Rogue,
The sensors and weapons fits are more capable than those on the Virginia for the task they are for.
I will give you the fact that they will not carry Tomahawks but that is not part of their tasking.
On a sub v sub engagement they will outmatch the Virginias even in a blue water scenario. The only thing the SSNs have on them is range in a long term pursuit but in that case it is a win for the AIP boat.
Cheers
