Chapter 1488 Akula Conventional Submarine

On the edge of the equator in the Indian Ocean to the north of Diego Garcia Island, in the calm waters, the slightly dazzling sunlight shines on the sea surface, and the light penetrates the sea water and goes straight into the clear seabed tens of meters deep.

And on the pitch-black seabed, a huge creature was swimming in the dark water, and beside it was a huge submarine, which was quietly parked on the seabed at a depth of 700 meters. mix together.

I don't know how long this submarine has been here. Some mottled microorganisms have adhered to the surface of the submarine's shell. Several deep-sea octopuses also regarded this motionless submarine as a rock on the seabed, and the suction cups grabbed it. Is in a deep sleep.

On the outside of the shell of the submarine conning tower, paint this white serial number - Seawolf-1.

This submarine with an elegant water drop shape is the Akula-class conventionally powered submarine currently the only ocean-going combat submarine of the Red Police Corps Navy.

Akula-class conventionally powered submarines: the main combat unit of the navy, conventional submarines powered by magnetic energy reactors, quasi-nuclear powered conventional submarines, capable of continuing to dive underwater for more than 50 days. It can not only stay away from the offshore patrol and guard, but also block the sea area, and can completely sink to the bottom. It can carry up to six long-gun mini-submarines, built-in special forces ocean-going combat rest compartment, and can carry heavy infantry armored compartment modules. There are simple entertainment places, sunbathing cabins, sauna rooms, and comprehensive bathrooms. With a silent system far below the background noise of the ocean, it is a veritable oceanic black hole. The super-titanium alloy double hull endows it with strong defense and survivability.

Construction price - 54 million base funds, construction to service time - three months. (Consume 600,000 per day)

Simple data: the water displacement is 6800 tons, the underwater displacement is 9100 tons, the normal underwater speed is 25 knots, the surface low-speed cruising distance is 15000 nautical miles, and the underwater diving distance is 8600 nautical miles. Six sets of comprehensive weapon launching devices can launch missiles and carry long-gun mini-submarines, six tubes of 533 torpedo launching devices, and the ship has a crew of 78 people, and can carry a maximum of 198 people.

Equipped with: active and passive sonar systems, high-frequency active lightning protection sonar, search and attack periscope system, radar interception system, intelligent auxiliary combat system, combat data link, electronic warfare system, holographic image capture augmented reality system...

Armament: Each set of comprehensive weapon launcher can carry one submarine-launched V-2FHM anti-aircraft carrier ballistic missile or three supersonic anti-ship missiles or supersonic cruise missiles, and each torpedo tube is equipped with three torpedoes.

Hull data: The Akula class adopts a good drop-shaped appearance, and the hull structure is a double hull. The inner layer is a pressure-resistant shell made of super titanium alloy mixed with carbon fiber. The super pressure-resistant hull can ensure that Akula is safe and sound on the seabed as deep as 720 meters. There are 9 pressure-resistant compartments from the bottom of the boat to the stern: torpedo weapon compartment, command compartment, missile launch compartment, front auxiliary engine compartment, super magnetic reactor compartment, rear auxiliary engine compartment, entertainment compartment, living compartment and tail compartment.

Each cabin is designed in strict accordance with the unsinkability standard, which strengthens the anti-sinkability of the whole boat. Usually one to two cabins are flooded, and it can still perform combat missions, and three to four cabins are flooded, and the submarine can also float for several hours at sea for the crew to escape.

Upgrade: This ship can already be called the pinnacle of conventional submarines.

...

A conventional submarine with an underwater displacement of nearly 10,000 tons is the only one in the world. The world's largest underwater conventional submarine is the Japanese Soryu-class submarine, and its underwater displacement is only about 4,000 tons.

A conventional submarine reaching 9,000 tons is much larger than many nuclear-powered attack submarines in the world.

The most powerful part of the Akula class is not its tonnage, but the power system that provides all energy for such a huge tonnage.

The magnetic energy reactor serves as the power supply and power generation requirements of the entire submarine, pushing the performance of this type of conventionally powered submarine to the edge almost close to the performance of nuclear-powered submarines.

Moreover, compared with nuclear-powered submarines, Akula submarines have two huge advantages. One is that they do not need to add any nuclear fuel and will not cause any pollution. Another huge benefit is the ability to completely ban non-stop sitting and sinking on the bottom of the ocean.

It is impossible for a nuclear-powered submarine to sit completely still and sink on the seabed. The nuclear-powered reactor needs to continue to operate in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the nuclear-powered submarine. Once the nuclear reactor is shut down, it will take a while for the nuclear submarine to start up again. From this point On the surface, nuclear submarines are no longer able to carry out the tactics of sitting and sinking on the seabed.

The submarine-sinking tactic of conventional submarines is one of its greatest advantages. Unless the submarine is detecting the earth's magnetic field environment, it is absolutely impossible to detect it by sonar alone.

Because a submarine sitting on the bottom of the sea will not make even a single cent of submarine noise, it is impossible for sonar to detect it.

And this Sea Wolf No. 1 has been sitting and sinking in this place for a month and a half. Since arriving here, it has never moved again. Only the magnetic energy reactor is running at the slowest speed to provide the necessary power supply for the interior of the ship.

For the officers and soldiers in the submarine, it is very difficult to stay in such a closed environment every day. Modern submarines are more humanized and have many humanized designs.

As for the Akula-class submarine, one of the biggest features is the fully humanized internal shooting.

In fact, if the Akula submarine is placed in other countries, the tonnage can be reduced to 7,000 tons while maintaining the same combat effectiveness. The extra 2,000 tons will greatly increase the construction cost, but the extra submarine The two thousand tons of displacement are all entertainment and living facilities for the crew on board.

Rich entertainment facilities, and even a solarium, can allow soldiers in the submarine to enjoy the sun in a long-term underwater environment.

The bathhouse in the submarine can also relieve the fatigue of the body and mind of all the crew members. The interior of the submarine is luxurious and extremely decorated.

This design is not to say that the Red Police Corps like to enjoy it, but to fully ensure that all submarine officers and soldiers can maintain a stable mood when they are underwater for a long time, not to be anxious, and to have a place to relax.

If it was placed in the Cold War, such a design would not have been possible at all, but for modern submarines, when almost every country designs submarines, the limited consideration is the comfort of the crew, because only soldiers are the combat effectiveness of submarines. Guaranteed, being in an underwater high-pressure environment all day, depressing every day will cause a huge psychological burden on soldiers.

Only when the relationship between submarines and soldiers is well balanced can the true combat effectiveness of submarines be brought into play.
