In the US, adopted a new submarine class Virginia

52
The composition of the American military fleet Virginia-class USS Colorado new nuclear submarine introduced RIA News.



The solemn ceremony was held at the base in New London (Connecticut). The live broadcast was carried out in the “Twitter” of the US Navy.

It is reported that "USS Colorado was the 15 th multi-purpose nuclear torpedo submarine of the Virginia class, entered service with the US Navy."

The displacement of the boat is 7,8 thousand tons, length - about 115 meters, width - more than 10-meters. The submarine accelerates to 34 nodes in the submerged state.

The submarine is designed to "carry out anti-submarine and anti-ship operations, deliver special forces, conduct offensive operations, participate in irregular military operations, gather intelligence and carry out surveillance, as well as participate in mine operations," the report said.

Virginia class submarines are equipped with four torpedo tubes and 26 torpedoes. The crew of submarines ranges from 100 to 120 people.

          Virginia is a multi-purpose boat, primarily created to monitor the enemy, and of course to sink ships and other boats.

          You are right of course. But ICBMs are the last argument of the state, and multi-purpose boats are a tool for projecting force to solve the smaller tasks of the state ... So, I would like them too ... but there is not enough budget for everything ...

            What is the point of having such a huge fleet if you do not use it.
            There are no countries against which such a fleet is needed.

                Sanctions are just an example of how the United States cannot use its army.
                Sanctions are a sign of economic power, not military.
                Do you think that if the United States had conventional forces would be weaker, then Russia would attack the United States because of sanctions? )))
                Such defense spending, and such armed forces as in the US is absurd. In fact, the country is held hostage by the military-industrial complex.

                Russia, with much less expenditures and a smaller size of the Armed Forces, they are still considered one of the most powerful in the world. And these forces will be enough for any operations, similar to what the United States can carry out.

                Take the same US fleet. Against whom and when can they need such a fleet? Never! Against any country that is not a great power, this fleet is redundant. And they can only project power against non-great powers.

                It is still clear when the British Empire had a huge fleet. Then there was no nuclear weapon, and there was a high probability of collision with the great powers. Therefore, as an island state, they needed a large fleet. But now the situation is different, the huge fleet has lost its relevance.

        according to the results of 2017, which was not very successful for the Russian naval shipbuilding (the Navy received only two warships - the frigate Admiral Makarov and the perfect corvette), Russia avoided failure and even slightly improved its position compared to the previous year. during the same time, the US Navy received a new generation aircraft carrier Gerald Ford, two missile destroyers of the Arly Burke class, two multipurpose nuclear submarines of the Virginia class and three ships of the coastal zone of the LCS type. But two incidents in the US Pacific Fleet played in favor of Russia, as a result of which the Fitzgerald and John McCain destroyers were out of service for a long time.
        If we take into account the ships that are in trial operation, the ships and repair and reserve boats, auxiliary fleet vessels, we can speak of an almost equal list of parties; wherein The Russian Navy continues to yield less than a third in terms of combat potential to the US Navy.

    Virginia class submarines are equipped with four torpedo tubes and 26 torpedoes. The crew of submarines ranges from 100 to 120 people.

    In addition, it has on board two mines with a diameter of about 2,2 m with launchers of a revolver type, each of which has six Tomahawk BGM-109 cruise missiles.
    Virginia type submarines are fourth-generation multipurpose nuclear submarines. It is assumed that their construction will continue until 2043 - during this time it is planned to launch 48 nuclear-powered vessels that will replace Los Angeles-type submarines built from 1976 to 1996.

      All of you write correctly ... But I was puzzled by such messages of information as
      The submarine is intended for “carrying out anti-submarine and anti-ship operations, delivering special forces, conducting offensive operations, participating in irregular military operations, collecting intelligence and monitoring, and also participation in mine sweeping operations ”, the report said.
      It turns out that she’s going to scratch the water area ahead of her course in her active mine exploration (!) Mode, or what? Then what kind of secrecy can we talk about? For I didn’t hear about robots (UAVs) on board. Then, what about bottom mines? It seems to me, following the logic of the authors, one could still write that the submarine can participate in towing damaged NK / PL, because such a possibility also exists.
      Rђ RІRѕS, about the depth of immersion - not a word, oh low noise speed the move is also silent ...HOOK range NK / PL not a word ... Oh GPA and PTZ nothing is said. But this is a showcase of Western submarine building, after all, a fourth-generation boat! ...

          Unmanned automatic vehicles with battery life of up to 18 hours and high-resolution sonar are used to detect mines on Virginia-type submarines. The speed of these submarines is 34 node, maximum immersion depth - up to 488 m, crew - 100 – 120 people, surface displacement - 7800 m, length - 114,9 m, hull width - 10,5 m, power plant - atomic type GE S9G.
          In service with boats 4 torpedo tubes, 26 torpedoes; 12 vertical launchers for Tomahawk sea-based cruise missiles (2 vertical launchers for Tomahawk 6 cruise missiles).

