Ultra VOGO Submarines

Founded in 1966 year, the South Korean company VOGO, famous for its patrol boats and diving equipment, has been producing subtle boats since 2005. In recent times, the company is also engaged in the development and production of ultra-small submarines. It is noteworthy that the company has just 21 people!

The exact number and models adopted by the South Korean naval fleet mini-submarines are not reported, which is not surprising, since their main user is special forces. All VOGO products are exported.

Mini-submarines are designed for carrying out secret operations in coastal waters, intelligence and sabotage activities. Among other products of the company, including dual-use products presented at the exhibition, were the submarine models SDV 340, ASDV 800, SDV 1000W and Midget 200.

SDV 300

Crew: 3 man, including two scuba divers
Length: 7.66 m
Case diameter: 0.8 m

Submerged cruising speed: 3.5 knot
Navigation range: 45 miles
Operating depth: 40 m (maximum 160 m)
Equipment: GPS, OAS, Depth Sensor, INS, DVL, Electronic Navigation Maps (S57 ENC)

SDV 340

The mini submarine SDV 340 has been in service with the South Korean Navy since 2005 and is the first such product of the company. Another five such devices are in service with the naval special forces brigade of the country (Naval Special Warfare Brigade). The crew is in the "dry" case of the boat.
Crew: 3 person
Length: 7.9 m
Navigation range: 45 miles
Speed: 3.5 node
Immersion depth: 40 m
Body: stainless steel
Direct electric drive
Lithium polymer batteries

SDV 1000W

The SDV 1000W combat swimmer transport was developed using some of the SDV 340 mini-sub systems. The autonomous breathing mixture support system allows combat swimmers to stay under water for up to three hours at a depth of up to 18 meters without the risk of decompression and oxygen poisoning. The crew itself, being in wet suits and engaging in breathing apparatus, comes into contact with the external environment (wet-type submarine). The purchases of SDV 1000W for the Navy of the Republic of Korea will begin next year.

Crew: 10 people
Length: 13 m
Cargo capacity: 1.5 tons
Navigation range: 25 miles underwater or 150 miles on the surface

quote: The crew is in the "wet" hull

interesting to get a transcript of this term

[Professor]

I confess I am sinful. I forgot how it is correctly called in spite of its main military specialty in past Soviet life.
The point is that the fighters are in a case filled with water and, accordingly, experience pressure according to the depth of immersion. Tell me how to call it right and I will fix it.

[mga04]

This is called a "wet-type submarine".

[gregor6549]

For example, I like the boats of the 865 Piranha project much more http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underboats of the project_865_ Piranha »
It's just a pity that they appeared when there was no one to evaluate them, except for the director of the film "Peculiarities of the National Hunt". But the boats were unique in their performance characteristics and could swim in such shallow water that others never dreamed of. Moreover, they had a very solid autonomy.

[Professor]

When the Piranhas Return?

[AK-47]

Mini-submarines are designed for covert operations in coastal waters, reconnaissance and sabotage activities.

During the Second World War, mini-submarines were used by Italy, Germany, England, Japan, the results of their use are more than modest.
Perhaps that is why they are now not widely used.
Here's how the Japanese Navy's mini-submarine base ended in 1945.

[Professor]

They had a lot of boats, but there was less use for them.

: The crew is in the "wet" hull

The crew directly, while in wetsuits and included in breathing apparatus, is in contact with the external environment.
On the equipment of the Soviet special forces there were also special helicopters manufactured from TA for one person. Designed by Kamovsky Design Bureau. Providing a landing in general, where it is, for conventional means is impossible in principle. And as an option in depth from the coastal strip.

[Professor]

Thank you, corrected.

Professor

thanks for clarification, just one more question as applied to
SDV 1000W this applies only to the landing party or to the entire crew

[Professor]

Everyone is wet there

[ICT]

I realized (just the look of her vip class and drove there, well, no matter how not in diving equipment)

[Professor]

So she does 35 knots on water and it is not always necessary to dive.

[Simple]

Good day to all.

[postman]

Their site is of course "peculiar"

This boat is not bad

They write on "stealth" technology: a fast attacking sabotage boat. Even the Hawna rocket launcher is supposed to be placed (if I understand everything correctly) ...

