Underwater enemy. Submarine type "Los Angeles"


History atomic killers of the Los Angeles type began in 1906, when a family of emigrants from the Russian Empire - Abraham, Rachel and their six-year-old son Haim, entered the Immigration Service hall of Ellis Island (New Jersey). The male was not a miss - when he grew up, he entered the Naval Academy and became a four-star admiral of the US Navy. Total Hyman Rickover served on navy 63 years old and would still serve if I didn’t fall for receiving a bribe of 67 thousand dollars (Rickover himself unlocked to the end, claiming that this “nonsense” had no effect on his decisions).

In 1979, after a major accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, Hyman Ricover, as an expert, was called to Congress to testify. The question sounded prosaic: “One hundred US Navy nuclear submarines are moving in the depths of the oceans - and not a single accident with the reactor core in 20 years. And here a new nuclear power plant standing on the shore collapsed. Maybe Admiral Rickover knows some magic word? ”

The answer of the aged admiral was simple: there are no secrets, you just need to work with people. Personally communicate with each specialist, immediately remove fools from work with the reactor and expel them from the fleet. To all high ranks who for some reason interfere with preparing personnel in accordance with these principles and sabotaging the fulfillment of my instructions, declare a merciless war and also expel them from the fleet. Ruthlessly "gnaw" contractors and engineers. Safety and reliability - these are the main areas of work, otherwise even the most powerful and modern submarines will be burnt with bundles in peacetime.

The principles of Admiral Rickover (safety and reliability above all) formed the basis of the Los Angeles project - the most numerous series in the history of the nuclear submarine fleet, consisting of 62 multipurpose nuclear submarines. The purpose of "Los Angeles" (or "Moose" - the nickname of the boats in the Soviet fleet) - the fight against surface ships and submarines of the enemy, covering aircraft carrier groups and areas of deployment of strategic submarine rocket carriers. Covert mining, intelligence, special operations.

If we take only table characteristics for the basis: “speed”, “depth of immersion”, “number of torpedo tubes”, then against the background of domestic “Typhoons”, “Anteyev” and “Schuk”, “Los Angeles” looks like a mediocre trough. A single-body steel coffin, divided into three sections - any hole will be fatal for him. For comparison, the robust hull of the domestic multi-purpose submarine of the 971 Ave. Pike-B is divided into six sealed compartments. And the giant rocket carrier of the 941 Shark project has 19 at all!

Only four torpedo tubes located at an angle to the median plane of the hull. As a result, the "Elk" can not shoot at full speed - otherwise the torpedo will simply be broken by the oncoming flow of water. For comparison, "Pike-B" has 8 nasal TA and is able to apply its weapon over the entire range of working depths and speeds.
The working depth of the Los Angeles dive is just 250 meters. A quarter of a kilometer - is this really not enough? For comparison, the working depth of the “Pike-B” is 500 meters, the maximum depth is 600!

The speed of the boat. Surprisingly, here at the American everything is not so bad - in the submerged position “Elk” is able to accelerate to 35 nodes. The result is more than worthy, only six knots less than the incredible Soviet "Lyra" (705 project). And this is without the use of titanium housings and terrible reactors with metal coolants!

On the other hand, a high maximum speed has never been the most important parameter of a submarine — on the 25 nodes, the boat’s acoustics no longer hear anything because of the noise of the incoming water and the submarine becomes “deaf”, and on the 30 nodes the boat rumbles so that heard at the other end of the ocean. High speed is a useful, but not too important quality.

The main weapon of any submarine is stealth. This parameter contains the entire meaning of the existence of the submarine fleet. Stealth is determined primarily by the level of submarine's own noise. The noise level of Los Angeles-class submarines has not just met world standards. The Los Angeles submarine itself set world standards.
There were several reasons for the extremely low noise of the Elks:

- single body design. The area of ​​the wetted surface decreased, and, as a result, the noise from friction against water when the boat was moving.

- quality of manufacture of screws. By the way, the quality of manufacture of propellers of the third-generation Soviet nuclear submarines also increased (and their noise level decreased) after a detective story with the purchase of high-precision metal-cutting machines from Toshiba. Having learned about a secret deal between the USSR and Japan, America threw such a scandal that poor Toshiba almost lost access to the American market. Late! On the expanses of the oceans already out "Pike-B" with new screws.