      In fact, their pace of construction of nuclear submarines - 14 months (from bookmark to the start of sea trials) is simply amazing. Our shipbuilders have a lot to learn from their counterparts across the ocean. Not only do we build nuclear submarines for 4-5 years, but also the deadlines are constantly moving to the right. But it is precisely with multipurpose submarines in our fleet that is full of seams. I don’t even want to talk about technology (low noise, HACs and VNEU).

        They have different principles of construction, if I do not confuse. At the tab, they have already created all the electronics and the case is ready in parts. And here, under the tab, the beginning of work is meant. Correct if not so.

        Fantasy something! The first Virginia - 84 months were built ... Read this:
        The U.S. Navy has reduced the timing of the commissioning of submarines. According to the military, shipbuilders have already gained experience in building a new series of submarines. In the United States, they traditionally rely on the model of laying, building and putting into operation the fleet of submarines with a gradual reduction in terms and cost for each subsequent unit in the series. So, the construction period for the first four Virginia boats (Block I) was 84 months. For the next six (Block II) - already 74 months. For eight submarines under construction from Block III, an 66-month period is set. For the submarines of the final Block IV, it will be reduced to 62, and then to 60 months.

    Of course, there are a lot of boats in the USA, well, that's why they are a sea power.
    They have no other way but to adapt to
    that there are two oceans, plus some states, again in the middle of the ocean.
    And all this needs to be protected and defended if something happens.
    Well, they only have seafaring affairs, and we have railway transportation, aviation and maritime affairs.

    Damn, what a habit of comparing the incomparable. Well, I would understand if we would compare the cost and effectiveness of Ash and Virginia. But where does "Sarmat" have to be - you probably know only you.
    How much did they get ICBMs last year? Not a single one. Your logic is somehow non-standard. So, if in 8-10 years we complete rearmament with the Sarmatians and the Clubs, and the Americans only begin to put into service the new Trident E-6 and Minutmen-4, we can ask how many missiles are about us Russia received, while the USA, for example, received 2028 in 50. And it may turn out that we will have zero.

    And we need to envy. In relation to their military shipbuilding. We build a frigate as much as they are an aircraft carrier. And during the construction of our nuclear boat they manage to build 2 or 3. That's what you need to envy, and not turn everything into priorities.
    By the way, during the times of the USSR, up to 3 PGRK divisions were sometimes rearmament during a year, not counting hospitals. And this is at least almost 90 missiles for PGRK plus HZS for silos. Now we rearm 2-3 regiments a year, at best. So where are the priorities then ???

    Do you think it makes sense to build up the fleet only during the onset of conflicts? They did not ask a question, why there were no serious wars after the Second World War? Maybe because no one wanted to contact either the USA or the USSR precisely because of the size of their fleets and armies?

    Stanislav! Of course, I understand that you have nothing to do with this table, but allow me to correct your table a little in relation to our side (therefore, the numbers will be corrected in relation to us)

    So
    Nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles 12 (13)
    For 2017, were in service
    • 3 SSBNs of the Borey type
    • 6 SSBNs of project 667BDRM (in fact, specifically in 2017 there were 5 boats in service, because one was under repair, but since the Americans have the total number, even those who are under repair - leave the number 6)
    • 1 (maximum 2) boats of project 667BDR (boat K-223 "Podolsk" was decommissioned in 2016, boat K-433 "St. George the Victorious" in 2017. But since there is no data when exactly it was decommissioned, that's why I write the maximum 2)
    TOTAL SSBN 10 (maximum 11)

    Nuclear submarines with long-range cruise missiles 6 (9)
    To be honest, the most dubious of all that is. From 6 to 9. Long-range missiles are missiles with Caliber. How many boats are equipped with this missile system? With a guarantee only "Severodvinsk". All the others that are now with the Kyrgyz Republic are Antei with a range of about 400-600 km. They cannot be assigned to the "long" range. For the Americans, the number 4 of the boat corresponds to missile boats with the Tomahawk on board

    Atomic multipurpose submarines 6 (17)

    It is unfortunate that project 885 is not being built as fast. Seven Ashes against two dozen Virginia and three Sivulf - this is nothing! All “Loafs” and “Pikes” will be written off in ten years, and there will simply be nothing to replace them with. There is no hope for the rapid construction of the 5th generation Husky, so it would be nice to continue laying the Ash trees, rather than investing in the modernization of junk and the construction of diesel engines. One of the main problems of the Russian fleet is the huge variety of ship projects, which leads to a slowdown in the pace of construction and repair.

    1 Sarmat is cheaper. Much cheaper. It’s more efficient. Much more efficient.
    And by the way, last year 21 Yars rockets were received. Tell me, what is the pace of the United States in this area? Do we need to envy them or do they need us? Maybe everyone has different priorities?

    A Kalashnikov assault rifle is even cheaper ...
    Damn, what a habit of comparing the incomparable. Well, I would understand if we would compare the cost and effectiveness of Ash and Virginia. But where does "Sarmat" have to be - you probably know only you.
    How much did they get ICBMs last year? Not a single one. Your logic is somehow non-standard. So, if in 8-10 years we complete rearmament with the Sarmatians and the Clubs, and the Americans only begin to put into service the new Trident E-6 and Minutmen-4, we can ask how many missiles are about us Russia received, while the USA, for example, received 2028 in 50. And it may turn out that we will have zero.

