It is a nuclear-powered submarine equipped with ballistic missiles. Dmitry Donskoy, the first of the six submarines in the class, was commissioned in and is still in active service with the Russian Navy. Typhoon Class submarines have a length of m, a 23m beam and a 12m draught.
It is powered by two nuclear water reactors, two 50,hp steam turbines and four 3,KW turbogenerators. It can sail at a speed of Multiple pressure hulls make the Typhoon wider than any other submarine. Crew members can comfortably live aboard for as long as days. The submarine carries 20 RSM intercontinental three-stage solid propellant ballistic missiles capable of holding kt of nuclear warheads each. It is also equipped with six mm 21in torpedo tubes and type 53 torpedoes.
With a submerged displacement of 24,t, it is a nuclear-powered missile carrying submarine serving the strategic naval forces of Russia.
The m-long Borei Class has a Its power plant consists of an OK nuclear reactor, one steam turbine, and one shaft and propeller. It sails at a speed of 15kt on the surface and 29kt when submerged. The submerged endurance is dependent on the availability of food stores.
The armoury also includes six multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle warheads, six mm torpedo tubes and RPK-2 Viyuga cruise missiles. The Russian Navy currently operates four Oscar II submarines, while four more are being converted into the AM standard to integrate 3M54 Kalibr supersonic cruise missiles. The third-generation nuclear-powered submarines feature a double hull divided into ten major compartments.
Each m-long and 18m-wide boat has a submerged displacement of 24,t. The Project A submarines are armed with 24 P Granit anti-ship cruise missiles and six torpedo tubes while the AM submarines can carry 3M54 Kalibr supersonic cruise missiles. The Oscar II Class is powered by two pressurised water-cooled reactors and two steam turbines.
The propulsion system ensures a surface speed of 15kt and a maximum speed of 32kt when submerged. The US Navy operates 18 Ohio class nuclear-powered submarines, which are the biggest submarines ever built for the US. Each sub has a submerged displacement of 18,t. It was commissioned into service in November Jackson, which was named after a US senator. Each Ohio Class submarine has a length of m, a 13m beam and a The gliding speed on the surface is 12kt and underwater is 20kt.
To decrease the amount of time required for replenishment and maintenance, Ohio-class submarines have three large-diameter logistics hatches that allow sailors to rapidly transfer supply pallets, equipment replacement modules and machinery components thereby increasing their operational availability. The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls.
On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days in-port for maintenance. USS Henry M. The U. The demonstration, which took place in The flagship of the U.
