US Navy received a new submarine "Illinois"

In the US, the US Navy passed the ceremony of transferring the new nuclear submarine "Illinois" (USS Illinois), reports RIA News.

The ceremonial event was attended by the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.

“I am overwhelmed with pride that I became a part of this event,” - She said at a shipyard in Connecticut. Then she gave the command to commission a submarine.

The President’s wife recalled that the submarine “is capable of performing any task: from search and rescue operations to conducting scientific research.”

"Illinois" was the 13-m multi-purpose submarine of the type "Virginia" (side number SSN 786), in service with the US Navy. The length of the boat - 115 m, can be armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles.

The construction of the submarine took 5 years, its cost was $ 2,7 billion.

Look, the Pendos have foreseen everything for this "ceremony." Even I will adapt a special designed about which a bottle of shampoo is broken.

"Capable of performing any task: from search and rescue operations to conducting research."
The rich country of the USA. Built a submarine for 2,7 lard. Even if he could save Private Ryan, he could even see the ciliates on the bottom of the ocean.
And we have one dream-idea: to put "calibers" under the belly of the USA, that's how we are not humane.

Today we also have a "research vessel" off the slipway. "Varshavyanka" is called, research and rescue, but with military tasks. For the Black Sea Fleet.

[tinibar]

It reminded me of someone with a grenade ...

[Orazmukhamed]

What did you touch the woman? The main thing is that they lowered a boat of the type Virginia 13 in a row. And these are multipurpose boats of 4 generations, the best at the moment in the world. About 5 boats are still under construction, with another 8 ordered. Nuclear submarine Ash is also under construction about 5 units, an order for 7 boats. Well, count 7 Ash trees, against 26 Virginia type boats.

[kote119]

I agree with you completely, always surprise posts about a torpedo aboard, a mine under your belly, so that it doesn’t come up, etc., comrades, I respect you all, but we need to think in the state about getting off the slipways of our boats in the right amount, high quality, with well-trained crews. I congratulate all sailors and their ilk on the day of the formation of the Russian Navy.

[Orazmukhamed]

You just need to face the truth. The USA has made and is making the best nuclear boats. And throughout the second half of the 20th century, the USSR tried to approach the level of the United States. Remember who was called "roaring cows" there? (American submariners on Soviet boats). Whether we like it or not, the Americans have the best boats at the moment and there are many of them. And strategic Ohio boats, of which 13 pieces, are some of the quietest boats armed with the excellent solid-propellant Trident 2 missiles. Remember why the Sharks were built at all. All in order to accommodate solid-propellant D-19 missiles on them, the Americans did this much earlier, and fit 24 jokes in the Ohio corps. And now there will still be about 26 boats, which are at least as good as Ash. And what about the F-22, tell me when the PAK FA will be adopted? There is a glider, but are there engines for this aircraft? You see, patriotism is good, but our weapons are the best and have no analogues in the world. You do not need to belittle the weapons of other countries in order to look better.

[76SSSR]

Man, this is not about Kazakhstan! The fact that Kazakh missile carriers are inferior to the Virginias and Ohio is an indisputable fact.)

[Orazmukhamed]

And where is it?

[76SSSR]

And was it not about Kazakh submarines?) And what about? ... Hmm, well, you’re not a fool, I hope, and you won’t say that the Virginia is superior to the Russian Ash? ...

[Orazmukhamed]

Sarcasm counted. Nuclear submarine Ash this technology is new, the first boat is in trial operation. It takes time and more boats to make an unambiguous conclusion. I wrote that Virginia is at least no worse.

[kote119]

and you are so good at submarines to argue who is cooler than Virginia or Ash?

