B 611 Zulu Class Soviet Navy ballistic Missile Submarines

Development Project of the Soviet Navy attack submarine 611 (Nat designation Zulu Class) was launched in 1950. The design of the Project 611 diesel submarine was influenced by World War the German Type XXI U-boat. The Project 611 submarine was assembled in Severodvinsk and some parts of the submarine were delivered from Leningrad. A total of 26 ships were built, the first entering service in 1952.

Six submarines of project 611 were converted to become the first ballistic missile submarines. One was armed with a single F-11FM Scud missile and five others with two Scuds each. The missiles were too long to be contained in the hull of the boat, and continued to sail extended. B-67 Soviet submarine successfully launched a missile on September 16, 1955. The success of the Zulus was made to the design of Project 629, the Golf class submarines. In the second half of the 1960 Project 611 submarines were equipped with hydro-acoustic devices and improved navigation and communication systems. They remained in service until the end of the decade of 1980.

Type 094 Jin Class Chinese Ballistic Missile Submarine

The Type 094 (NATO reporting name: Jin class) is the second generation of the chinese Navy nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) to replace the type 092 (Xia class) SSBN of a single hull commissioned in 1983. The Type 094 was designed by the CSIC Ship Design Institute Wuhan second (also known as Institute 719) in Wuhan, Hubei province and built by CSIC Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. (formerly known as Bohai Shipyard) in Huludao, province Liaoning.

The Type 094 has the capacity to carry 12 ballistic missiles launched from submarines (SLBM). The JuLang 2 SLBM designed and developed by CASIC fourth Academy is a three-stage solid fuel ballistic missile strategy. It evolved from the land Dongfeng 31 (DF-31) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The maximum range of JuLang 2 was estimated at 7,000 ~ 8. 000 km, three times that of the first generation SLBM JuLang one used by the Type 092.

SSN688 Los Angeles Class Fast Attack Submarine

The Los Angeles Class SSN specifically included ASW against Soviet submarines trying to sink the U.S. carrier and ASuW against capital ships in the group of the surface of the Soviet action [SAG]. The LOS ANGELES class SSN was designed almost exclusively for Carrier Battlegroup escort, they were fast, quiet, and could launch torpedoes Mk48 and ADCAP, Harpoon anti-ship missiles (and not taken), and both attack and against the land ships (no longer carried) Tomahawk cruise missiles. The new submarines showed another step improvement in quieting and increased operating speed that allows them to support the CVBG. Escort duties included conducting ASW sweeps hundreds of miles ahead of the attacks and carrying out CVBG against SAG.

The submarines of the Los Angeles-class ships are some of the most advanced submarine of its kind in the world. While anti-submarine warfare remains its primary mission, the inherent characteristics of the submarine's stealth, mobility and endurance are used to meet the challenges of current global geopolitical climate change. Submarines are able to get on station quickly, stay for an extended period of time and carry out a variety of missions including the deployment of special forces, undermined, and the attack precision strike land.

AGSS 555 USS Dolphin Navy Submarine

USS Dolphin (AGSS 555), homeported Naval Research Center and Development (NRaD) facility in San Diego, was the Navy's only operational, diesel-electric, deep-diving, research and development of submarines. She could carry scientific payloads of more than 12 tonnes, a capacity much greater than any other deep dive boat operating in research today. Dolphin may also keep the most extensive facilities onboard laboratory deep submersible counterparts.

USS Dolphin Navy submarine was diving depth designed to test advanced submarine structures, sensors, weapons, communications systems and machines. USS DOLPHIN served as a scientific platform capable of operations at an unprecedented depth, far superior to any known operational submarine. In November 1968, set a depth record for operating submarines that still stands. In August 1969, launched a torpedo from the deepest anyone has been fired.

SSN774 Virginia Class Fast Attack Submarines

The SSN774 Virginia Class Fast Attack Submarines are 377 meters long, have a beam of 34 feet, and the box 32 feet of water (surfaced.) Her full load displacement is 7,800 tons submerged. Praise the ship is 134 officers and enlisted. The Virginia-class submarines have a maximum speed of 25 knots on the surface and a submerged speed of over 32 knots. The maximum diving depth is over 800 feet. Because the reactor in the Virginia-class submarine is designed to survive the life of the town, the radius of action of these submarines is almost unlimited.

To support SOC operations, the Virginia-class submarines are capable of carrying and launching both the DDS (dry deck shelter) and SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicle). These submarines are equipped with a locking 9-man diver chamber for rapid deployment of swimmers directly from the submarine.

The Virginia-class submarines are the first class of U.S. submarine to be equipped with a helmet system does not penetrate fiber optic periscope. The Virginia is equipped with two VHL-1 Kollmorgen photonic masts. In addition to the standard capabilities of traditional periscopes optical light, photonic masts also incorporate LLTV (Low Light TV), thermal imaging and laser ranging capabilities.
