	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Amphion class submarine
		The Amphion class (also known as the "A" class) of diesel-electric submarines were ordered by the Admiralty in 1943.
		They were an enlargement of the T class, arranged for fast, simple construction and to utilise much of the materials and equipment set-aside for the T boats.
		The Amphion class served the Royal Navy for almost three decades, and was gradually replaced with the Porpoise[?] and Oberon[?] classes.

		The Amphion class (also known as the "A" class and Acheron class) of diesel-electric submarines were ordered by the British Admiralty in 1943, upon the realisation after Pearl Harbour that the new Pacific theatre of war needed a new type of submarine.
		Wartime experience had shown that submarines had to operate at greater distances from the United Kingdom - in the Far East and Mediterranean for example; and with larger patrol areas than had been foreseen, and consequently the A class was slightly larger and had greater range and habitability than the T class.
		The Amphion class served the Royal Navy for almost three decades as the backbone of the Royal Naval Submarine Service, and was gradually replaced with the Porpoise and Oberon patrol classes that began to be phased in 1958.

	Amphion class submarine
		The Amphion class was the only new British design produced during World War II.
		It was faster and had a greater range than its predecessors, the hull was entirely welded, and it was quieter underwater.
		After World War II various modifications were made to these Overseas Patrol Submarines, as they were known.

		Submarines are useful to a military because they can approach their attack victim without necessarily being detected, then strike at close range.
		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by American David Bushnell that accommodated a single man. During the American Revolutionary War, the Turtle attempted and failed to sink a British warship, the HMS Eagle in New York harbor on September 7, 1776.
		In 2000, a Russian Oscar II -class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in a torpedo made it blow inside.

	Submarine
		The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K-8 in 1970, K-219 in 1986, and Komsomolets in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines—1000 m).
		In 2000, a Russian Oscar II-class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in the forward torpedo room caused a spontaneous detonation of the warhead.
		Submarines are popular subjects for films due to the danger, drama and claustrophobia of being on a submarine, and the suspense of the cat-and-mouse game of submarine or anti-submarine warfare.

	HMS A1 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		She was the lead ship of the first British A-class of submarines (a second, much different A (for Amphion) class submarine appeared towards the end of the Second World War), and the only one to have a single bow torpedo tube.
		She was accidentally sunk in the Solent on March 18 1904 whilst carrying out a practice attack on HMS Juno by being struck on the starboard side of the conning tower by a mail steamer, SS Berwick Castle which was en route from Southampton to Hamburg.
		One consequence was that all subsequent Royal Navy submarines were equipped with a watertight hatch at the bottom of the conning tower.

	(1943 - 1977) - A Class Submarines
		These new A Class submarines were basically an enlargement of the T Class, with a construction that was simple, fast and so arranged as to utilize many of the materials set aside for the T boats.
		The A Class, perhaps the most successful of all traditional' types of pre-nuclear submarine, were fitted with an effective air-conditioning system: air warning radar which could function at periscope depth: a high flared bow for excellent sea performance: formidable armament of ten 21-inch torpedo tubes, and had an appreciably reduced underwater noise level.
		Similar to the S Class, but with a weaker armament, they were a sensible addition to the Fleet, and served mainly in the Atlantic - where P.615 was torpedoed by a U-Boat in 1943.

	The A Class Submarine
		Arrangements were made for four of the class to be fitted with Admiralty 6 cylinder engines instead of 8 cylinder engines as for the rest of the class due to difficulties of supply.
		The resistance of the converted Seraph was estimated to be 55% of that for the unconverted vessel.
		Soon after this the three operational submarines were cancelled and replaced, in the 1945 (revised) programme, by an experimental type of submarine using the hydrogen peroxide turbine, with the object of obtaining experience with the turbine and in the control and other problems of high speed submarines.

		Submarines named HMS Astute, HMS Ambush and HMS Artful have all been in service before - they where all part of the A Class of submarine that where built during the 1940s.
		The Amphion (A) Class was originally designed to replace the T Class, which were too slow and unable to dive deep enough for potential deployment in Pacific waters during World War II.
		The A class were also fitted with a snort or snorkel mast enabling the diesels to be operated underwater, greatly increasing their range and reducing their indiscretion rate.

		She was one of 16 submarines of her class which were originally designed for use in the Pacific Ocean against Japan.
		She was sent to the submarine tender HMS Montclare at Rothesay, as part of the 3rd Submarine Flotilla, before joining her sisters HMS Amphion, Astute, Auriga, Aurochs and the submarine tender HMS Adamant in the British Pacific Fleet.

	Ship class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States Navy, a class is always named after the lead ship; that is, the first ship of that class to be approved by Congress, which, due numbering conventios, is almost always the ship of the class with the lowest hull number..
		In addition to the accepted European convention, some classes have been named after a common theme in the included ships' names, eg, Tribal class destroyers, and some classes were implemented as an organizational tool, making traditional methods of naming inefficient.
		Most destroyer classes were known by the initial letter used in naming the vessels, eg, V and W class destroyers.

		While there was considerable variation amongst the boats of the class, they were around 100 ft (30 m) long and displaced around 200 tons when submerged.
		All of the class were propelled underwater by battery-powred electric motors and on the surface by shaft-drive Wolseley petrol engines of 400bhp (A1), 450bhp (A2-4) or 600bhp (A5-12), except for A13 which had an experimental 500bhp Vickers diesel engine plant, which proved unreliable.
