T-10 "Diplomat" SBP
SBP - Once Agian, An Other Revolution
With nearly everything the United Pysiers has come up with (and its' line of radical Presidentes) there has been a new designation. Witht he first being the Presence Armored Unit (PU), then the Anti-Aircraft Submarine (SSV), and after ten or so more, the SBP, or better known as the Submercipal Battle Platform. This designation however is not all Truitti however. In World War II, the designning of a massive submercipal base, named Project Y Boat, was set in. The Germans however cancelled the project just after ten months from its starting point due to funds needed for the U-Boat Fleet and the war effort agenst Britian and Swedan and thier navies.
After the Cold War, French researcher found a document of the project, and gave the ship a NATO designation, SCP (Submercipal Combat Platform). When the French looked into this technology, they made a propossal for a European-joint project, which no one wanted such a large mamoth of the seas in the peace-time world. Thus, the SCP was lost...or was it? Revived, the SBP is a larger, more armed version of the SCP, which the SCP was designned for mainly transport and firring at large ships (like the aircraft carriers and battleships comming around) but the need for hand to hand combat with newer missles and long-range ordanance, and thus, the SBP.
Its main role would provide the cover of thirty submarines, no matter the role. If it is even ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare), the SBP could do it with its many torpedo tubes. If the need for missle support was needed, the SBP would play as a missle silo that can go under water and move. The exact power of the Diplomat is so amazing if used in the Joint-Role as it is known as, it could be a mahor problem for those large dreadnaughts and even medium-altitude zepplins. Its missles, torpedo, and cargo abilities however were not the main reason the Truitti Government put money torwards the now called Project Y-Ship, but the ability to house, repair, and restock submarines and small surface ships.
Powerplant (I)
Almost everyone knows from naval common sense that this large beast would not be diesel powered. So, two large Type-227 Pebblebed Nuclear Reactor was implaced, the same one used on the Truitti Aura TFS Mk2. This however only gave the large beast a submerged maximum speed that equal to that of a Seawolf SSN, and the need to out run an enemy submarine, or at least put up a good chase, was needed by a far shot. Also, the problem of the large rudder in the rear being shot was an other problem. So, three smaller Type-616 Pebblebed Nuclear Reactors were implaced. One on each side and one in the very rear near the two Type-227. With those are a complecated system of screws that are located all along the bottom, smaller versions of the popular Adio Screw / Rudder System. This allows for a speed, if all reactors and screws are operational (and of cource, safely running without melt-down caution), for 43 knots, a speed some submarines can barely push, and most quick-attack surface patrol ships could barely hold.

(NOTE: The reactors tend to change in thier location with a nation's order to keep the location of the powerplants random in most cases. These are just saying the standerd arrangment)
Storage, Armor, Hull, and Side Arms (II)
The Diplomat was designned origanally with a large hull of mainly steel and titanium. The weight however made it slow, so many inches of steel was taken away, lowering its maximum depth and amount of hits from torpedoes, missles, and bombs it could take. Since the armor was taken away from this heavy weight, torpedo systems were implaced in what little room there was.
Twenty torpedo tubes of random and precise sizes are placed on each side, which those pod-like things on each side are called "Captor Tubes" becouse of the tube-like figure infront of them. The Captor Tubes are also where the side-mounted internal screws are for back-up or full-speed operations and directly under them are where four of the five Adio systems are. The total storage of each Captor Tube is roughly 130 tonnes, and for ordanance and such there is enough for fourty torpedo shelves (each shelf holding four torpedoes; 40*4=160 total torpedoes per Captor Tube), fuel for conventional nuclear reactors and diesel engines to last a non-stop voyage three years (all together), and twenty four VLS Missles.
The armor on each Captor Tube is as follows. 5" Reenforced Steel Compossite; 7" Tight Sheets Y4; 2" Acustic "Froffy Cover" Material; 3" Depleded Uranium Plates. This was however the maximum amount that could be put on due to speed and bulk characteristics.
(NOTE: These statistics are for one Captor Tube, not both of them)
Storage
Torpedoes:160
VTL Missles: 24
Other Cargo / Fuel: 130-150 tonnes [Depending on Fuel (Nuclear less, diesel more)]
Armament: 20 Torpedo Tubes (Various sizes as follows)
533mm: 8
650mm: 7
750mm: 5
Main Body, Main Armor, Air Support, Submarine Support and Silo Missle Launchers (III)
The main body is called the "Main Tube;" how original. Well, it is the center of the most powerful role of the Diplomat, the Silo Missle Tubes. Next to that is its heavy armor (although not as armored as the Captor Tubes) and the ability to support itself with small support submarines (mainly of a two-three person size) and aircraft (when surfaced).
