#AKULA CLASS SUBMARINE SWIMING POOL FULL#
Having a conformal array from the begining (instead of the sperical array in the Yasen design linage) allows it to revert to direct-ahead torpedo tubes.ĭisplacement: 11,340 tons full displacementĪrmament: 6 (?) x 533mm torpedo tubes in bow shooting directly ahead, and VLS. And possibly large flank running almost the entire length of the hull. The lines of the model point towards a conformal main sonar array, likely related to the one on Yasen-M boats. The choice not to go with a pumpjet propulsor, per the Borei class, appears to be a design bureau trait. The screw will be a typical screwback design. A a single integral towed array in the upper rudder. In some respects similar in layout to the Yasen class (which is also a Malachite design) it will have a traditional cruciform tail with two-part control surfaces (i.e. This Covert Shores Recognition Guide Covers over 80 classes of submarines including all types currently in service with World Navies. Get The essential guide to World Submarines It will likely serve in the Northern and Pacific fleets. Like other recent classes of attack submarines it is being developed by the Malachite design Bureau in St. The Laika Class nuclear powered attack submarine (SSN) will supersede the Project 971 AKULA Class SSN from the 2030s.
