Leviathan Class Attack Submarine unveiled

United Elias

The EM-240 Leviathan class Nuclear attack submarine was designed in order to compliment Akula and Sierra class submarines in service with the Elias. The type is highly advanced and little expense has been spared developing it, with innovative design ideas being taken from the West and the East. This is the first submarine the Elias Marine Corporation has developed and once again the company has lived up to its reputation, reliability, ingenuity and capability.

Design

The submarine’s hull is built from a Titanium alloy which while being expensive gives the vessel an impressive diving depth of 2,600ft and as it is light allows a maximum diving speed of nearly 40 knots. The other advantage is that Titanium is non magnetic and MAD gear is therefore useless in detecting the submarine. Power for Leviathan class is provided by a Pressure Water reactor developed by the Elias Atomic Energy Corporation that features excellent levels of radiation shielding and safety systems that have been exhaustively tested.. Instead of standard propellers the Leviathan uses a pump jet propulsors that offers incredible advantages in acoustic stealth over conventional configurations as well as increased reliability. In order to maximise acoustic stealth the hull is covered with sound insulating anechoic tiles which prevents nearly all interior sounds from escaping.

One of the most easily detectable signs of submarines has always been the periscope that can show up easily on surface search radars but on the Leviathan the fibre optic is non hull penetrating and is covered in a RAM coating that makes a small radar cross section into a virtually non existent one. Additionally the periscope’s shape minimises visible wake on the surface. All other antennae and aerials that need to protrude above the surface at some stage all have these stealth features to minimise the risk of detection.

The submarine was designed with the object of having the least crew possible and using automated systems and eliminating certain jobs through technology the compliment of the class need only be 112 although spare accommodation for 36 is provided for missions such as Special Forces Insertion where additional personnel are required.

Weapons

The Leviathan class boats excellent war fighting capability and an emphasis has been placed on land attack as well as anti-surface/anti-submarine warfare. The Torpedo room is located one compartment aft of the bow behind the huge active/passive sonar sphere and has 4 533mm torpedo tubes and four 650mm torpedo tubes (The four larger tubes can be reduced to 533mmdiamterusing tube liners). These different sizes mean that the submarine can fire a whole range of torpedoes, mines and missiles such as the SS-N-21, SS-N-16, Skhval, EAW-22 Cruise missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79705&highlight=) and Yakhont-3 Anti ship missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79445&highlight=). The torpedo compartment itself can store a total of 38 weapons.

The Leviathan in addition also has 16 650mm Vertical Launch tubes mounted in a 4x4 layout just forward of the sail which are able to fire nearly all existing anti-ship and land attack missiles that can be fired while submerged.

Displacement: 8,600 tons dived
Dimensions 362ft x 38ft x 34ft
Max Speed: 39 knots dived.
Max ‘Silent’ Speed: 22 knots
Crush Depth: 2,600ft

His Royal Highness'es Naval Forces of Nichtstein would like to place and order for 3 of such submarines.

As such, we would like to inquire into as how long will it take for the completion of the constructions and when can we expect to send in skeleton crews to take this ships out?

The 3.9 billion will be wired by the scheme you deem appropriate.

OOC:

Yes, I know - I still need to buy that equip from you, but not much time and thats lots of compilation to make :?

The government of Kenistan is very interested in purchasing some of your leviathon submarines, but as both of our nations have had no prior diplomatic relations we are unsure of how to proceed with negotiations. The cost is not an option, and would be looking at a fleet of 10 vessels, with an option for 4 more. Are these terms acceptable?

Unfortunately policy allows no room for manoevere and we cannot allow your nation to puchase these vessels. However if you purchased some of our other more available products first we can always reconsider.

To: Ministry of Defense Procurement and Export, The Federal Dictatorship of United Elias
From: Gal Sharif, Secretary of Defense Procurement, The Arab Republic of Al-Sabir
Subject: Leviathan SSN purchase

Dear Sir/Madam,

The few Leviathan Class Submarines in ASN service have proven their stealthiness in countless combat situations, serving as hunter submarines, land attack platforms, intelligence gatherers and even search and rescuers. However, AFIRR (Armed Forces Independent Review Report) has revealed the requirement for more to fulfill all obligations to our national policies and allies. Thirty-eight additional Leviathan Class Attack Submarines are hereby ordered, and the $49.4 billion USD will be transferred as soon as the order is confirmed.

Regards,

Gal Sharif

Could we purchase 50 of these for our submarine force? the total comes to 65 billion. We can easily afford this as we have spent none of our military budget for new equipment for quite some time. We have bought helicopters from you before that proved to be of good quality, and would like to buy more of your top-quality equipment. money will be wired upon confirmation.