The missles are not what you might have thought. "Wow, a big BLEEP submarine that has everything has small Tomahawk missles for support." That is true, it does in the front section, but these missles in the Main Tube are the size of those large missles you would launch from a silo hidden in a mountain or something to hit an enemy, be it balistic, nuclear, or explosia. The range of the missles depend of cource on the missle, but most missles require the need to surface completely, so the surface ship and air hostile units were a clear and present danger, and thus, the first helicopter-submergibal carrier was made!
The Diplomat also has the same role of a small Helicopter Aircraft Carrier. Although in later versions the deck will be longer for VTOL Fighters, the variant now says only helicopters. Now, the four-choper deck is located just below the front section of the Diplomat, meanning nothign can go straight up or down. Hydrolic systems are implaced to move the deck torwards the missle silos to give a clearer launch. This allows for the surface parking to be doubled from four to eight, and since each helicopter sits on a mobile launch unit, it can go from parking to pad within secounds.
Well, when surfaced, the Diplomat would be a sitting duck, litterally. So, the need for water support agenst submarines and ships was needed, even if the helicopters could perform these operations. So, when looking at the photographs, you see two large circular opennings on each side right under the Helicopter Pad. This is where two-three man submarines (like the Truitti Terroist SSA) can be docked. Now, it looks like these submarines could bump into the walls and damage itself and the Diplomat, well, that is true. But besides the fact that Truitt has some of the most skilled and deadly submarine crews, there was still the idea "We need a backup plan and to make everyone who buys these things happy. Why not make a material linning the inside and some space around the openning? Hell, do the same to the bottom opennings!" So, a rubber-like retractable foamy material was made. It is separation-resestant, meanning if it is hit by a torpedo it will not break into bits easily, and is like rubber in the since of it absorbing shock and such. However, it also is soft, and can act like a sponge when hit by say a submarine side hitting it, but shielding both from a metallic hit. A good example is to say that it is like pushing a sponge on the side of a faucet, it forms around it from tis original shape, and then retracks back. Now, the bays which the small submarines go into also close to allow the tube to halfway drain to allow for crew escape into the Diplomat. Four small support submarines can be used in these tubes, not including those allowed for the bottom release section.
Back to the silo missles and their launchers. Besides the fact of twenty of these launchers are located ontop of the Diplomat, fifty missles can be stored, meanning that the power of these can equal to say 200 tomahawk missles if the warheads are large. This would also help becouse of the range of the missles are usually pasted 100 nautical miles, and they launch quickly. There however are tiems when missle sizes change and get smaller. In this case, robotic arms are used on the sides of the silos to hold these missles until launch, which they release. They are heat, impact, and shock resistant. In the case of larger missles (which of cource the role would be needed sooner or later) the two rear silos (for helicopter safety the rear was used for this instead of the front) can expand ten feet wider. How is this possable you might ask? Well, the silo is made of plates and robotic arms already. What fi the plates (with the robatoic arms inside) expanded. Sure, possable with hydrolic and electric systems, but what about that open space inbetween silos that is now open? Well, besides the fact that they are designned to have three missles hit the silo doors and still seal itself and live to fight an other day, but stored away in-empty space panels and plates are robotically (with robotic systems already installed standerdly) placed inbetween the opennings. The plates and pensl are designned to seal themselves up automatically air-tight, and thus, a new missle can be loaded (the loading door is already 11ft larger than needed from the smallest size and the silo door is automatically 14ft wider than needed in all silos). This is a great revolution in design and technology.
The armor on the Main Tube is as follows. 7" Reenforced Steel Compossite; 8" Tight Sheets Y4; 2" Acustic "Froffy Cover" Material; 4" Depleded Uranium Plates. The overall weight and strength is 85% (15% less than) of the Captor Tubes' strength and weight but heavily reenforced with all materials and a little mroe steel and Tight Sheets on the silo doors and surroundings.
Frontal Manuvering, Internal Transport, and Stablizing (IV)
The front of the Diplomat, or the "Spear" (Easily seen by its shape), is the location of the most strategic actions done. Besides the fact of the extra sections for support torpedoes and smaller missles and torpedoes, it has the main manuvering tool besides the rear flaps and balast tanks, the Shark Fin. The whole fin is actually a large vertical stabilizer, simular to that of a fighter jet's. Made of 9" of Reenforced Steel Compossite and 3" of Tight Sheets Y4, the Shark Fin can move on a large axle instead of flaps and alierons, acting like a flap itself intirely.
Next is the little bit of pipe-like things connecting the Captor Tubes with the Spear. They are called the "Captor Lines," simple and to the point. The Captor System is a system of highly-powered equipment and sensors. This is the location of most sensors and such, expecially for the loading and unloading of submarines from both the front and side small tubes and bottom bay. This is also called the ATC (Aircraft Traffic Controller) of the submarine world, the STC (Submarine Traffic Controller). It is also a vital line of direct transport of supplies and materials from the Captor Tubes to the Spear using the "Fish Line."
