	Submarine B-871 ("Alrosa") - Project 877V / Kilo class submarine
		The Kilo Class (Project 877) submarine was designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare in the protection of naval bases, coastal installations and sea lanes, and also for general reconnaissance and patrol missions.
		The submarine consists of six watertight compartments separated by transverse bulkheads in a pressurised double-hull.
		The submarine is equipped with six 533mm forward torpedo tubes situated in the nose of the submarine and carries 18 torpedoes with six in the torpedo tubes and twelve stored on the racks.

	X class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X class was a World War II midget submarine class built for the Royal Navy during 1943–44.
		The X class submarines' weapons were two side-cargoes - explosive charges each held on opposite sides of the hull with two tons of explosive (amatol) each.
		Operations continued in the Far East with the revised XE class submarines.

	(1939 - 1952) Midget Submarines
		By September 1943, the six X5 Class midget submarines and their hand-picked, highly trained crews were ready to undertake a mission that was to write a chapter in the history of submarine warfare.
		As can be expected, towing midgets reduced the endurance of submarines - the S Class, for example, had a 30 per cent reduction in endurance, and the comparable figure for the larger T Class was 5 1/2 per cent.
		Midget submarines were used to reconnoitre landing beaches, etc prior to the Normandy invasion in June 1944, and on D-Day itself several acted as navigation beacons well inshore to guide the first assault wave.

	S Class
		In the late 1920's and early 1930's it was decided that two main type of patrol submarine would meet the future requirements of the Long Range Overseas Patrol Submarine, a medium sized type for confined waters and a slightly larger one for overseas.
		It was intended to maintain the quick diving and the manageable handling of the 'H' class whilst submerged, combined with the long range qualities of the 'O','P' and 'R' classes.
		This class was in production for over 15 years and was the largest single group of submarines built for the Royal Navy.

	Submarine Heritage Centre - Art Gallery - D Class
		So, the "D" Class submarine is the ideal portrait to represent both the station and its volunteer crews.
		The D Class was the Admiralty's first attempt to produce a submarine that could carry out extended patrols away from coastal areas.
		The D Class submarines were considered to be so innovative, that D1 was built in the utmost secrecy in a securely guarded building shed.

	OBERON class submarine
		These submarines were very quiet for their day, and stayed in service with various Navies past the year 2000.
		The final member of this class, HMS ONYX, was the only conventional submarine to see service in the Falkland's War of 1982, where she was used for special operations in and around the islands.
		Two unidentified OBERON class subs lie alongside; this is a good study in contrast, as the outside sub has recieved the new Triton sonar, while the inside (background) sub has not.

	U.S. Submarines
		Following this class shortly was the first class of "fleet submarines", designed as large vessels with high endurance and speed to support the battlefleet.
		The next class, the T-class, was already the prototype for the Gato/Balao class, and these two classes, barely distuinguishable after the refits, would be the primary tools of the US submarine force to destroy the Japanese merchant navy.
		These submarines were a powerful tool of warfare, and were almost solely responsible for the decimation of the Japanese merchant fleet.

	B Class
		The 'B' Class were an improvement on the 'A' Class and the Holland both in terms of endurance and conditions for the rather larger crew of two officers and thirteen ratings and almost doubling the displacement of the 'A' Class.
		A deck casing was fitted to this class in the hope of improving movement about the boat when surfaced.This Class was also the first British submarine to be built with a second pair of hydroplanes in addition to those fitted astern.
		Still rather limited in endurance and meant for defensive purposes.The two 18 inch torpedo tubes in this class were angled downwards in the belief that torpedoes would be discharged while the submarine rose to the surface.

		The first eight Ohio class submarines (Tridents) were originally equipped with 24 Trident I C-4 ballistic missiles.
		The first four Ohio-class submarines are scheduled for conversion over the next five years to guided missile submarines (SSGN) with an additional capability to transport and support Navy special operations forces.
		The Ohio class submarine replaced aging fleet ballistic missile submarines built in the 1960s and is far more capable.

	A-Class Submarine - HMS Andrew
		A Class submarines that were under construction in the closing stages of World War 2 were involved in a radical programme of modification in the early 1950s.
		The A Class had been primarily designed for war in the Pacific and carried more fuel to enable them to cover the vast distances in that theatre of war.
		Sixteen A Class boats were built with most of them constructed by Vickers Armstrongs at Barrow, although some were built at one or two other commercial yards and one at Chatham Dockyard.