[Orazmukhamed]

I did not write that Virginia is better than Ash. The ash boat is new and, moreover, exists in a single copy, many technical characteristics are classified, and the remaining boats of the series are built according to the modernized version. But if it matches Virginia in its qualities, it will be just fine. The only thing that confuses this is a three-fold advantage in the number of boats. by 2020-2030. But an American in addition to the Russian Federation will need to oppose China, which may have a solid submarine fleet by then

[kote119]

I'm not writing about your post, but about 76 USSR

[Yak-3P]

no need to extol the enemy's weapons ... so far not a single solid fuel has surpassed the liquid one either in range or in load .. and in noise .. roaring cows may have been but a long time ago .. if you believe the pendos do not respect themselves. who surfaced in the 90s near LA?. who measured these decibels now ?? and why do we need 50 submarines .. to win who ?? and when 16 missiles carry more kilotons than 24, then the whole concept-strategist changes somewhat .. yes, and our volley flies out quickly .. we have documentary evidence of the "power" .. "Behemoth" to help you .. yes every day or through day we have something but somewhere flies and gets ... even into space

[Bayonet]

Quote: Yak-3P

Never underestimate the weapons of the enemy.

Quote: Yak-3P

and when 16 missiles carry more than kilotons than 24

The point is not the number of kilotons, but the number of targets hit.
The number of warheads for individual guidance of the Trident II missile is up to 8 W88 (475 kt) or up to 14 W76 (100 kt). So consider how many targets one submarine can cover. And 100 kilotons is enough for most cities!

[Orazmukhamed]

I agree that liquid-propellant missiles are superior to solid-propellant ones, but then why are the newest Russian missile carriers equipped not with liquid-propellant missiles, but with a solid-propellant Bulava? Safety and easier to maintain. The USSR and the Russian Federation have achieved outstanding success in the construction of liquid-propellant missiles. This is not disputed. In terms of noise level, USSR boats approached the United States only in the 80-90s, when they took it seriously. Operation Begemot 2 is a unique event, when the project 667 BDRM K-407 Novomoskovsk launched all 16 missiles from the underwater stark. "The boat shot like a machine gun," as they said. How "the whole concept-strategist changes somewhat" because everyone already understands that this will be the end of everything. And I would like to note not the weapon of the "enemy", but a potential enemy. As for "who surfaced in the 90s near LA," why did she even surface if she was not noticed? Demonstration. So you did not notice us, but we are here and your entire SOSUS system did not help you. I did not say that the boats of the USSR were bad, they were one of the best, but always in second place. While.

Quote: Orazmukhamed

Whether we want or not the Americans have the best boats at the moment and there are many of them.

A controversial statement, a different concept of application, our multi-purpose workers from titanium Barracudas to their steel counterparts Schuk-B relied on speed to accompany surface AUGs, etc., also to tear themselves away from their boats, and to move away from torpedoes at speed. And they bet on low noise. They had nothing of the kind and there is no mention of it. Anteys made it more cumbersome to increase the number of CDs, but lost in speed, so the Ash trees have a speed shape and a width of Pike, a slightly elongated case due to the PU KR. Also, Northwind is only lengthened due to PU ICBMs. Those. we have in Ashes and Boreas the evolution of our concept. Moreover, due to vortex flows during high-speed movement, noise increases, while designing the shape of the hull and add-ons, we also achieved low noise without loss of speed. In a nutshell, aviation is completely copied, they need to quietly sneak up unnoticed, like a stealth plane, but to the detriment of flight and speed qualities and try not to use radar in the active mode (sonar on boats). We need speed, maneuverability, body strength, long-range weapons and a powerful active locator.

[Orazmukhamed]

