Cheers!

The first of the two drawings has now been completed and as such follows with details.

• Unbroken or 'U' Class Submarine (SSI)
• Produced:2001-2010
• In Commission: 2003 Onwards
• Displacement: Surfaced:~1,600 Tonnes Submerged: ~1,730-1,800 Tonnes
• Length: 75.5m
• Beam: 7.5m
• Draught: 5.7m nominal
• Test Depth: >300m
• Propulsion:
  • 2x MTU 12V4000 U83 diesel generators @ 1,300kW ea.
  • 10x Siemens 35kW fuel cells (4x 90kW cells from S-527 onwards)
  • 1x Siemens 2000kW motor
  • 4x 150 cell batteries
  • 1x retractable auxiliary propulsor (in this case a VSP) for fine and slow, silent manoeuvring
  • Main propulsor is a 13 blade shrouded affair.
• Speed: Surfaced:12 knots Submerged: 20 knots
• Complement and Accommodation: 5 officers and 20 ratings plus austere accommodation for a party of 12 special forces personnel
• Endurance: 60 days before resupply
• Range: 10,000km @ 10 knots (surfaced) - 30 days without snorkelling
• Armament: 4x 533mm torpedo tubes, 2x 400mm torpedo tubes and a multi-purpose dock/lock between the torpedo tubes (for divers / SF, UUVs, mines or non-reloadable weapons)
• Up-to 12 reloads can be carried for the 533mm tubes as well as a further 4 to 6 for the 400mm tubes (which can double stack torpedoes)
  Weapon Systems Employed:
  • WASS Black Shark heavyweight 533mm torpedo
  • Saab Bofors Dynamics Type 43X2 / Type 45/46 lightweight dual purpose 400mm torpedo
  • BAE / MBDA Sea Eagle (Sub launched spin-off)
  • Deihl BGT IDAS SuAAM (under evaluation)
  • Dillon Aero M134 (mast mounted)
• Sensors: (Fitted from new or refitted from 2006 onwards) Thales UWS S-Cube integrated sonar suite as well as Thales UWS supplied air and surface search radar sets and control consoles / C4ISR equipment

ETA: Missed some stuff off of the specifications as well as W class follow on.

Warrior or 'W' Class Submarine (SSI)


Similar in design to the U class with a revised single pressure hull instead of the compounded one on the 'U' class. These vessels loose the multi-purpose dock in the bow and gain another pair of 533mm torpedo tubes. They also feature silos aft of the sail for either TLAMs or other vertically launched weapons. Weapon storage goes up with the loss of the SF accommodation to 16 533mm weapons and 8 400mm weapons.
Range is somewhat similar to their predecessors being capable of attaining some 10,000km at 10 knots. Their endurance however has increased via the new found storage space to 90 days.
S-550 was laid down in 2009 and accepted into commission in 2011. S-551 followed in 2012 and S-552 in February 2013.

Very nice submarine,I like the idea for the sub-Sea Eagle.

Thanks for yet more kind words all!

The "sub-eagle" is part of a bigger picture at least in the AU, I'm trying to avoid having to use the harpoon and go European all the way up to getting NSM and then some sort of supersonic missile (Perseus being the most likely at this point).

Wonderful subs. The attention to detail is really mesmerizing.

Yes, that's a (traditionally) great work!

I must be doing things right all of a sudden!

Excellent stuff!

I figure I should post this here as it is my main thread after all.
