Although the Tikuna was launched in March 2005, in October of the same year the SMB-10 project was suspended by the Navy Command. This project had as its objective the construction of a 100% Brazilian conventional propulsion submarine of 2,500 tons. Overall, the project foresaw the production of six units in the Navy Arsenal of Rio de Janeiro. [7]
The upcoming Columbia-class (formerly known as the Ohio Replacement Submarine and SSBN-X Future Follow-on Submarine) nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines of the United States Navy are designed to replace the Ohio class. [7] Construction of the first vessel began on 1 October 2020. [8] She is scheduled to enter service in 2031. [9] [10] [11]
The SSN(X) or Next-Generation Attack Submarine program of the United States Navy aims to develop a new class of nuclear-powered attack submarines to succeed the Virginia and Seawolf classes. The SSN(X) program remains in the early stages of development and no official details have been released about its design or capabilities.
The Virginia-class submarine was the first US Navy warship with its development coordinated using such 3D visualization technology as CATIA, which comprises computer-aided engineering (CAE), computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management (PLM). Design problems for Electric Boat—and ...
A 16th-century Islamic painting depicting Alexander the Great being lowered in a glass submersible. The concept of underwater transport has roots deep in antiquity. There are images of men using hollow sticks to breathe underwater for hunting at the temples at Thebes, and the first known military use occurred during the siege of Syracuse (415–413 BC), where divers cleared obstructions ...
These submarines can also be fitted with a dry deck shelter, which allows special forces (e.g. SBS) to deploy whilst the submarine is submerged. [33] More than 39,000 acoustic tiles mask the vessel's sonar signature, part of acoustic qualities that give the Astute class over any other submarine previously operated by the Royal Navy.
Project 705 was first proposed in 1957 by M. G. Rusanov and the initial design work led by Rusanov began in May 1960 in Leningrad [1] [2] with design task assigned to SKB-143, one of the two predecessors (the other being TsKB-16) of the Malakhit Design Bureau, which would eventually become one of the three Soviet/Russian submarine design centers, along with Rubin Design Bureau and Lazurit ...
The technical data obtained would be used to aid in the design and construction of the new submarine class. The project reflected that the submarines would be introduced in the 2020s and that the research is conducted between 2005 and 2008, while in-house testing occurs between 2007 and 2009. A total of ¥800 million were used to fund project ...
