Russian Sarov class; bit of an odd one, often purported to be a spy submarine (Russia has a number of these, very interesting in their own right - see the 'Losharik') but thought by some to be a testbed for the KANYON strategic weapon.

Diesel electric but carrying a nuclear reactor and fitted with a seemingly outdated screw/rudder configuration. Notice the lack of conventional torpedo tubes; the Sarov instead hosts a large bow door from which the KANYON would be released.

KANYON itself is an oversized torpedo, 24M in length and 1.6M in diameter.

So far only seen on leaked documents (seen on Russian TV in 2015, in response to US deploying additional missile defence) it ostensibly carries a 100MT nuclear warhead (for reference, the Tsar bomb was just over 50MT) and is designed as a strategic weapon to destroy coastal cities/bases. To operate over long ranges it carries it's own nuclear reactor, not unlike the US' own project Pluto.

Some are sceptical as to whether the system will ever progress past the prototype stage, but retrofitting a submarine solely for testing it is an indication that they are serious in my mind. When operationally deployed it is likely to be carried by the new Project 09851 'Khabarovsk' class submarine, carrying up to six weapons.

Wouldn't want to be posted on an outdated submarine in the PLAN myself tbqh

>>34324954
Seems like a really shitty strategic nuclear weapon, the most important aspect of these weapons is their ability to be brought on to the target quickly. A nuclear exchange can be over in just a few hours, it seems like a liability to try and use a weapon that would perhaps at best take the better part of a day to reach its target. That and it can only engage coastal targets. I'm thinking that they aren't seriously considering deploying the weapon (if they ever even built a prototype), but rather to see if they can't get the west to develop a costly countermeasure for a weapon they never intend to produce. Also the Sarov will be used to build a hydrophone line along Russia's northern coast, and the retrofitting might just be for the UUVs that it carries.

>>34325054
The idea that they're just doing it to force the US to adapt might hold some weight, but you should note that the US has a lot more money on hand to throw at a problem than Russia.

That the weapon would take (up to) days to arrive following a US strike is not neccecarily a limitation; for MAD to apply it does not matter when retaliation occurs, only that it is certain to occur. In a scenario where the US has the edge over the Russians in missike defence the Kanyon could play a useful role.

Alternatley, it would be an effective first strike weapon, silently moving into position in an adversary's ports and detonating without warning, allowing Russia's missiles to be used elsewhere (e.g. in reducing the enemies capacity to retaliate).

While this is a bit speculative, I doubt something like this would be easy to keep quiet seeing that it is carrying a reactor (that and there is the thermal detection method). That and the Russian's will have to spend a bit of money on this, a brand new, one of a kind sub will be required to even use this weapon, and with more budget cuts to be expected later this year (military budget took a HUGE cut in march already) there's a chance it would find itself on the chopping block. And to speculate a bit more, have the Russian's really ever been interested in first strike weapons? The entire purpose of strategic nuclear weapons is to deter the enemy from using their own, no army actually plans to engage in a nuclear war.

Finnish submarine Vesikko, the only survivor out the Finnish navy's six pre-WW2 submarines. It's essentially a prototype of the German Type II U-boat, designed by Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (a dummy company set up by the German navy in the Netherlands) and built in Finland, the deal being that the Germans could test the submarine for a time in Finland and then the Finnish government could buy it. Today it's a museum ship at Suomenlinna fortress in Helsinki.

>Finnish navy's six pre-WW2 submarines

Whoops, meant to write five. Besides the "proto-Type II" Vesikko, there were three submarines of Vetehinen-class and a single small Saukko-class submarine (originally intended to be used on Lake Ladoga).

Pic related, two of the three Vetehinen class submarines in 1942.

>>34325447
Its no wonder that that was the only survivor, you could walk from Estonia to Finland on all the mines without getting your feet wet.

>>34325470

Yeah, that's true, but they all actually survived the war itself (even Vetehinen, despite ramming a Soviet sub to sink it), but not the Paris peace treaty which forbade Finland from having submarines. They were all scrapped following the war save for Vesikko.

