Each submarine is projected to make 14-15 deployments during its 33-year service life.
If the SSNs are anything like the SSBNs (missile subs), a deployment is a 6 month cruise. So in a 33 year service life it will be deployed for a total of 7.5 years (25%)?
Even if a deployment is considered a cruise for the blue crew and a cruise for the gold crew (1 year total) it will still only be deployed for half of its service life?

Article (wiki) said recent improvements may extend its service life (for some of them) to 2070.

Based on recent updates to the designs, some of the Virginia class subs will still be in service in 2070.[10]