The Fish Line is a system running through-out the whole boat. It has its starting point at the point in the middle of the Main Tube, inbetween the Captor Lines. It uses mainly electric-powered cars to transport people and small things, including a single torpedo or two, but when it comes to the large missles, mass torpedoes, supplies, and people, larger vehicls were needed. Thus, a rail using magnets was used. Although surrounded by magenets to equal out the magnetic rays to stop any form getting just a few feet from the rails, this magnet bullet train inside the Diplomat can move almost anything and anyone quickly from the rear engines to the front command center within minutes. Also, since there are thirteen levels on the Diplomat, there are four levels of these train-like vehicles and rails with two sets on each level. This allows for fast movement of anything, and as a plus, the magnets are silent.
Frontal Submarine Support and Torpedo / Missle Tubes (V)
The front of the Spear holds a large garage for support submarines, able to load-launch two at once (per tube) and store up to eight inside its half-drain garage. The Spear also has where the VLS and Frontal Assualt Tubes are located. here are only twelve VLS (Vertical Launch System) tubes on the whole front end of the Diplomat, but its storage is at thirty four. The torpedo tubes come in the two digits for a maximum of 12 650mm tubes and 28 533mm tubes. Storage for these go up to 56 in all.
The "Dorsel" (VI)
The Dorsel is the large thing comming up from the Spear. It has many good points, and is also a place where the Air Traffic Controller and Battle Commanders can overlook the scene. Added on, it is also the highest point in the whole ship, and it also is the place of the air defence systems.
Located ontop of the Dorsel are two Nationalist Anti-Missle / Anti-Aircraft System and Suite. It allows for great range in radar and further sight through a large battle in the dark. Also, as a new addition, the small flaps on each side are only for stablization, hydrofoils really. Also, the top pod-like thing where the lookout window is can also depart from the Diplomat into its own submarine. Although its torpedo tubes are automatically loaded with its four Truitti Mk50 Mod1 "Republican Capitalist" Torpedoes (533mm), there is storage for four more onboard. Also equipped inside the pod is the ability to carry 120 other men and women, and is roughly the size of a Terroist SSA x2. It has a small diesel engine that already has its batteries pre-charged and is fully loaded with an other tank full next to the engine.
The other main thing about the Dorsel is that it holds the most shielding of any other part of the Diplomat becouse it is likely to be hit the most from enemy craft. It has 8" of Reenforced Steel Compossite; 10" Tight Sheets Y4; and of cource the 2" of the Acustic "Froffy Cover" Material and 5" Depleded Urnaium Plates.
The Submarine Garage
This is the main thing that people might want to know. The garage itself is directly under the Main Tube, but the Main Tube also acts as the storage for the garage. The openning right below the Main Tube can open and close by a slideing automatic door and the door is just as armored as the rest of the Main Tube.
The door will usually be open in any battle with many submarines out there since the door takes a while to open and close, and there is no problem really. The submarines get right below the openning, and turn both their ballast tanks on, right through the openning. Now, since water will not flow upwards due to gravity (thank God or the design would be complex!) the water level is right where the hull around the opennings began. This means that submarines that "surface" if you will, feel, even if moving, rather comfortable. Also in the case of rapid change in direction, maximum speed (which maximum docking and loading speed by the way is 15 knots) is reached, or severe combat is comming or happening, the doors can close with large powerful crane-like systems from the roofing of the bottom floor will come down and litterally, pick up the submarine and place it in a parking ramp by the openning. A maximum of 14 Seawolf-sized submarines can be stored, and smaller submarines like Terroists and such, can be placed in mass inside one ramp. It all depends since the Diplomat automatically has in storage the pods and stands to hold submarines of all shapes and sizes.
Now, once agian, what if the incomming submarine hits the side of the Diplomat? Well, like the smaller tubes for the smaller support submarines, there is a rubber-like material lineing the whole bottom of the Main Tube. This also helps if a sea floor hug is needed for some reason. Also, in case of some emergancy, the 8 garages bellow the body can flood and unflood, and for any reason, become air-dry within secounds from a powerful system of heating vats and fans located internally inbetween the armor, bottom and side covering. This could also help for getting more submarines in the garage in a quicker time

Besides the fact of the extra sections for support torpedoes and smaller missles and torpedoes, it has the main manuvering tool besides the rear flaps and balast tanks, the Shark Fin. The whole fin is actually a large vertical stabilizer, simular to that of a fighter jet's. Made of 9" of Reenforced Steel Compossite and 3" of Tight Sheets Y4, the Shark Fin can move on a large axle instead of flaps and alierons, acting like a flap itself intirely.