During the early parts of US involvement in WW2, the US Navy had some problems with their Mark 14 torpedoes, and that's putting it mildly. The torpedo's Mark 6 exploder frequently either failed to explode or exploded prematurely, and in addition, the torpedos would often run too deep, or most hilariously, sometimes they would run in a circle and come back at the submarine that fired it. US Navy BuOrd of course vehemently denied that there was anything wrong with the Mark 14, until the results had to be shoved down their throats.

Lieutenant Commander L. R. (Dan) Daspit, commander of the USS Tinosa was one of the several sub skippers who had to conted with the Mark 14's problems, and in one instance in 1943 he carefully documented his attempts at sinking a Japanese 19,000-ton whale factory ship Tonan Maru III.

>He fired four torpedoes from 4,000 yd (3,700 m); two hit, stopping the target dead in the water. Daspit immediately fired another two; these hit as well. With no enemy anti-submarine combatants in sight, Daspit then took time to carefully maneuver into a textbook firing position, 875 yd (800 m) square off the target’s beam, where he fired nine more Mark 14s and observed all with his periscope (despite the Japanese firing at it). All were duds.

>Daspit's log gives time of firing of each and states over and over again "fired [nth] torpedo. Hit. No apparent effect." Daspit recorded about the sixth one since Tonan Maru had become a "sitting duck", "... Hit. No apparent effect. This torpedo hit well aft on the port side, made splash at the side of the ship and was then observed to have taken a right turn and to jump clear of the water about 100 feet (30 m) from the stern of the tanker. I find it hard to convince myself that I saw this."

subs in the US used to be named after mythical sea creatures. They Navy figured out long ago, if they want Congress to open up their wallet for them, they just have to name ships after the State/City of a member of congress as a trade off.

The first titanium hull ever, this shit is the Mig-25 of the deep, steaming at you at 43 knots armed with supercavitating torpedoes you wont be able to evade

Of course its loud as fuck because its so fast and was obsolete when it first sailed but its nice that russians had the balls to actually make shit like this

I'm more afraid of dying while in an airplane. Being in a submarine doesn't really phase me. I'm not sure why.

>>34334100
Obsolete in what sense?

>>34334153

the concept of an undersea interceptor didn't work out, it was just too loud

It was meant to rush out if the russians knew the US boomers were coming, meet them halfway and BTFO them but shit going at 43 knots is going to be LOUD

The US Navy kind of panicked when they heard about it and the single Papa class that was even faster and they rushed the Mk48 ADCAP program to counteract it.

The russians have a Shkval torpedo that goes at 200 knots in a supercavitation bubble which is basically lightspeed in water but little is known about it other than it exists and is fielded

>>34333232
right. that makes sense. thanks for the answer.

>>34335220
I'm no expert here but it's probably just a few small holes that water is able to get in from, it really just needs to ensure that there's no pressure differential between the inside and outside, during operation there's likely to be no significant movement of water through the bridge.

Yeah we've got a couple,

Taney - Prewar built Coast Guard Cutter, was at Pearl Harbor Dec 7. 1941, command ship at the Battle of Okinawa.
Constellation - Civil War sloop
Chesapeake - Light Ship (Basically a mobile light house)

We also have the SS John W. Brown, one of two liberty ships in the US, she also gets underway a couple times a year for a cruise out on the bay.

Two war patrols, 2 merchants and 2 patrol craft sunk (one being the last ship of the war) Destroyed 12 mines, took 7 japanese prisoner. Training submarine after ww2 until converted to fleet snorkel, Libyan Crisis, Cuban Missile Crisis as a blockade boat, also has one of the highest dive records in the US Navy at 11,884.

The only reason her war time record is so small compared to other subs is because she got into the war late. The Tench class subs weren't started on till 1944, Torsk didn't make it to Japan till 1945.
Sure she doesn't have a record like that of the Silversides, but she did quite a bit after the war, and Baltimore adopted her at some point in the 1960s, hence why she became a museum there. The last sinking of WW2 helped too.

The Borei's are still bigger than an Ohio. The Typhoon is just THAT mind-warpingly gigantic.

The Alfa. The closest humans have ever come to serving on the USS Defiant.

I can only imagine how much of a nightmare it was keeping its late 60s/early 70's slavic slave-rigged automation systems running. Shit must have been intense to serve on when it was running, though, operating a fucking SSN on a watch crew of barely a dozen men.

That, and the fact that it could beat the USS Iowa or the USS Enterprise in a drag race.
