With the coming of the Corinth Dleroes SubCarrier, the UCSNE realized it's need to modernize it's subsurface fleet to it's standards. But rather than redesigning all of the old attack and missile boats, we have decided to create a new class of sub, the Gewehrston.
Length-180 meters
Powerplant-2 General Atomics Type 34 Pebble Bed Reactor
Propulsion-4 MHD in hull, feed from mid length
Maximum Speed-45 knots
Mission Length-Unlimited Range (10 years worth reactor fuel), can hold enough supplies for a full crew mission of 250 days
Sensors/Electronics/Extra Systems
Athena-N antiradar for when surfaced
"Whisper" Sound Absorbing Gel
GPS/Mag8 Navigational system
Laser/Radio/Datapulse capable Comms
Damage Control, Makeshift underwater Emergency Habitat for up to 330, sealant, airtight bulkhead lockdown capable
50 shot ACAP Decoy System
LADAR, EMS, UV, Sonar
Armor-400mm CB/TM/AW layering
Armarment
96 tube VLS system, with ColdFire for underwater and surface launch.
6 forward, 4 rear Torpedo tubes, using SEADAGGER, SEASLAM, SEAFIST, SEAFURY series torpedoes, supercacitating torpedoes, Sea launched missiles.
6 Poseidon Anti-projectile/mine/subcraft turrets, each with independent sensor arrays linked to the sub's primary fire control computer. Each Poseidon has 4 20mm Railguns using supercavitating rounds to destroy underwater targets, and, if necessary, AP, HE, and KEAPER to destroy targets over the surface, such as hovering ASW VTOLs.
220 SEASHIELD S-SLIDs, or Supercavitating Small Low Cost Interceptor devices, fired out of 4 racks on top and bottom of the sub.
The Gewehrston also sports room for
4 Unmanned Submersible Littoral Combatants or
4 Phast USV or
4 SuperManta USV or
4 Subfighters or
2 Medium Subcraft
Crew-Up to 90 men due to advanced automation, room for 20 more (Crew for any USVs or subcraft)
Cost-2.5 billion per submarine, to be procured at a rate of 1 per year to fill the NENs requirement.
