	Sierra class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sierra class is the NATO reporting name for two types of nuclear-powered submarines that was originally constructed by the Soviet Union in the latter years of the Cold War.
		The Sierra I units were completed in the mid-1980s, while the two modified Sierra II boats entered service in 1992 and 1993.
		Project 945 was initiated in March 1972, under the direction of Chief designer N.E. Kvasha of TsKB-112 Lazurit and was an enlarged version of the Alpha class submarine with a titanium hull.

	Sierra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Sierra remained at Norfolk until 1959, aptly coping with the heavy demand by destroyers for repairs, which was her primary duty.
		Sierra sailed for the Mediterranean on 30 June 1959 for her third deployment with the 6th Fleet and returned to Norfolk on 13 December to continue her work as destroyer tender.
		Sierra was out of the yard and able to resume her normal work routine on 15 September.

	Sierra Class - Project 945
		The Sierra-I class had six major compartments: (1) the torpedo room, and battery, (2) crew quarters, officers mess and galley, (3) command center, computer complex, and diesel generators, (4) reactor, (5) main switchboard, pumps and geared turbines, (6) electric motors, steering gear and pumps.
		The 945.A project (Sierra II) differs from the Sierra I in that the sonar capability of the Sierra II is better and has a reduced acoustic signature.
		In contrast to the six compartments on the Sierra-I, the Sierra-II had seven compartments: (1) the torpedo room, and battery, (2) crew quarters, officers mess and galley, (3) sonar room and command center, (4) computer complex, and diesel generators, (5) reactor, (6) main switchboard, pumps and geared turbines, (7) electric motors, steering gear and pumps.

	Submarine Collision off Murmansk: A Look from Afar - by Eugene Miasnikov
		US reconnaissance photos of the Sierra reportedly showed a large dent in the front section of her sail structure and indicate that the Russian submarine's sail may have hit the underneath aft section of the Baton Rouge.
		Sierra class submarine would only be a couple hundred meters - even if the acoustic conditions for detection were nearly ideal and the submarine was oriented so that its sensors could achieve maximum sensitivity.
		The Russian submarine probably moved at a low speed of 4-7 knots, since motion with a higher speed would increase the flow noise in the hydrophones and decrease her detection capabilities, which might be dangerous in a shipping area.

	Akula Class / Bars-class / Project 971
		Designated the "Akula" class by the West, and also widely known as the Bars (Snow Leopard) class, the submarine is reported to be officially designated Project 971 Shuka B (shuka is an aggressive breed of fresh water pike).
		The active submarines of this class are in restricted service to conserve their remaining reactor core lives.
		The submarine, to be leased for three years at a price of $25 million for it, was expected to arrive in Vishakapatnam in early 2002.

	SEAWOLF SUBMARINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		And second, the Navy claims that the construction of SSN-23 is necessary to preserve the industrial base in nuclear submarine construction until the next class of attack submarines (the NSSNs) commences in FY98.
		And third, it is not true that most of the skills needed for nuclear submarine construction would "wither away" and have to be reconstituted if no more subs were produced until construction on the NSSN begins.
		To achieve this force level, the Navy will retire all pre-Los Angeles class subs, and will retire the first ten Los Angeles class subs when they are due for their first overhauls, at about the 15 year mark of their 30 year service life cycles.

	NTI: Submarine: Russia Capabilities
		In 1998, a new SLBM program, "Bulava-30" was launched, and the Borey class had to be redesigned for the new missile; this also doomed Akulas (except for the first submarine in that class, the TK-208, later named Dmitriy Donskoy, which was overhauled to serve as a testing platform for the future SLBM).
		Project 971 began in the mid-1970s and the first submarine in that class was launched in 1984.
		Construction of the latest submarine in that class was completed in May 2005, but the vessel was intended for export.

		They've all had their histories erased, their names taken away (and are only known by their numbers), and declared dead to their family, friends and the rest of the world.

	Congress Should Accelerate Submarine Procurement
		Accelerating production of Virginia class attack submarines to two per year in 2009 will generate economies of scale—the economic condition when the per-unit cost of producing an item declines with the number of units made.
		If the Navy waits to begin procuring two Virginia class submarines per year until 2012, as it currently plans to do, the number of attack submarines will begin a steady decline in 2014 and will free-fall all the way to forty boats in 2028 and 2029.
		Furthermore, the attack submarine fleet will fall short of 48 boats—the minimum level necessary, according to the Navy’s study—for 16 of the years between 2007 and 2034.

	Deep Sea Designs Seawolf Class Submarine Plans
		The Seawolf-class attack submarines (SSN) are quieter than the previous Los Angeles class, faster, have more torpedo tubes, and carry more weapons.
		They use the more advanced AN/BSY-2 combat system, which includes a new larger spherical sonar array, a wide aperture array (WAA), and a new towed-array sonar.
		Originally intended as a fleet of 29 submarines to be built over a ten-year period, the end of the Cold War and budget constraints dropped that number to three and led to the design of the Virginia class submarine.