    And we need to envy. In relation to their military shipbuilding. We build a frigate as much as they are an aircraft carrier. And during the construction of our nuclear boat they manage to build 2 or 3. That's what you need to envy, and not turn everything into priorities.
    By the way, during the times of the USSR, up to 3 PGRK divisions were sometimes rearmament during a year, not counting hospitals. And this is at least almost 90 missiles for PGRK plus HZS for silos. Now we rearm 2-3 regiments a year, at best. So where are the priorities then ???

    As for the ICBMs, you are right that none of the amers had a new one. Even in the last 30 years. The last ICBMs were made in the 70s. In the 20s of this century, the last of them expire, and many already on the way. Then we’ll see how they will make hundreds of missiles a year, which are not even in real plans. In comparison with the past 8 years, we’ve put more than a hundred Yars on the DB. We will have problems with the fleet. Until the Strategic Missile Forces 100 percent with new missiles. And then they will take up the fleet, do not hesitate. So do not need so pessimistic ki to look at the situation. We have an expanded threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. And believe me, in the event of a large-scale war, nothing will depend on the Supreme or the Minister of Defense, the rockets will fly. The stories about the children of officials abroad because of which the missiles did not come up were invented by people who did not have attitude to the army in general. Because people will enter access codes, on average, with the rank of major and lieutenant colonel, about fifty people have this right. They have no children abroad.

      why do the statesmen name their ships and boats in honor of the states, well, is there oklahoma colorado virginia?

      On 13 July 2012, the Fleet submitted to the US Congress a report on the 73 page, which outlined its policy and methods for choosing the names of ships to be included in its composition.
      The rules for naming the ships of the U.S. Navy, developed over time and changed in accordance with the development process of the Navy. But the Navy, all this time, tried to be systematic in the designation of its ships - certain types of names were assigned to certain types of ships.
      Torpedo submarines, for example, at first, were called like fish, later, like cities, and recently I call them the names of the states, while cruisers, at one time, were named after the cities, later - the states, and even later - the names of the battles . The names of the states were assigned to battleships, later cruisers with a nuclear power plant and submarines with ballistic missiles, and now they are called multipurpose submarines.
      The names of the US Navy ships are traditionally selected and announced by the Secretary of the Navy. But it was not always so.

    Here you are not quite right. Yes, it hasn’t left the US plants over the years NOT A NEW MINIMAN. But this does not mean that all deadlines have either expired or will expire in the near future. Since the beginning of the previous decade, they began and carried out a large-scale modernization program for their ground-based missiles. This is the so-called LEP program - a program to extend the life of weapons.
    They replaced everything on MINIMEN. Guidance and aiming systems, warheads, changed fuel, having carried out a large-scale operation, which no one could have done before. And it cannot now. With individual samples, by the way, we can also do this, but here we can’t replace whole-bonded charges with new ones - alas. They did it. where there were steel cases, they simply washed solid fuel charges and replaced them with new ones. Where this could not be done, the plastic enclosures simply carried out the replacement of these enclosures. These missiles are in arsenals, well, let's say, in the form of car kits, that is, in a disassembled state. And to take from the arsenal a new third step is not particularly difficult. According to the latest data, they have in their arsenals about 280 "machine sets" of MINIMENTS. So the warranty periods of operation have been extended for about 20 years, that is, almost until 2040
    As for the TRIDENTS, they regularly order them. I can say that in 2012-2012 fiscal years 24 TRIDENT was ordered under EMNIP. The older ones they shoot at exercises, the new ones gradually replace the oldest. The life of the TRIDENTS is somewhere until 2035. Over the next few years, they can elementary not only develop, but also test new missiles to replace TRIDENTS and MINIMENTS. So they will not have a hurry to replace. In the same way, the program also operates with respect to extending the life of their warheads ....

    For comparison, over the past 8 years, more than a hundred Yarsov have been put on the database.

    But at the same time they wrote off almost a hundred TOPOLES, 3 dozen "SOTOK" and two dozen VOEVOD. The speed of setting on the database is not comparable with the write-off rate. WE put into service the YARS mine regiment at best for the year
    We consider the PGRK regiment to be put on the database provided that the division and the PKP are deployed. As a result, we put the division into service in 2-3 years

    .
    We have problems with the fleet anyway, and not so much because the plant is single and provides about one ballistic missile launcher per year. Speed ​​in building new boats. Right now, at the beginning of 2018, the number of our missile carriers compared to the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 decreased by two boats. . In fact, now in the Pacific Ocean the fleet of our missile carriers has been reduced to THREE. And it is possible that by the end of the year it will be reduced to two at all. If we don’t build boat missiles now, we’ll find ourselves in a situation like with Dolgoruky, when the boat was already in operation, and there were no missiles on it. If we expect that we will 100% equip the Strategic Missile Forces with new missiles, this will be about 2026 (as the Commander-in-Chief of the Strategic Missile Forces about 100% of new missiles). As a result, we will have all the boats of the Borey class, of which there will be three combat ready, and for the rest there will be no missiles. No, this option is not suitable
