The Takashio is Japanese Antarctica's first domestically made nuclear powered SSN.
History
After several years of using the Russian exported Akula Class submarine, the IJAN demanded a replacement. The Akula was a potent attacker, but the IJAN needed something more formidable. Thus, from Syowa Shipyards came the Takashio, meaning High-Flood Tide.
The Takashio features sonar absorbing tiles, low magnetic steel and new sensory equipment. The nuclear reactor and engine, manufactured by Ishikawajima-Harima, pumps out up to 70,000 HP. Like the rest of the ships in the IJAN, it is linked up to the Type-09 combat system, though it is the least effective communicating node of the system, as it is forced to keep silent.
Each submarine is built at the cost of $1.6 Billion per unit. The IJAN has ordered forty for the time being. The first in the series, the Takashio-maru was laid down six months ago.Each are expected to take ten months to build.
Displacement: 6,800 tons surface | ~7,200 tons dive
Length: 105m (344 ft)
Width: 10m (32 ft)
Depth: 10.3m (33 ft)
Draught: 10.5m (34 ft)
Speed: 22 knots surface, 33 knots submerged
Armament: 24 Type-89 Torpedo from six 533mm tubes, 25 USM-3, capable of laying mines
Complement: 80 listed
Systems: Surface radar: ZPS-6 | ESM device: ZLR-3 Kai | Sonar ZQQ-5 (B) ZQR-1 (TASS)