- Some specific points, such as the rational placement of equipment inside the boat, the depreciation of turbines and power equipment. The contours of the reactor have a greater degree of natural circulation of the coolant - this made it possible to abandon pumps of high productivity, and, consequently, reduce the noise of "Los Angeles".

It is not enough for a submarine to be fast and secretive - to successfully complete tasks it is necessary to have a concrete understanding of the environment, to learn to navigate in the water column, to find and identify surface and underwater targets. For a long time, the only means of external detection were a periscope and sonar post with an analyzer in the form of a sailor's ear-acoustics. Well, still a gyrocompass, showing where the North is under this damn water.

Los Angeles is much more interesting. American engineers played all in - all equipment was dismantled from the bow of the boat, including torpedo tubes. As a result, the spherical antenna of the AN / BQS-13 hydroacoustic station with a diameter of 4,6 meter occupies the entire nose of the case. Also, the submarine hydroacoustic complex includes a side-view conformal antenna consisting of 102 hydrophones, an active high-frequency sonar for detecting natural obstacles (underwater rocks, ice fields on the surface of the water, mines, etc.), as well as two towed passive antennas of length 790 and 930 meters (taking into account the length of the cable).

Other means of collecting information include: an instrument for measuring the speed of sound at different depths (an absolutely necessary means for accurately determining the distance to a target), AN / BPS-15 radar and AN / WLR-9 electronic reconnaissance system (for working on the surface), periscope general overview (type 8) and periscope attacks (type 15).
However, no cool sensors and sonars helped the San Francisco submarine - 8 January 2005, the boat going on 30 nodes (≈ 55 km / h) crashed into an underwater cliff. One sailor died, another 23 was injured, and a smart antenna in the bow was broken to pieces.

USS San Francisco (SSN-711) after colliding with an underwater obstacle

The weakness of the Los Angeles torpedo armament is to some extent compensated by a wide range of ammunition — all aboard the 26 remote-controlled torpedoes Mk.48 (533 caliber mm, ≈ 1600 kg), anti-ship missiles SUB-Harpoon, anti-submarine rocket sheds-hingedboard, Sent-missile pedal Sted-pedal Sted-Apedactors, SARD-Squeezed Chart SPS, S-Garpun missiles, anti-ship missiles, SDP-Garpun, anti-submarine missiles, Sed-pedal Sted-pedal Sted-Apedactors, Sent-Ghats, anti-ship missiles, SDP-Garpun, anti-submarine rocket sheds-hingedboard, Sent-rocket sheds, and all anti-ship missiles. Tomahawk and Captor smart mines.

To increase combat effectiveness, in the bow of each Los Angeles, starting with 32, boats began to install 12 vertical launch shafts for storing and launching Tomahawks. In addition, part of the submarines are equipped with a Dry Deck Shelter container for storing equipment for combat swimmers.
The modernization was carried out not “for show”, but on the basis of real combat experience - “Los Angeles” is regularly involved in attacking coastal targets. Blood “elks” are on the horns - in the lists of destroyed targets Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya ...

USS Greeneville (SSN-772) with Dry Deck Shelter fixed on its body

The latest 23 boats were built according to the redesigned Los Angeles Improved Project. Submarines of this type were specially adapted for operations in high latitudes under the ice dome of the Arctic. The boats have removed the rudder steering wheels, replacing them with retractable rudders in the bow. Screw was enclosed in a profiled annular nozzle, which further reduced the noise level. The electronic "stuffing" of the boat has undergone a partial modernization.
The last boat in the Los Angeles series, called the Cheyenne, was built in 1996 year. At that time, when the last boats of the series were completed, the first 17 units, having served a fixed period, were already sent for scrapping. “Elks” still form the basis of the US submarine fleet, 2013 submarines of this type are still in the ranks of the 42 for a year.

Returning to our initial conversation - what did the Americans do after all — a tin-shaped tin pot with lowered characteristics or a highly efficient underwater combat complex?

