s that terrorize the enemy both in times of war and peace, they are associated with countless myths, which without However, it is not surprising since they are created under conditions of special secrecy, but today we know enough to tell you in detail about this apocalyptic weapon, why don't you sit back and let's get started? This is going to be very interesting. Nuclear

s are divided. in generations The first generation submarines built in the 1950s are characterized by relatively high noise and imperfect hydroacoustic systems.

The second generation was built in the 60s and 70s. The hole shape was optimized to increase speed. The third generation appeared in the early 80s and is mainly characterized by a significantly larger displacement, greater autonomy and longer crew life, as well as the unification of submarines and their classes. American ships such as Ohio and Los Angeles received reactors that operate without recharging for up to 11 years and do not require major repairs during the entire life cycle up to 30 years the fourth generation is currently the most modern, it began its history in the early 90s in The USA is represented only by multipurpose types in Russia the fourth generation is represented by three ships of the Boret project submarine ballistic

class ship.

These vehicles are united by the use of water jet in proportions similar to those of the Seol submarine of project 955, considered the most perfect in the world. Sound-absorbing coatings of a new type. New Materials. Long life reactors after a series. In the event of disasters on the previous generation of submarines, the projects received their own autonomous escape capsules and a completely isolated reactor. Armament increased and became standardized, so American ships learned to store up to 50 cruise missiles of the main types used by the US Navy, the promising fifth generation. it exists only on paper we will talk about it at the end of this video nuclear submarines have a classification according to their purpose the first class is nuclear ballistic submarine boat abbreviated as ssbn these submarines carry ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads on board the main objectives of These boats are military bases and enemy cities in America.

Ships of the Ohio type belong to this class. Each carries 20 Trident 2 D5 ballistic missiles on board. The Trident 2 D5 missile is equipped with two types of warheads: the w76 with 100 kilotons and the w88 with 475 kilotons. With maximum charge, the missile is capable of launching 8 w88 or 14 w76 blocks at a range of 7360 km. The Ohio has a maximum submerged speed of 25 knots. The Russian B has 16 balava missiles, each with 10 warheads with a yield of 100 to 150 kilotons each. The maximum speed of the ship's submarine is 29 knots. The second class of nuclear submarines are multipurpose submarines or nuclear submarines, abbreviated.

SSN its main armament is cruise missiles and torpedoes. The most representative representative of this class is the American ship Seawolf, which has on board up to 50 cruise missiles, such as the Harpoon or the Tomahawk, the underwater speed of the missile carrier. It is up to 35 knots, but due to the huge cost, each ship costs 4.3 billion. The US only has three more such ships represented in this class. Ships of the Virginia type, depending on the series, can carry from 12 to 24 Tomahawk cruise missiles on board. The maximum underwater speed of the ship is 34 knots and now, in terms of the design of nuclear submarines, they have a nuclear propulsion system that makes the autonomy of a submarine cruiser much greater than that of a diesel submarine- electric.

The range of missions has also been greatly expanded. The Americans and British have stopped using non-nuclear submarines. Overall, only five countries have nuclear submarines besides the United States and Russia. France England and China are in the club of the chosen ones the rest of the maritime powers use diesel electric submarines the most advanced nuclear reactor for submarines is considered the s6w reactor installed in the Seawolf type submarines it has a thermal power of 300,000 horsepower and a on the 57,000 horsepower shaft Thanks to two steam turbines the reactor can use natural circulation for most of its total power without coolant pumps, which greatly reduces the ship's noise It is interesting to note the number of nuclear submarine accidents that have had a total of eight submarines sunk in the history of the nuclear fleet four Soviets two Russians and two Americans only one USS Thresher serial number SSN 593 due to total damage the infamous kir lost in 2000 during exercises was the most famous disaster of the Russian Navy and not the only accident due to Armament one experimental torpedo exploded on board others sank due to direct or indirect propulsion problems Russian and American ships differ in their architecture the US makes its submarine nuclear is a single cellar and Russia makes theirs with a double hole in this case there is a rough and rugged interior hole and a streamlined exterior light hole, for example, in the antinuclear submarines of Project 949a that included the al

mentioned K, the distance between the holes is 3.5 M.