	Japanese B Class Submarine
		The Japanese submarine I-26 fired between twenty-five and thirty rounds of 5.5 inch shells directly at the station.
		Accounts published after the war left no doubt that the shellfire came from a submarine's deck gun and Commander Yokota of the Japanese submarine I-26 freely admitted to the attack.
		The lights of the outer coast stations were turned off to prevent their use by submarines, virtually paralysing the shipping that remained on the coast during the war years.

		Eight of the class without vertical missile launchers, however, may be refueled to extend their service and increase the numbers of active submarines; SSN 719 and later are now planned to remain in service for 33 years each.
		SSN 691 was redesignated an experimental submarine during 1989 to test composite hull structures, unmanned underwater vehicles, advanced sonars, hull friction reduction, and so forth for the SSN 688 and SSN 21 classes but remains combat-capable.
		Displacing some 30 tons when the submarine is submerged, they are 11.58 m long by 2.74 m high and wide and are expected to remain in use for about 40 years each.

		The estimated total cost for the three Seawolf class submarines is $13.1243 billion, or roughly $4.4 billion per submarine.
		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.
		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.

	Submarine Distilling Systems - Chapter 6
		Two (2) units installed on each of the fleet type submarines and, with various alterations, on many of the snorkel submarines.
		All of these units, with the exception of soloshell type, operate on the same basic principles, and since it is beyond the scope of this text to describe them all in detail, the Model X-1 has been selected as typical.
		Submarines were equipped with mechanical cleaning equipment, and for a number of years the mechanical method of cleaning was the only method in common usage; now however, acid cleaning is used almost entirely, and it is expected that the mechanical cleaning gear will be deleted from the ship's allowance.)

	SSN-774 Virginia-class NSSN New Attack Submarine - Navy Ships
		The New Attack Submarine is the first U.S. submarine to be designed for battlespace dominance across a broad spectrum of regional and littoral missions as well as open-ocean, "blue water" missions.
		This wase consistent with the Congressional direction to involve both nuclear submarine shipbuilders; to foster cooperation between the shipbuilders on both construction and design improvements; and to facilitate the cross pollination of knowledge and the insertion of advanced technology.
		The JCS Submarine Force Structure Study, completed in November 1999, concluded that the optimal force structure would be 68 attack submarines by 2015 and 76 by 2025, with the minimum being at least 55 by 2015 and 62 by 2025.

	NEW ATTACK SUBMARINE
		And, 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 a post-NSSN class of submarines begins.
		To achieve this force level, the Navy's current plan is to retire all pre-Los Angeles class subs, and then 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.
		The Ohio class ballistic missile submarines' service life of 30 years was extended to 40 years, and it is not unreasonable to expect that the Los Angeles class could undergo a similar program.

	Upholder/Victoria class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Upholder/Victoria-class submarines also known as the Type 2400 (due to their displacement of 2,400t) are diesel-electric hunter-killer (SSK) submarines designed in the UK in the late 1970s to supplement the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine force.
		The submarines are packed with technology generally found only on nuclear-power submarines and are still widely regarded as being among the best diesel-electric submarines in the world.
		They are essentially identical to modern nuclear submarines (with the distinctive nuclear shape and sonar-absorbing tiles) but run on diesel engines instead of nuclear reactors (which limits their range, but conversely makes them quieter and more manoeuvrable).

	Congress Backs DD(X), Littoral Ship
		Though House and Senate authorizers formally agreed last week to impose a $2.3 billion cost cap on the fifth ship in the DD(X) class, this is not as harsh as the cost limit House authorizers proposed earlier this year.
		Authorizers prohibited the Navy from pursuing a winner-take-all acquisition strategy that would lead to only one yard building the entire class, but this is no surprise given Congress' previous statements on the issue.
		Significantly, authorizers agreed to require the Navy to begin a program to design and develop a next-generation submarine that would be a successor to the Virginia-class boats.

		All the 30 Kilo-class submarines built for service with the Russian Navy are designated Project 877, although 15 of these are the earlier-developed 877EKM and 15 the later 636 versions.
		In the spring of 1997, the first Project 636 submarine was launched, and China became the first customer for this submarine.
		China is also said to be interested in purchasing several more 636 series submarines, one of which is now in an unfinished state at the Krasnoye Sormovo yard in Nizhniy Novgorod, while others may be built at the Admiralteyskiye Verfi [Admiralty Shipyards] in St Petersburg.
