The development of the Project 705 Lira (Alfa) class submarines gave rise to the idea of a second generation submarine along similar lines. Mike class SSN.svg 1,110 × 250; 104 KB Mike class submarine (from SMP).JPEG 3,015 × 1,340; 2 MB СÑ
ема гибели ÐÐÐ «ÐомÑомолеѻ.svg 744 × 673; 598 KB The Komsomolets was the advanced technology "Mike" class submarine. The resulting Project 685 submarine, codenamed the âMike-classâ by NATO, was longer than a football field at 117 meters long and displaced 8,000 tons submerged. Finally, the Akula class were being constructed as the Cold War ended, and these boats form the mainstay of the Russian nuclear attack submarine ⦠Although the West had thought its reactors were of some sort of exotic design (the most popular hypothesis was that they were liquid metal cooled) they were in fact water-cooled like most others of their type. Komsomolets, a Mike-class Soviet nuclear Fast Attack submarine, was both a prototype and (later) the only serving instance of its class. (U.S. Navy Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Amanda R. Gray) We would be devastated, for sure. Mike class. The V.K. She has been on patrol for 39 days. The Soviet Navy, by contrast, depended on conscription and automation to man its larger force. At 11:00 a.m. The Sierra classes were further titanium-hulled submarines and the single Mike-class submarine was an experimental type containing a number of innovations. As a consequence, it did not go to sea as often and did not develop as deep a set of skills as U.S. and British submariners. K-278 Komsomolets was the only Project 685 Plavnik (Ðлавник, meaning "fin", also known by its NATO reporting name of "Mike"-class) nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Soviet Navy.On August 4, 1984 K-278 reached a record submergence depth of 1,020 meters, in Norwegian Sea. However in 1989, a fire broke out on board while in the Norwegian sea, and this drove the submarine to the surface. The Sierra classes were further titanium-hulled submarines and the single Mike-class submarine was an experimental type containing a number of innovations. This gap was highlighted when the Soviet Mike-class submarine Komsomolets sank in 1989. USS Kentucky, a ballistic-missile submarine,departs for astrategic deterrencemission since 2016. Designed with a titanium hull and advanced hull design, the submarine was a worry for the US Navy in the closing days of the Soviet Union. Or what if they used the Yasen-class with fewer warheads but larger payloads, would America be defeated in one sure stroke? Finally, the Akula class were being constructed as the Cold War ended, and these boats form the mainstay of the Russian nuclear attack submarine ⦠Its titanium hull allowed it to withstand and incredible 1,500 psi of pressure from the surrounding ocean. The Sinking. About the original Submarine In the 1960âs The Soviet Union invested massive resources in the development of advanced Nuclear submarines in order to reach parity with the United States. The Project 685 was an advanced submarine developed to test advanced submarine technologies. The resulting Project 685 submarine, codenamed the âMike-classâ by NATO, was longer than a football field at 117 meters long and displaced 8,000 tons submerged. Komsomolets, of the Soviet Northern Fleet, is cruising at 1,250 feet below the surface of the Norwegian Sea, some 100 miles southwest of Bjornoya (Bear Island) and 200 miles to the north of the Norwegian mainland. Its titanium hull allowed it to withstand and incredible 1,500 psi of pressure from the surrounding ocean. It is 7 April 1989.