Purely from the point of view of reliability, Los Angeles has set a record that nobody has yet broken - over the 37 years of active operation on this type of 62 boats, no serious accidents were recorded with core damage to the reactor. Traditions of Hyman Rickover are still alive.

As for the combat characteristics, the creators of the "Moose" can be a little praise. The Americans managed to build a generally successful ship with an emphasis on the most important characteristics (stealth and means of detection). The boat was undoubtedly the best in the world in the 1976 year, but by the middle of the 1980-x, with the appearance of the first 971 “Schuka-B” 3 multi-purpose submarine of the USSR Navy, the American submarine fleet again found itself in the “catch-up” position. Realizing some of the inferiority of the “Elk” in front of the “Shchuka-B”, the development of the project “SeaWolf” began in the States - a formidable submarine cruiser at a price of $ XNUMX billion dollars apiece (the construction of three “SeaWolfs” was mastered).

In general, a conversation about Los Angeles-type boats is not so much a conversation about technology, as a conversation about the crews of these submarines. Man is the measure of everything. Thanks to the training and thorough maintenance of equipment, the American sailors managed in 37 years not to lose a single boat of this type.

Post scriptum. In April, 1984, a retired Admiral Hyman Rickover, received a cool present for his 84 anniversary - a Los Angeles-type 7000-ton battle submarine named after him.

    Interesting was the uncle. He received from the president a full carte blanche for everything that is being done on the subfloor, with a report personally to the president. Personally picked up shots from their lieutenants. He sent all those who got into his business to their American ......... And when they went to the president on his questions, he asked, saying that Rickover said, having heard the answer, answered saying he said so what can I do. What a level it was! Could topple over only the little things. And still the monument was erected to its full small stature.

        Well, it’s not for nothing that a small remark is allowed.
        Purely from the point of view of reliability, the Los Angeles have so far set an unbeaten record - for 37 years of active operation on 62 boats of this type there has not been a single serious accident with damage to the reactor core.
        Our fleet took all the losses at the suggestion of "sworn friends".
        Extreme example Kursk.
        On January 8, 2005, a boat traveling at 30 knots (≈55 km / h) crashed into an underwater rock. One sailor died, another 23 injured
        55 km / h = 15,2 m / s, gravity is almost 10 m / s. and can reach 40 m / s belay
        Even the scrap after a vertical drop from 15 meters is slightly bent.
        And here is the pipe with partitions !!!
        The coolest scimitar was to curl up and tore off half of the mechanisms from the foundations. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oleg Kaptsov created the desired precedent. To this day, along with the official designation and name of our weapons, the so-called NATO (American) designation and name have not been applied in our country. And Oleg gives OUR name of their submarine. Such Russian names are probably SEA, but a wide circle of them knows nothing about them ...
    There was such a bike about the Los Angeles nuclear submarine that the amers INTENTIONALLY allowed our two scouts to "steal" ALL the production documentation for its construction. In terms of volume, this is with the Pullman railway. The calculation was based on the fact that the Russians rushing to copy this time too, wasted money and time. Will remain at the broken trough. the Yankees were soon expecting a very unpleasant surprise ...

    These words I liked. What we are missing now The answer of the elderly admiral was simple: there are no secrets, you just need to work with people. Personally communicate with each specialist, immediately remove fools from working with the reactor and expel them from the fleet. All high-ranking officials who, for whatever reason, interfere with the training of personnel in accordance with these principles and sabotage the implementation of my instructions, declare a merciless war and also expel them from the fleet.

    The author of the article plus for a fairly objective analysis of one of the main weapon systems of the "foe". Of course, one can giggle at the accident of the "moose", but this rather speaks about the level of training of the commander and crew than about the combat and technical qualities of the boat.
    The USSR also had its own "Swedish Komsomolets, that is, a boat landed on the stones at the very entrance to one of the Swedish skerries through the fault of the navigator (which turned out to be a big international scandal for the USSR). If we talk about the boat as a weapon system, then It has a lot of positive qualities: low noise and, therefore, secrecy (which was the Achilles heel of many Soviet nuclear submarines) and the highest reliability and a wide range of weapons and electronic systems, and, which is very important, radiation safety. amers "there was and is a lot to learn in terms of the design and construction of nuclear submarines.

