1.21 Red Tide-class Ballistic Missile Submarine
http://img21.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Chlevenkov/1.jpg
The ??????? ?????-class Ballistic Submarine was developed to expand the ARSB's ballistic submarine fleet as well as broaden its use by allowing the ballistic fleet to engage land targets with non-nuclear weapons (PAC-56A cruise missile).
Power Plant: One SB-G6A Nuclear reactor
core reloaded every nine years
two geared steam turbines,
two shafts, output of 62,000 hp
Length: 578 feet
Beam: 52 feet
Displacement: Surfaced: 17,787 tons
Submerged:19,780 tons
Speed: 27 knots submerged speed
Operating Depth: Roughly 1,350 feet
Armament: 16 - tubes for cruise missiles/ballistic missiles/nuclear missiles (see PAC-56A Javelin Cruise Missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124108))
4 - torpedo tubes (purchaser supplies own torpedoes, can house up to 36 torpedoes)
Systems:
SB-APTSA-1A/D: Passive Towed Sonar Array- Can be used under ice and in most conditions. Can recognise deformaties in a 1 km radius around array. Array is a 1km long towed cable with multiple sensors and minimum drag.
SB-IRMDS: Mine-detecting sonar- Intermediate range mine-detecting and avoidance sonar system, can also detect ice.
SB-APSA-22A BC-17 submarine passive sonar signal detection and analysis system processes and displays MultiBeam acoustic data from all hull and towed array sonars and acoustic intercept and noise monitoring hydrophones. It supports detection and analysis of narrowband and broadband acoustic target signatures. Acoustic data is presented to the operator in color waterfall (LOFARgram), single spectrum (A-Scan) and broadband (DIMUS) display formats.
SB-BQG-A1 Wide Aperture Flank Sonar array (active/passive)
SB-ALMRS/TTAC-99NSV- Utilizes radar mast to track up to 30 surface or aerial targets. Also uses passive or active sonar to keep track of up to 10 submerged/surface vessels and project probably headings, depth, fire angles, and other variables.
SB-ASMA (Advanced Submarine Mast Assembly)- This mast assembly contains a UHF/VHF frequency radio antenna, with two more auxilary antennae, one medium intensity visual photonic mast, one low-light photonic mast, one directed radar mast, and one general emergency antenna. Entire mast assembly can be hydraulically lowered into conning tower or select portions can be hydraulically lifted (such as photonic masts).
Crew: 18 Officers, 161 Enlisted
Unit Cost- $1.67 Billion USD :wink:
