submarine

I'm just wondering, have any drawings or artist impressions of the original Project 705 design, before they changed over to the design that would lead to the Alfa class, surfaced (no pun intended!) in recent times?

Stickleback Class Midge XPW Minnow (X54) Stickleback (X51) Shrimp (X52) Sprat (X53) Stickleback Class 1954 - 1958 The Stickleback class submarines were midget submarines of the Royal Navy initially ordered as improved versions of the older XE class submarines. The Royal Navy may have...

The planned second craft of the Deep Submergence Systems Project, after the Deep Submergence Research Vehicle, the DSSV didn't (officially) result in a vehicle entering service. According to John P. Craven in The Silent War, six DSRVs and four DSSVs were originally planned, but he gives no...

I thought it might be time for a dedicated thread on the Upholder class subs in Canadian service. I'll start it off with this; Via HP&CA: Victoria submarine torpedo test fire marks milestone (The Vancouver Sun) The fire damaged HMCS Chicoutimi, one of the Canadian military's four submarines...

According to Cold War submarines: the design and construction of U.S. and Soviet submarines By Norman Polmar, Kenneth J. Moore: "The Royal Navy also considered - very briefly - the possibility of a small nuclear propelled submarine" The book mentions these in the context of midget submarines...

I have been looking at the RN T class submarines and their post war service, in particular there reconstructions. A large number of the boats seem to have survived into the 60s but I have only been able to identify 8 welded boats and 5 riveted as having undergone reconstructions. My question is...

In 1949 a preliminary draft for a missile submarine designated Project P-2--to strike enemy land targets--was drawn up at TsKB-18 (later Rubin) under chief designer FA Kaverin. The submarine was to have a surface displacement of almost 5,400 tons and carry 12 R-1 ballastic missiles, a Soviet...

In the mid 1980s, the Soviet Navy determined that a new weapon system was needed to deal with the ever-increasing power of US Navy carrier battle groups. At the time, the Project 949 (Granit) and Project 949A (Antey), NATO reporting names Oscar I and Oscar II, nuclear-powered guided missile...

Images of a model from the US Navy concept formulation (CONFORM) submarine project from the late 1960s. CONFORM was a possible follow-on to the Permit (SSN 594) and Sturgeon (SSN 637) classes devised by Naval Sea Systems Command (NavSea) circa 1967-68. By November 1968, the initial CONFORM...

I posted this over in Army Projects yesterday but got no response, and it may belong more properly over here. I was wondering if anybody has ever seen any pictures of drawings of the Japanese "Submersible Guns" developed by the 10th Military Experimental Station in Murotsu in 1945 for coastal...

http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1395/MR1395.appb.pdf I just came across this study on what appears to be a handful of concepts that were looked at to replace the NR1. To my knowledge, none of these have been pursued. Adam

I've seen some rather impressive images of potential future US submarines including such designs as Renegade, Renegade 2 and Merrimack, evidently designed to make extensive use of UUV's and other advanced technology. U nfortunately, I haven't been able to find much more than images of them...

Nice collection of model photos from a visit to the Malakhit design bureau here: http://pilot.strizhi.info/2008/12/08/5941 Love the unbuilt Pr.958 SSN - thanks to a spherical bow sonar and a *massive* flank array immediately aft of the bow the torpedo tubes were not only angled in the manner...

Hi everybody I am searching more informations about the german Project "Ursel". It should be a anti-destroyer rocket for the XXI submarines ! This is the only drawing I have found http://www.whq-forum.de/invisionboard/lofiversion/index.php/t21854.html Sorry for this strange source ! Many...

Does anyone have any more info or even pictures of this mysterious sub? I'm assuming it had some kind of research role like the Project 1710 Beluga and it did see some service with the Black Sea Fleet during the late 1980s. Any info much appreciated.

Hi folks, At this year's DSEi Exhibition, BAE Systems had this advanced submarine concept on display - note the fully ducted propulsion (Sorry for the poor image quality - the photos were taken using my phone): Regards, Greg