    The author, can the studio link to this outrage from Rickover?

    "... A single-body steel coffin, divided into three compartments - any hole will be fatal for it."

    Well, yes, and the light body saves from holes, yeah. Just a kind of "self-tightening" tank

    "... As a result," Elk "cannot shoot at full speed ..."

    and who is shooting at full speed?

    "... However, no cool sensors and sonars helped the San Francisco submarine - on January 8, 2005, a boat sailing at 30 knots (≈55 km / h) crashed into an underwater rock."

    And what kind of "cool" sensors are these that inform the submarine of the underwater environment besides the active sonar path? the submarine, in order to receive a constantly complete underwater environment, must constantly keep this path on, which negates the submarine's stealth. "Encounters" with underwater objects, touching the ground are not uncommon in any fleet. By the way, if at a speed of 30 knots, after meeting with an underwater rock, the American woman survived, then how can you say that any hole would be fatal for her without a light hull?

    Only four torpedo tubes located at an angle to the diametrical plane of the hull.

    And why is it suddenly on the "Severodvinsk" suddenly also placed the TA at an angle in the center plane? And so what if there are only four devices?

    As a result, the "Elk" can’t shoot at full speed - otherwise the torpedo simply breaks the oncoming flow of water.

    Nonsense! It can very well. By the way, according to your logic, in the same way, the "oncoming water flow" will not allow the torpedo to exit from the bow TA of any "Shchuk", "Anteyev" and "Typhoons" laughing

    The working depth of the Los Angeles dive is just 250 meters. A quarter of a kilometer - is this really not enough? For comparison, the working depth of the “Pike-B” is 500 meters, the maximum depth is 600!

    The working depth of the Los Angeles dive is 300 m, the maximum depth is 450 m. But it is not the immense depths of immersion, and not the high speeds that distinguish the perfection of submarines, but its stealth. But according to this characteristic, American submarines are out of competition.

    The main weapon of any submarine is stealth. This parameter contains the entire meaning of the existence of the submarine fleet. Stealth is determined primarily by the level of submarine's own noise. The noise level of Los Angeles-class submarines has not just met world standards. The Los Angeles submarine itself set world standards.

    Well, finally, a sober assessment has appeared.

    the manufacturing quality of third-generation Soviet submarines screws also increased (and their noise level decreased) after a detective story with the purchase of Toshiba high-precision metal-cutting machines. Upon learning of a secret deal between the USSR and Japan, America threw such a scandal that poor Toshiba almost lost access to the US market. Late! On the open spaces of the oceans "Pike-B" with new screws.

    Yeah, that means, if it were not for the desire of the Japanese bourgeoisie to earn an extra couple of millions, then the latest Russian boats would still go with antediluvian propellers and gnash them across the ocean! Glory to the bourgeois greed! Wanting to earn more dough, they will sell their executioner and an ax, and a rope with soap!

    At Los Angeles, everything is much more interesting. American engineers played all-in - from the bow of the boat dismantled all the equipment, including torpedo tubes.

    This was done long before the appearance of "salmon" - these were boats of the "Thresher" and "Sturgeon" type (by the way, they just could not shoot at full speed, but why is this necessary? knots, the boat itself becomes deaf.), it is starting with them on all subsequent US boats, and after them the British, and now Russian (project 25) TA are located in the belly.

          Don’t rumble. Sevets machine tool industry was always ahead. I tell you this, as a specialist, since I served the electronics of CNC machines before the collapse of the USSR. And there were such machining centers that adversaries even now have not reached that level. Here is a small stick of one of them:
          - case - granite (yes, granite stone);
          - 4 spindle - 96 thousand rpm (air bearings with magnetic fluid);
          - linear coordinate hovercraft engines (essentially an electric motor deployed in a line - flat, not round)
          - almost silent;
          - processing tools - quartz glass;
          - machining accuracy 0,001 mm
          etc.

          Now one thing is bad, is that all machine tool building once worked in cooperation with the now sovereign states, but this is slowly catching up.

      Nonsense! It can very well. By the way, according to your logic, in the same way, the "oncoming stream of water" will not allow the torpedo to leave the bow TA of any "Pike", "Anteev" and "Typhoons"

      The point is not that the incoming flow will not allow the torpedo to exit, but that when firing at an angle at medium and high speeds, the torpedo will skew. The Russian (Soviet submarines) torpedo is informed of the initial speed by compressed air in order to compensate for the incoming flow. The likelihood of a skew when shooting along the axis of the diametrical plane is minimal. But in any case, shooting is carried out at low speeds of the submarine.

    no cool sensors and sonars helped the San Francisco submarine - on January 8, 2005, a boat traveling at 30 knots (≈55 km / h) crashed into an underwater rock. One sailor died, another 23 were injured, and the chic antenna in the bow was smashed to smithereens.

    Everything was much more prosaic.

    The crew of the American submarine San Francisco, which crashed on January 8 this year, could prevent a collision with an underwater rock, as a result of which the submarine itself was seriously damaged, one crew member was killed and about a hundred were injured. This conclusion is contained in a 124-page report of the US Navy Commission, which was investigating the circumstances of the accident that occurred while the submarine was traveling from a base on the island of Guam to Australia.

    According to experts,the crew did not pay due attention to the readings of the navigation equipment, which fixed an underwater obstacle on the way of the San Francisco with the prescribed lead. "Even if the collision was inevitable, the damage from it could be much less. Not to mention the possibility of avoiding the death of a sailor," the report says.

    Recall that the accident occurred on January 8, 2005, about 350 miles south of the island of Guam. Submarine "San Francisco" crashed into an underwater rock, which was not mapped. At that moment, the submarine, on board of which there were 137 people, was moving in underwater position at a speed of 30 knots (56 kilometers per hour).

    The San Francisco nuclear reactor, engine room, and ammunition were not damaged as a result of the collision. After the accident, the submarine was able to surface and two days later reached the base on its own.

    Submarine commander Kevin Mooney was subsequently removed from command. Another six crew members were subject to disciplinary action.


    As you see negligence, this is a national trait not only of Russians. Here it is not the crew’s attentiveness, nor the fleet’s command puncture that did not provide the ship with new, updated maps.
    But the location of the huge ASE in the bow of the boat saved the entire crew from the death of the boat along with the boat itself - it worked like a powerful buffer, like a safety cushion. But if such an incident would have occurred with any boat of the Soviet project, then here with a high degree of probability torpedoes could have exploded if they were in the vehicles, and the TA itself would have fallen from their places and then the guaranteed flooding of the 1st compartment.

    Weakness of torpedo weapons "Los Angeles"

    What!? Weakness of torpedo armament !? Do not make me laugh! On Russian boats, torpedo ammunition ranges from 22 to 36 combat carcasses, so 26 torpedoes are not weak, and plus 12 Tomahawk missile launchers for Imruved Los Angeles, and the armament of Russian boats will already be "weak".
    By the way, about the number of TA. If there are 8 of them on Russian projects, and only four on American ones, this does not mean that "ours are better!" Rather, on the contrary - the fewer holes in a solid case, the better for the strength of the case itself, IMHO of course.

    In general, the article seems to be not bad, but it is also not without flaws, so I don't put "+" or "-".

    =======================================

    Description of the submarines of the 971th project, given by a prominent American naval analyst N. Polmar at a hearing in the National Security Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress:

    "The appearance of D / sh / a type submarines, as well as other Russian 3rd generation nuclear submarines, demonstrated that Soviet shipbuilders closed the noise gap faster than expected.".

    According to representatives of the U.S. Navy, at operational speeds of the order of 5-7 knots. the noise level of Improved Akula type boats recorded by sonar reconnaissance was less than the noise level of the most advanced US Navy type Improved Los-Angelos submarines.
    According to Admiral D. Burd, Chief of Operations, US Navy: American ships were unable to accompany the Improved Akula nuclear submarines at speeds of less than 6-9 knots (contact with the new Russian boat took place in the spring of 1995 off the east coast of the United States).
    According to the admiral, the advanced Akula-2 nuclear submarine meets the requirements for 4th generation boats in terms of low-noise characteristics.
    The appearance after the end of the Cold War in the Russian fleet of new super-hidden nuclear-powered ships has caused serious concern in the United States. In 1991, this issue was raised in Congress..

    Greenpeace, an international non-governmental environmental organization, has also joined the campaign against Russian submarine building, which has actively advocated the prohibition of nuclear powered submarines. (first of all, of course, Russian, representing, in the opinion of the "green", the greatest environmental hazard).
    In order to "exclude nuclear catastrophes", Greenpeace recommended to the governments of Western countries to put the provision of financial assistance to Russia depending on the solution of this issue.

          Deck decks are not of equal strength to inter-compartment bulkheads, with the seeming nonsense of this there is a sense. When seawater enters the compartment, it is prescribed to float to the surface position, or to a safe depth. At a safe depth, robust decks hold the outboard pressure, if necessary, they can be further reinforced by creating back pressure. If you make deck floorings equal to the bulkheads, then this will lead to an increase in the mass of the structure due to the flooring itself, complicating the construction of the presence due to strong interdeck nozzles for pipelines and glands for cable routes. You also need to imagine how bulky the hatch covers will turn out and how "convenient and safe" it will be to open and close them, even if there are damping devices on them. And you will need to walk often. Inspection of the compartment 1 time in 30 minutes has not been canceled.

    Similar reports at hearings in Congress are made about one goal - to increase the cost of new developments and, of course, the purchase of new weapons. So it’s not surprising that the Americans often “recognize” the superiority of Russian weapons over their own.

    By the way, I have one more consideration for our and their boats: the buoyancy margin in the US is 12-15%, in the Russian 35-45% - this can be seen in the difference between underwater and surface displacement. It would seem: the greater the stock of buoyancy, the better. However, it seems to me that the opposite is true: - with a smaller margin of buoyancy during emergency ascent from ballast tanks, water is displaced much faster, since it is simply less in them. Yes, and emergency immersion, if this happens in modern conditions, also happens faster.

      On double-hull submarines there is a so-called. "positional position" when the CHBs of the bow and stern groups are filled, and the middle one is drained. This position allows you to dive much faster. Emergency ascent is provided mainly by the speed and lift generated on the submarine hull when the trim is changed. A larger buoyancy margin, in theory, allows, upon receipt of damage to the spacecraft, to surface and keep afloat a ship with a flooded compartment and two adjacent CHBs from one side.

This document has developed recommendations for the actions of the crew in combat and emergency situations, organizational and technical measures have been developed to combat failures of technical equipment and accidents, including weapons accidents, nuclear accidents, fires, seawater inflows, and others.

      You don't need to be complex. The political officer in our unit was "his own in the board". It's just that many of your colleagues were not popular in parts. On a submarine, such a person will not serve for a long time - they will write off to the political department of the fleet.

    What Americans really need to learn from them is the literacy of their submarines. There is a floating crew and a technical crew. The difference is approximately the same as when servicing your car yourself and at the company service station. Hence the majority of the problems of domestic nuclear submarines.

    By the way, the data on the working depths of the immersion of the Americans are frank show-offs. In real life, deeper than 100 m, they fucking when they pop

        But should it be deeper?

        If across the Atlantic, then not necessarily. But if, where we went, then 200 m will not always be a guarantee that you will not run into an iceberg. The guys from our flotilla once ran into 214 m ... Again, the "jump layer" usually passes in these latitudes below 100 m depth. So 200 m was the standard diving depth. Well, we will leave the fairy tales about "hanging without a move" to writers and journalists. It is possible to trim, not a question, only any movement (including a fighter from bow to stern (or vice versa) will knock down the trim settings. Therefore, without extreme of necessity, no one ever "freezes". Trim so that the boat is a little "light", give a couple of degrees of trim to the bow to compensate for spontaneous ascent. Then, in case of an emergency loss of progress, the submarine will not fail, but float. Well, blowing ballast at the working depth is stupidity and wasted consumption of the VVD stock (which will then need to be replenished by the long-term operation of the compressors (which also does not add stealth). Therefore, not for show-off, but in real life, everyone pops up by running, trim and rudders, but are blown out in the above-water position, while the VVD consumption is several times less.

        As for the ascent in the ice - also more show off for the press. Not with their tin cases under the ice to meddle lol . The photo above is not ice, ice starts from a meter lol BDRM could break the hull when surfacing up to 5 m, the American with such an attempt to flatten the cabin request

                Arrange subversions, and then look for the resulting wormwood is unreasonable. Finding a wormwood, even made with the help of a blast, is extremely difficult. The boat is not a car (pulled away, blew up, pulled up). It is also necessary to take into account the ice drift factor and the presence of underwater currents. It is also worth remembering that you have to work almost blindly, although there are several cameras on the hull pointing up. And here also with an explosion to attract the enemy.

The distillation of water between the different ones, though quieter, also gives quite characteristic noises. So, unless absolutely necessary (system check, etc.) no one does this.

              On single-shaft single-reactor boats, the staging at the CBSS is a rather ordinary event - if there are any leaks or soaring: exit to the RGRM and troubleshooting in the stabilization mode without running. On multipurpose boats, the stabilization system is autonomous, is almost not tied to a drainage system, it has its own stabilization system pumps, and GONs are not involved.

    I will add another 5 kopecks to the piggy bank of opinions. Speaking about American nuclear submarines, one must remember that each of them has the ability to exchange information in real time with a branched automated system for monitoring the surface and underwater conditions of the US Navy, which includes the well-known SOSUS system, as well as various means of detecting and tracking underwater and surface targets on ships, airplanes, helicopters and satellites (radars, sonars, sonar buoys, infrared sensors, magnetometers, etc.) / This allows the submarine to minimize the use of tion of its assets in an active mode, and thus increase the stealth ..
    The Americans also carry out significant work on dynamic additional reconnaissance and coordinate adjustment of targets, which makes it possible to use Tomahawk-type missiles installed on nuclear submarines not only against stationary (ground) targets but also as anti-ship missiles against surface and underwater targets. Those. having a fairly old underwater platform, the Americans manage to constantly increase its combat effectiveness
    1. +3
      11 February 2013 18: 13
      The SOSUS system does not work on-line, i.e. the data recorded from its sensors are first processed in the center, all unnecessary noises, the natural noise of the sea, its inhabitants and so on are removed and only then what is needed can be distinguished. In particular, the noise of submarines.

        11 February 2013 18: 24
        Naturally, in such systems, primary information about the goals is first processed, filtered, grouped, etc., and only then issued to users. Otherwise, they simply choke in a stream of false alarms. And all these processing processes are executed in real time, and not online. Just a real-time scale for each processing level.

        Who is there to entrust the "fuel oil" to manage such a serious equipment? belay
        Only to the service staff.
        It is in their films that the captains of the Premier League and CVN are "shoe polish". soldier
        Sometimes they fall into frames and such.

        Who allowed this?
        "Gentlemen" for any more in their ranks. wink



        Even on cockades of berets, sexual and racial stratification is indicated. wink

              The women are real, but judging by some photos, they are worse than the nuclear threat. Or maybe everything is as planned?

                  In the photo there are babies from New Zealand. By the way, they have been serving women on boats for a long time. Now I understand why laughing No one will be too long even after a couple of months.

    In America, as always: a native of Russia and a Jew. If not for our Jews, where would this America be? And the article is good, the comments are also excellent, I learned a lot of new and interesting things. Thank you.

        Our Jews are ours, living with us for centuries. And even if Russia is a multinational country. And learn to spell the word Russian correctly, but it seems that you yourself are non-Russian.

      This is the whole joke.))) The USA is not so much geography as the state system and people who sent nafig their princes, counts and "national leaders", went overseas and agreed to live by their own rules. It turned out, I must say, wonderful.

      The United States could have formed anywhere - even in India, now there would be "USS" with the same population and state system

    Judging by the pattern, Moose TA is in the bow, and not from the sides. I usually imagined, from the sides at an angle, this is near the wheelhouse i.e. almost in the center of the case. And here ahead. Is it exactly Elk?
