함 프로그램을 포함한 더 진보된 플랫폼의 적기 인도를 지원할 뿐만 아니라, 기존 함대의 대비 태세도 개선할 것이라고 강조했습니다.
보이시함의 퇴역은 해군의 군 구조를 최적화하기 위한 광범위한 계획의 일환입니다. 이 접근 방식은 지출되는 모든 달러가 작전 대비 태세와 미래의 위협에 대응하는 능력에 직접적으로 기여하도록 보장하는 데 중점을 둡니다.
이번 결정은 또한 효율성, 현대화 및 전략적 우선순위 설정을 더욱 강조하는 해군의 자산 관리 방식의 광범위한 변화를 반영합니다.
원래 보이시함의 오버홀을 위해 책정되었던 자금은 이제 해저 지배력을 유지하는 데 필수적인 것으로 간주되는 잠수함 건조 프로그램 및 기타 핵심 역량에 투자될 예정입니다.

해군은 구체적인 퇴역 일정은 밝히지 않았습니다.
USS 보이시함은 뉴포트 뉴스 조선소에서 건조되어 1992년 11월에 취역했습니다. 이 109.7미터 길이의 잠수함은 보이시 시를 기리기 위해 명명된 두 번째 군함입니다.

According to a statement from the Department of the Navy, the decision followed what officials described as a rigorous, data-driven assessment of fleet requirements and resource allocation. The move will allow the service to redirect both funding and skilled personnel away from the submarine’s planned overhaul and toward higher-priority programs.

Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Daryl Caudle indicated that the decision, while difficult, was necessary to ensure the Navy remains capable and ready in an evolving threat environment.

He emphasized that reallocating resources would support the timely delivery of more advanced platforms, including Virginia-class submarine and Columbia-class submarine programs, as well as improve the readiness of the existing fleet.

The inactivation of Boise forms part of a wider initiative aimed at optimizing the navy’s force structure. The approach focuses on ensuring that every dollar spent contributes directly to operational readiness and the ability to counter future threats.

The decision also reflects a broader transformation in how the Navy manages its assets, with increased emphasis on efficiency, modernization, and strategic prioritization.

Funds originally earmarked for Boise’s overhaul will now be invested in submarine construction programs and other key capabilities considered essential for maintaining undersea dominance.

The navy did not specify the exact timeline of the decommissioning.

USS Boise was built by Newport News Shipbuilding and commissioned in November 1992. The 109.7-meter submarine is the second naval ship to be named in honor of the city of Boise.