Are you seriously saying that low noise is not important for a boat? And this is for a submarine. Okay, project 661 Anchar K-222, the fastest boat in history that reached 44 knots. They say during the test the boat moved at such speed through the water column that it washed away all the paint. But for her, speed was a priority. But for multipurpose boats of project 971 "Pike-B" I fundamentally disagree. During the design and construction, huge steps were taken to reduce the noise of the boat, somewhere 3-4 times lower than that of the boats of project 671RTMK Pike. Indeed, the main objective of multi-purpose boats is not only the fight against multi-purpose boats of the type “Improved Los Angeles” or Virginia, but also tracking Ohio in the places of their patrol and preferably secretive (playing mouse cats), overcoming anti-submarine systems, and without such a component as low Noisiness is hard to achieve. In general, when moving 6-7 knots, Americans cannot detect Pike. And for strategic boats, the noise level is one of the most important characteristics, not speed. In general, survival depends on this. For example, take the project 667 BDRM Dolphin boats, what is their survival in the Arctic Ocean? In fact, for the boat, the main noise is i.e. the smaller it is, the better, and for missile carriers this is a determining factor. According to this indicator of the project 667 bdrm boat, he is also a Dolphin approaching the same Americans. Considering that to launch their missiles the missile carrier does not need to swim close to the US coast and can be launched from its territorial waters, where there is a powerful anti-submarine system, and also taking into account the low noise of modern missile carriers, which is equal to the background noise of the ocean, the destruction of these boats is very problematic. The range of detection by their atomic multipurpose submarines of the U.S. Navy at distances of not more than 30 km, provided that it is calm (8% of the time of the year), and the rest of the time no more than 10 km, and given that in the polar seas of the north there are extensive shallow areas in which the detection range Project 667-BDRM boats, even in full calm, are reduced to less than 10 thousand m (that is, almost absolute submarine survival is ensured). As for aviation, what you say is true for generation 4 ++ aircraft such as the Su 35. In fact, this is a 5 generation aircraft, but without stealth. PAK FA, on the other hand, is built according to all the canons that the F-22 is characteristic of 5th generation aircraft.

[hrych]

Quote: Orazmukhamed

Are you seriously saying that low noise is not important for a boat?

Of course not. This is very important and they are working on it, and successfully, but Barracuda at one time, when there was no Grenade, except for setting mines could only torpedo the enemy from a distance of a maximum of well 20 km, further the range of torpedoes did not allow. Plus you know that launching a torpedo again unmasks it. In fact, taking into account the enemy’s sonars, it was not possible to stealthily approach the distance of the shot, because in order to break through the defense and try to flee, we also needed speed and strength due to titanium, except for bends and the ability to go to depth, and as the last argument, a Flurry. And after all it is impossible, but if necessary, Anchar’s feat can be repeated and let it be done less, let the paint fly off, it’s not up to her. It is clear that the steel Pike-B already has less ability in terms of acceleration speed, immersion depth, etc., but the form itself is optimally selected for this. Virginia can be quick for a short time, although it hears, but neither Antei, nor Pike-B, nor Barracuda can catch up with, as well as escape from them, even if it is better to hear and is less noisy. And turn a bend or dive into the depths, ala Barracuda or repeat the feat of Anchar, it just falls apart.

Quote: kote119

the basis of their application is hunting for a placebo

Shchuki-B and Barakkuda have only torpedo tubes, before the appearance of the Grenade and its continuation, the Caliber was only armed with mine-torpedo weapons, i.e. it was necessary to get to the enemy for a torpedo shot, which is very close and in fact there is an entry into the active zone of the enemy’s PLO at 10 well 20 km. Antei already has PU for the Kyrgyz Republic, i.e. Granites became the main weapon with a range of hundreds of kilometers, and torpedoes became secondary weapons. Naturally, Antey lost the need for high-speed maneuvering, laying bends, deeper immersion (which the titaniums can withstand), and a huge amount of Granite launchers corresponds to the estimated amount of guaranteed destruction of AUGs, taking into account the majority of those shot down by the air defense system. Antei also needs speed in order to pursue the AUG, but he cannot lay the turns that Barakkuda is capable of, quickly accelerate, etc. He cannot, and he doesn’t need it. Now, thanks to the Caliber and the lack of the need to have huge launchers under 24 Granites, Shchukam also does not need to approach a torpedo shot, and the KR is being fired from the torpedo launcher, and Yaseni is already a hybrid of Antey and Shchuki, or rather slightly elongated under the Onyx launchers of Schuka-B.