Double-hold ships are believed to have more survivability, while single-hold ships, other things being equal, have less overall weight. a tendency to switch to single-hole nuclear submarines, since the most modern steel used in the holes of American ships allows them to withstand huge loads at depth and provides the submarine with a high level of survivability, in particular we are talking about steel from high strength hy8. Grade 100, obviously, even more advanced materials will be used in the future. The hole of the ship is divided into compartments according to the design and can be from four to n, for example, in ships of the Ohio type there are four of them, the one of greatest interest is the second compartment which has 24 missile silo launchers that penetrate the Full height compartment Silos closed at the top by a hydraulically operated lid The lid seals the shaft and is designed to withstand the same pressure as the solid bore A special locking mechanism provides protection against unauthorized entry A glass cup is installed starter inside the shaft which is covered by a membrane that prevents water from entering when the cover is open during startup the membrane is dome-shaped and made of phenolic resin reinforced with ASAS when the missile is launched with explosive charge the membrane is destroyed in a center in several side pieces the Ohio is equipped with the mk98 fire control system that allows all missiles to be brought into a

-to-launch state within 1 minute in 15 minutes during pre-launch preparation the system calculates the inputs of firing data is entered into the missile performs pre-launch checks and performs readiness control during pre-launch preparation the mk98 computer system can redirect all missiles simultaneously before launch an overpressure is created in the silo using a pressure accumulator of gunpowder the gas produced by the combustion of gunpowder passes through a chamber with partially cooled water and enters the bottom of the launch cup pushing the rocket with an acceleration of approximately 10 GS, the rocket leaves the shaft at a speed of approximately 50 m/s as the rocket moves up the diaphragm. breaks and the shaft begins to receive seawater the shaft cover closes automatically after the rocket leaves the water is pumped out of the shaft into a special replacement tank to keep the submarine in a stable position and at a given depth the gyroscopic stabilizer devices are controlled and the water ball As the pumped missiles can be launched in intervals of 15 to 20 seconds from a depth of up to 30 m at a speed of approximately 5 knots and in C waves up to six points, all missiles can be fired in a single Salvo, in normal mode the engine activation occurs at an altitude of 10 to 30 m above sea level the high precision of Triton missiles allows hitting the entire range of high-power targets such as silo launchers and posts Deep command ranges The long defeat range allowed ships like the Ohio to fulfill their duty in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in the areas of domination of their naval forces, which provided them with high combat stability, high efficiency and cost relatively low maintenance of submarines armed with Trident missiles have led to the strategic maritime forces occupying a leading position in the American nuclear Triad and ensuring the deployment of 2,116 of a total of 3,492 warheads, 60% of which on nuclear vessels multipurpose instead of launch silos.

Universal launching devices with drum magazines are installed for launching torpedoes, cruise missiles and surface-to-surface missiles. We said above that the presence of a nuclear reactor dramatically increases the duration of autonomous navigation of the submarine. It is believed that the duration of an autonomous trip, as a single trip is called, can reach 6 months. Many of today's nuclear submarines can remain underwater for up to half of this time and the entire period without resupply from shore or support vessels, however, the average campaign period of the submarine fleet of all states is approximately 2 to 3 months and the main limiting factor here is not air booking as you might think.

Its consumption is enormous, there are between 150 and 160 crew members on board, in addition the air is used to blow out the water tanks to come to the surface and to remove the torpedoes from the torpedo tubes, but the air in a modern nuclear submarine is extracts directly on board using water electrolysis, the main deterrent. Long autonomous cruises are psychological, it is too difficult for a human being to stay for a long time in a confined space with limited equipment, it is finally time to talk about the future of nuclear submarines, about fifth generation ships. It is good to say that in this It is true that the United States is surpassing its main rival in this field, Russia, if the Russians are only going to create ships with a modular reactor manufactured in a separate compartment that does not require maintenance during the 40 years of operation of the ship and with an autonomous rescue capsule for everyone.

The crew members then on the American Seawolf had already realized all this, it is already clear that the duplication of the reactor systems will remain and the main propulsion will be a water hammer controlled by a secondary electric motor during the main operation and directly by the reactor turbine in At high speed march we should also expect fully automated control systems that will allow us to concentrate the crew in a more protected module without the need for constant transitions to the working compartments and, of course, these Submarine assassins will be equipped with even more deadly hypersonic weapons. missiles the Russian project Poseidon 2 M39 or according to the NATO code Canyon deserves special words it is a torpedo equipped with a nuclear propulsion system and a Megaton-class nuclear warhead there is no reliable information about its characteristics several sources named its length between 16 and 24 M in diameter It has a size of 1.5 to 2 m and a mass of approximately 100 tons.

The device will reach speeds of up to 70 knots and will move at a depth of up to 1,000 m. The purpose of Poseidon is to cause guaranteed unacceptable damage to coastal zones through extensive radioactive contamination and other destructive factors, however, many experts point out the inconvenience of such a nuclear torpedo in the context of the existing strategic nuclear arsenal, which more effectively solves the tasks set. The practical scenarios for using the Poseidon are not obvious. Missile weapons are faster and more accurate, while the vehicle can take up to several days to cover the distance to the coast, this also suggests that authorities in post-Putin Russia may abandon the Poseidon in similar developments to normalize relations. with Western countries and on this important note we end our story about modern nuclear submarines, thank you.
