Columbia delays and long deterrent patrols

If Columbia-class construction slips into the 2030s, will the Navy overrun the Ohio-class hulls?

No firm delay forecast is given; the concern is that prolonged deterrent patrols already place additional strain on boats and crews.

The question asks whether Columbia delays could force the Navy to overrun Ohio-class service lives. The reply expresses hope that this can be avoided without supplying a definite schedule forecast. It points to unusually long deterrent patrols by American, British, and French submarines and the strain they place on both crews and boats.