[Orazmukhamed]

And why actually Pike swim up to the AUG? Of course, the boat is multipurpose, but its main task, as mentioned above, is to combat SSBNs and other multipurpose boats. Secret pursuit of these boats, in order to prevent the fulfillment of their combat mission. The game of cat and mouse, in fact, the term Crazy Ivan among Americans appeared as a result of such games. The fight against AUG was entrusted to the boats, which were developed specifically for this purpose, namely the boats of the project 949A Antey. "Ash is already a hybrid of Anthea and Shchuka, or rather slightly elongated under the PU Onyx Shchuka-B" I agree, most likely they did it in order to save money and not build two boats.

[hrych]

Quote: Orazmukhamed

as mentioned above, this is a fight against SSBNs and other multi-purpose boats.

So this is their concept. Ours is not, ours drove by other means, maybe even because they convinced that ours are noisier. How can a roaring cow find a ghost? Crazy Ivan - it was ours that we didn’t hear, but just in case did a maneuver. And against the AUG because there was no better means at a distance, so Tu22M3 with the X-22, but in the near zone. Because Antei on AUG is just imprisoned. Their 11 pieces and their problem had to be solved.

Quote: Orazmukhamed

I agree, most likely they did so to save money and not build two boats.

It was necessary to make a missile carrier until the enemy came to his senses, i.e. very quickly why did Pike and went into remaking, but believe me, two birds with one stone were really killed when the CD carrier - Ash and even the ICBM carrier - Borey, of course, became slower than Pike-B, but surpassed all their boats in speed.

[kote119]

boats are not planes to flutter, even titanium, their theme is stealth, surprise

[hrych]

Quote: kote119

At the moment, no longer, ours and their multi-purpose vehicles have become carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic, both anti-ship and against ground targets. It’s their concept that will attach itself to the tail of our submarine missile carrier when leaving the base by entering territorial waters. I think now they have significant problems with this, and Borey simply simply faster, they can not catch up with him. Northwind is also based on Pike-B, which means Barracuda, and simply inherited its compartments. By the way, Borey is the fastest carrier of ICBMs (many miss it) and only our Pike-Bs, from whom it came from, can catch it

[Finntroll]

"Virginia" is a very good and very modern boat (according to characteristics on paper, real performance characteristics are probably known only in the US Navy and the Pentagon). Shouting about the fact that our "Ash" for the same performance characteristics on the same paper is better .... thank you. Certainly, each boat has its own advantages and characteristics, determined by tactics, conditions of use and a bunch of different factors. Even if our "Ash" is the most inhabited, how many of them in metal plows the oceans? This time, secondly, I think not a single submariner will want (in peacetime, of course) a submariner, even a conditional enemy, will go to the bottom of the sea, because unlike you and I of the sofa generals, they know what is there and how. So I wish all warships to leave the fleets only because of the end of their service life.

[mr.redpartizan]

“Virginia” is worse than “Ash” in terms of performance characteristics, but the amers have an overwhelming numerical advantage. It is necessary to lay more boats of the 885 project to gradually improve the situation. The 971 project cannot fully fight against the 4th generation boats.

[Orazmukhamed]

Too expensive apparently. They wanted a series of 30 boats, but given the cost of the lead boat, they decided to limit themselves to 6-7.

In addition to standard weapons, Illinois also has equipment for special operations - uninhabited underwater vehicles, airlock for divers, a deck mount for a container or a very small submarine. There is no traditional periscope on the submarine. Instead, a multifunctional telescopic mast is used, on which a television camera is installed, transmitting an image on a screen in a central post via fiber-optic cable. Also on board there are antennas for electronic intelligence and communications, a laser sensor for infrared observation (used as a range finder). For the detection of mines uninhabited automatic devices with a battery life of up to 18 hours are used.
Specifications:
Speed ​​- 34 knots (62 km / h).

The thoughts of some visitors are simply astounding by their dullness, and cheer-patriotism rolls over half of the local guests. There is nothing funny in this news for us - the enemy received another powerful 4th generation submarine, not the last in the series. Russia has so far only one submarine hunter of the same level in service, five more are under construction. By the 20th year of ash-trees there will be 3 or 4 maximums, if construction does not face regular difficulties due to import substitution. The good news is that the situation with the construction of the 4th generation SSBN is much better here than with the Amers.
