Five Strongest Sub-marines In The World by Davidhero(m): 12:21pm On Jul 19, 2016 |
This is Dedicated to all Mariners.... Loyalty and Valour. 1. Sea Wolf Class Country : USA Entered Service : 1997 Diving Depth :487m Torpedo Tubes : 8x660-km Weapons : MK 48 Torpedoes Sub-Harpoon and Anti-Ship Missiles and Tomahawk Cruise and Missiles. The boats of the Seawolf class are the most advanced but also the most expensive hunter-killer submarines in the world. These submarines were intended to restore the technological edge which the US Navy had enjoyed over the Soviets from 1945 until the mid-1980s, when espionage and the cynical trading practices of some US allies somewhat eroded it. The Seawolf class boats were intended to seek and destroy the latest Soviet ballistic missile submarines, such as the Typhoon class and attack submarines such as the Akula class.

2. VIRGINIA CLASS Country : USA Entered Service : 2004 Diving Depth : Over 250m Vertical Launch Tubes : 4x533mm Weapons : MK 48 Torpedoes Sub-Harpoon Anti-Ship Missiles Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. It Is the First US Submarine to employ a built-in Navy Seal Staging area allowing a team of 9 Men to enter and leave the Submarine. The US Navy's Virginia class nuclear-powered attack submarine is as a successor to the Los Angeles class boats. It was designed as a smaller, cheaper and more versatile alternative to the advanced but extremely expensive Seawolf class. A total of 30 of Virginia class nuclear-powered attack submarines are planned. The Virginia class submarines incorporate newly designed anechoic coating, isolated deck structures and new design of propulsor to achieve low acoustic signature. It is claimed that noise level of the Virginia is equal to that of the Seawolf class. The Virginia class submarines are fitted with 12 vertical launch system (VLS) tubes. These are used to launched Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles with a range of 1 700 km. Also there are four 533-mm torpedo tubes. These are used to fire a total of 26 Mk.48 heavyweight torpedoes and Sub-Harpoon anti-ship missiles

3. ASTUTE CLASS Country : UNITED KINGDOM Entered Service : 2010 Diving Depth : over 150m Torpedo Tubes : 6x533mm Weapons : Spearfish Torpedoes Sub-Harpoon Anti-Ship Missiles, Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. The first Astute class nuclear-powered attack submarine was commissioned with the Royal Navy in 2010. So far 7 boats of the class are planned. These will replace the older Swiftsure class attack submarines. The Astute class boats are significantly stealthier and carry more weapons than the previous boats of Trafalgar class. These attack submarines are fitted with six 533-mm torpedo tubes. These are used to launch Spearfish torpedoes, Sub-Harpoon anti-ship missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles . A mix of 36 missiles and torpedoes are carried. The Tomahawk Block IV land attack cruise missiles have a range of 1 700 km and can target enemy ships as well as land targets.

5. SIERRA II CLASS Entered Service: 1992 Diving Depth: 400m Torpedo Tubes: 4x650mm, 4x533mm Weapons: Torpedoes, SS-N-15 Starfish. SS-N-16 Stallion Anti-Submarine Missiles. SS-N-21 Samson Cruise Missiles. The Russian expensive Sierra I and Sierra II class boats succeeded the ill-fated Alfa class. These boats have two light and strong titanium hulls. These submarines can operate at great depths and provided reduced radiated noise levels as well as increased resistance to damage of torpedo attacks. Soviet titanium technology was far in advance of the West, requiring fewer passes to achieve a successful weld, but the cost of the hulls limited the numbers built, despite advantages in depth and underwater speed. The Russian Navy maintains these advanced submarines despite their high operating costs.
