Weapons, Biggest
Monsters of the deep sea are far from human creation. There are several times more submarines than blue whales recognized by the giants of the planet. They can be under water for up to six months, dive to inconceivable depths, travel unnoticed through the seas and oceans - get acquainted
TOP 10 largest submarines in the world.
1- Project 941 “Shark” - 48,000 tons
The length of the Shark-type submarine (Typhoon in NATO classification) is 173 meters, and the total displacement is 48,000 tons. This boat is called the "Hilton" among the submarines. The crew has lounges, a gym, a swimming pool, a solarium and a sauna. Everything to feel comfortable, because the battery life of the "Sharks" is up to 180 days. A total of 6 such boats were built.
2- Project 955 (A) Borey - 24,000 tons
With a displacement of 24,000 tons and a length of 170 m, submarines of the Borey class can be autonomous under water for up to 90 days. This is a new class of submarines that have been produced by the Russian Navy since 2013. There are already three such boats in service.
3- “Ohio” class - 18 750 tons
Ohio submarines were produced in 1976-1997. - They are the same age as the Sharks. This type of submarine is superior to the Russian project 941 in terms of sailing range and the number of missiles, but is inferior in displacement by almost three times - 18 750 tons with a length of 171 m. Now 18 oceans plow the sea-oceans
4- Project 667BDRM "Dolphin" - 18,200 tons
The Ohio submarines of the Dolphin project are slightly inferior - 18,200 tons, 167.4 m. A total of 7 such boats have been built, but currently in service 5. It is noteworthy that it was from the submarine of this project that artificial Earth satellites were launched.
5 - Class "Vanguard" - 15 900 tons
Four British Navy Vanguard class boats were built between 1986 and 1999, and are still in service. 150 m long, they carry, however, 16 Trident II cruise missiles. There are 4 such boats in service with the British forces, but recently they have been talking about re-equipping one of them for peaceful purposes.
6 - Class "Triomphant" - 14 335 tons
The length of the hull of the four French atomic strategic submarines of the Triomphant class is 138 meters. They are capable of diving up to 400 meters ("Ohio", for example - up to 550 m), and carry 16 ballistic missiles. The service crew - 121 people.
7- Project 885 “Ash” - 13 800 tons
Now in the Russian Navy there is only one submarine of the Yasen project, all of them are supposed to be built of seven such submarines. This is a multi-purpose submarine, during the construction of which the task of maintaining silent movement was completed. It has both torpedo and missile weapons. The length of the boat is 120 m.
8- Project 971 "Pike-B" - 12 770 tons
These are some of the fastest submarines in the world. If huge monsters, the leaders of our TOP are able to develop under water no more than 25 knots (about 65 km / h), then “Pike-B” (NATO classification - “Shark”) - all 33 nodes. At the same time, its maximum immersion depth is 600 m, autonomy - 100 s. A total of 15 submarines were built.
9- Project 945A “Condor” - 10,400 tons
Another submarine project developed in the USSR, whose representatives successfully serve in the Russian Navy. With a length of 110.5 m, this submarine also drops to 600 m, but moves even faster, developing 35 knots under water. In service are 2 nuclear submarines of this project, launched in 1989 and in 1992.
10- Seawolf class - 9,130 tons
The American submarine Seawolf was designed as a response to the appearance of the Soviet Pike-B. It is mainly armed with torpedoes, but it can launch up to 50 Tomahawk missiles from torpedo mines. The length of the submarine is 107.6 m, it moves at a speed of up to 35 knots, up to 25 knots - without noise.
