Submarines are warships that can operate underwater for long periods. They are usually equipped with torpedoes as well as missiles. They can be used to attack enemy naval vessels during wartime. They can also be used to conduct deep sea rescues or research.
One example of a Soviet Navy-built nuclear-powered submarine is the Akula Class submarine. It is the largest submarine class ever made and includes nine ships that can dive as deep as 70% deeper than their American counterparts.
These nuclear powered submarines come equipped with a nuclear power station and can operate to a depth of approximately 4,400 meters. They can go as fast as 20 knots while underwater and 11 knots while on the surface.
TYPE 94/99 SIERRA CLASS (Project 941 Akula)
The sierraclass is a nuclear-powered attack submarine that was built by the Russian Navy. These submarines are equipped with a light and heavy titanium pressure hull that allows them to dive up to 520 meters. They are also capable of reducing radiated sound and increasing their torpedo resistence.
The submarine can be pulled by a large diesel-electric tug at speeds of up to 30 knots. You can equip them with various weaponry, including multiple-warhead submarine launched ballistic missiles, tactical cruise rockets, and torpedoes.
They can also be equipped with heavyweight wire-guided underwater and surface target torpedoes.
These submarines can be defended up to 4,200 m underwater and have a total displacement 15,900 tons.
It comes equipped with eight torpedo tube that can hold 18 heavyweight wire–guided underwater and surface torpedoes. They can also come with mines, SM39 Exocet antishipping rockets, and other weaponry.
INS Chakra 2 & INS Akula are nuclear powered submarines built by Russia for Indian Navy. These submarines are used in Indian Ocean to stop Chinese ships from passing the waters.
India requires a very fast submarine building program to protect its interests within International Waters. They should also build surveillance capabilities in order to locate other countries' submarines within the Indian Ocean.
These submarines are very fast and can reach their targets quickly. They are also very strong and can withstand high yield stress and hydro-static forces.
They are normally manned only by one or two crewmen, but they can be manned up to six to nine crew depending on what sub you choose.
There are many sub-marine types, each with its own specific features and specifications. Some are personal submarines and others are submersibles for military or naval purposes.
The most popular types of submarines are - Nuclear Powered and Armed Submarines (SSN): These are marines that have unlimited endurance and high speed, are armed with torpedoes and missiles and can complement carrier battle groups.