[Professor]

Take a look here too: Vogo

[Kir]

In the second picture, if you didn’t get a boat of this type called the Zodiac-board, the bottom is fiberglass bottom, and was first developed by someone from the Cousteau team, but with regards to the year of foundation, it cannot happen that there was either a reorganization or a change of ownership, otherwise shyness by years of foundation is difficult to explain well + 2years according to the old Korean tradition, when many children died before the year they began to add 2, I don’t know how much it helped, but it certainly was.
And to the professor the question is, what is this Lithium-Polymer battery? And in general, the first apparatus looks like a second World War II. I just don’t remember Germany or Italy.

You correctly noticed. The authors of this unit were guided by its creation by the Italian Cos.Mo.S.

Lithium polymer battery (Li-pol or Li-polymer) is a more advanced design of a lithium-ion battery. A polymer material with inclusions of a gel-like lithium-conductive filler is used as an electrolyte. Used in mobile phones, digital technology, etc.

PS
just liked the picture

I checked it in 1966, although the founding date of 1981 is on their website.
COMPANY HISTORY
VOGO ENGINEERING LTD. was established in 1966 as Woojungsa,
a mounting climbing equipment retailer in downtown Seoul, Korea.
In 1972, present owner and president Sungki Lim started the first
diveshop in Korea to promote scuba diving, then a very rare and
special sport.
In the '80s, diving market expanded together with our market
share Woojungsa further expanded market to commercial and
military diving, and registered at DPA, SAROK (Supply
Administration the Rep. of Korea) and various local military and
government procurement offices as a qualified supplier to be able
to participate in tender.
In 1986, Woojungsa started diving suit production line.
In 1997, we took the opportunity of our 25 year experience in
diving market, to develop military diving suits in cooperation with
DPA (Defense Procurement Agency) and DQAA (Defense Quality
Assurance Agency). Few more products were developed by ourselves
to be supplied to military divers through DPA and local
procurement offices.
Another business opportunity we have had was in 1995, to be
invited to participate in navy's rigid inflatable boat procurement
tender at DPA.
As there was no small specialized speed boats nor builders in Korea,
we not only tried our best to get the contract on RIB as Korean
agency of Delta Power Services in UK but also made technology
transfer agreement to be able to build in
Korea with the same company. Unlike most diving equipments,
customer required continuous service on boats.
In 1997 came the economic crisis giving every Korean hard
time but this was another opportunity for us.
As Korean won was devaluated suddenly almost to half, many of
foreign procurements were either canceled, postponed, or replaced
with possible local products.
Maritime Police who have been operating an imported 3ton alloy
vessel looked for local builder.
We made another technology transfer agreement with Sensation
Yachts Limited in New Zealand, and our people were sent to
Sensation for training.
We delivered 5 alloy patrol boat to Maritime Police in 1999 autumn.
Addition to the alloy boats, in 1999, we built 20 rigid
inflatable boat with totally enclosed wheelhouse for self-righting
purpose at patrol boat to Maritime Police, and 10 rigid inflatable
boat for navy.
In 2000, two more 3 ton patrol boats of max. speed 40 knots were
built and delivered.
Another accomplishment we made before the end of the
century was being certified IQ NET ISO-9002 on diving suit and RIB
building to improve quality of our products for better customer
satisfaction.
We were also acknowledged as Venture Company, by KangWon
Regional Office of Small & Medium Business Administration, a
Certified issued by government organization to acknowledge the
technology and to support small business firms doing good.
As our 3 ton police patrol boat introduced in major news
program several times, we felt the need to separate the boat and
diving business. Woojungsa was a familiar name in the diving industry
but not in the boat industry.
The boat division got a new name taken from our boat brand
name VOGO, meaning treasure-house in Korean language, based on
our belief that sea is our treasure-house since Woojungsa first
started.
In 2002, VOGO contacted 2 x swimmer delivery vehicles will be
operated for the ROK special forces. It will be delivered on Dec. 2003.
As Woojungsa was the first of the kind in the beginning, VOGO
ENGINEERING LTD. will keep up the reputation with challenging
spirit.

In the 1972 catalog (I stuck it)
in another 1966 for sure.
They themselves are confused, it seems

[crambol]

And here is another sample. He shot in Kiel (Germany) in 1967. She was dragged to sea trials from the shipyard. Pay attention to how diligently the workers close the side number and bow of the wheelhouse!