Next is the little bit of pipe-like things connecting the Captor Tubes with the Spear. They are called the "Captor Lines," simple and to the point. The Captor System is a system of highly-powered equipment and sensors. This is the location of most sensors and such, expecially for the loading and unloading of submarines from both the front and side small tubes and bottom bay. This is also called the ATC (Aircraft Traffic Controller) of the submarine world, the STC (Submarine Traffic Controller). It is also a vital line of direct transport of supplies and materials from the Captor Tubes to the Spear using the "Fish Line."
The Fish Line is a system running through-out the whole boat. It has its starting point at the point in the middle of the Main Tube, inbetween the Captor Lines. It uses mainly electric-powered cars to transport people and small things, including a single torpedo or two, but when it comes to the large missles, mass torpedoes, supplies, and people, larger vehicls were needed. Thus, a rail using magnets was used. Although surrounded by magenets to equal out the magnetic rays to stop any form getting just a few feet from the rails, this magnet bullet train inside the Diplomat can move almost anything and anyone quickly from the rear engines to the front command center within minutes. Also, since there are thirteen levels on the Diplomat, there are four levels of these train-like vehicles and rails with two sets on each level. This allows for fast movement of anything, and as a plus, the magnets are silent.
Frontal Submarine Support and Torpedo / Missle Tubes (V)
The front of the Spear holds a large garage for support submarines, able to load-launch two at once (per tube) and store up to eight inside its half-drain garage. The Spear also has where the VLS and Frontal Assualt Tubes are located. here are only twelve VLS (Vertical Launch System) tubes on the whole front end of the Diplomat, but its storage is at thirty four. The torpedo tubes come in the two digits for a maximum of 12 650mm tubes and 28 533mm tubes. Storage for these go up to 56 in all.
The "Dorsel" (VI)
The Dorsel is the large thing comming up from the Spear. It has many good points, and is also a place where the Air Traffic Controller and Battle Commanders can overlook the scene. Added on, it is also the highest point in the whole ship, and it also is the place of the air defence systems.
Located ontop of the Dorsel are two Nationalist Anti-Missle / Anti-Aircraft System and Suite. It allows for great range in radar and further sight through a large battle in the dark. Also, as a new addition, the small flaps on each side are only for stablization, hydrofoils really. Also, the top pod-like thing where the lookout window is can also depart from the Diplomat into its own submarine. Although its torpedo tubes are automatically loaded with its four Truitti Mk50 Mod1 "Republican Capitalist" Torpedoes (533mm), there is storage for four more onboard. Also equipped inside the pod is the ability to carry 120 other men and women, and is roughly the size of a Terroist SSA x2. It has a small diesel engine that already has its batteries pre-charged and is fully loaded with an other tank full next to the engine.
The other main thing about the Dorsel is that it holds the most shielding of any other part of the Diplomat becouse it is likely to be hit the most from enemy craft. It has 8" of Reenforced Steel Compossite; 10" Tight Sheets Y4; and of cource the 2" of the Acustic "Froffy Cover" Material and 5" Depleded Urnaium Plates.
The Submarine Garage
This is the main thing that people might want to know. The garage itself is directly under the Main Tube, but the Main Tube also acts as the storage for the garage. The openning right below the Main Tube can open and close by a slideing automatic door and the door is just as armored as the rest of the Main Tube.
The door will usually be open in any battle with many submarines out there since the door takes a while to open and close, and there is no problem really. The submarines get right below the openning, and turn both their ballast tanks on, right through the openning. Now, since water will not flow upwards due to gravity (thank God or the design would be complex!) the water level is right where the hull around the opennings began. This means that submarines that "surface" if you will, feel, even if moving, rather comfortable. Also in the case of rapid change in direction, maximum speed (which maximum docking and loading speed by the way is 15 knots) is reached, or severe combat is comming or happening, the doors can close with large powerful crane-like systems from the roofing of the bottom floor will come down and litterally, pick up the submarine and place it in a parking ramp by the openning. A maximum of 14 Seawolf-sized submarines can be stored, and smaller submarines like Terroists and such, can be placed in mass inside one ramp. It all depends since the Diplomat automatically has in storage the pods and stands to hold submarines of all shapes and sizes.
Now, once agian, what if the incomming submarine hits the side of the Diplomat? Well, like the smaller tubes for the smaller support submarines, there is a rubber-like material lineing the whole bottom of the Main Tube. This also helps if a sea floor hug is needed for some reason. Also, in case of some emergancy, the 8 garages bellow the body can flood and unflood, and for any reason, become air-dry within secounds from a powerful system of heating vats and fans located internally inbetween the armor, bottom and side covering. This could also help for getting more submarines in the garage in a quicker time
