Length: 175 m (574.15 ft)
Beam: 23 m (74.5 ft)
Draft: 12 m (39.37 ft)
Propulsion: 2×OK-650 pressurized-water nuclear reactors, 2×VV-type
steam turbines, driving 2 shafts mounting 7 blade shrouded propellers
Speed: 12 knots surfaced, 27 knots submerged
Maximum Depth: 425m
Endurance: 180+ days
Armament: 4x660mm TT (24 weapons) [convertible to 585mm with sleeves]
4xmast mounted stinger
Cargo Capacity: 15,000 tons (Cargo Version), 3 Million Gallons (tanker version), 500 Men (Passenger Version)
Countermeasures: 2x2-76mm reloadable launchers, 12xExternal launcher
Radar: AN/SPR-20 air/surface search, AN/SNR-3 navigational
Sonars: AN/BQQ-6C spherical bow array, AN/FQA-10 wide-aperture flank array, AN/BQS-15C active obstacle avoidance, TB-2 towed array
Other: Peepshow Search Periscope, Seatrac Attack Periscope, Carthage Electronics GPS
Integrated Systems: AN/BQY-20 Signal Detection and Direction Finder Suite,
ULQ-10(V)1 ECM/ESM Suite
Crew: 163
Overview: A conversion of a Typhoon Classs SSBN hull, the massive missile bays are removed and replaced with either cargo, liquid, or passenger containers, while the Whaleshark’s bottom hull has been reinforced allowing it to rest on the ocean floor. The unit is extremely quiet with high endurance due to its SSBN heritage making the Whaleshark perfect for smuggling men and supplies past picket lines or stealthily rendezvousing with your fleets to replenish them at sea. Rumours persist that Cobra has taken some of these vessels and turned them into underwater command and control centers.
Cost:
$2.4 Billion SSCN-C(Cargo Version)
$2.45 Billion SSCN-T(Tanker Version)
$2.6 Billion SSCN-P(Passenger Version)
