USS Silversides (SS/AGSS-236) is a Gato-class submarine.

Her keel was laid down on 4 November 1940 by the Mare Island Navy Yard in Vallejo, California. She was launched on 26 August 1941 and commissioned on 15 December 1941.

USS Silversides received twelve battle stars for World War II service, and was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. She is credited with sinking 23 ships, the third-most of any allied World War II submarine, behind only the USS Tang and USS Tautog. The tonnage of the ships sunk by Silversides amounted to 90,080 tons, second only to the Tang's total. Judged by such standards, Silversides has the most prolific combat record of any still-extant American submarine.

Silversides was used for exterior scenes in the 2002 film, Below to depict the fictional USS Tiger Shark. She was towed in Lake Michigan for filming. The movie was a total flop, earning only $589,000 at the box office and went almost unnoticed to film goers across the globe.]]> Submarine USS Silversides (SS-236)

The Redoutable (S 611) was the lead ship of her class of ballistic missile submarine in the French Marine Nationale.

Commissioned on 1 December 1971, she was the first French SNLE (Sous-marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins, "Device-Launching Nuclear Submarine"). She was fitted with 16 M1 ballistic missiles, delivering 450kt at 2000 kilometres. In 1974, she was refitted with the M2 missile, and later with the M20, each delivering a one-megatonne warhead at a range over 3000 kilometres. The Redoutable ("formidable" or "fearsome" in French language) was the only ship of her class not to be refitted with the M4 missile.

The Redoutable had a 20-year duty history, with 51 patrols. She was decommissioned in 1991. In 2000, she was removed from the water in a purpose built dry dock, and over two years was made into an exhibition. This was a monumental task, the biggest of which was removing the Nuclear Reactor and replacing the mid section with an empty steel tube. This opened in 2002, where she is used as a museum ship at the Cité de la mer in Cherbourg, being now the largest submarine open to the public.]]> French ballistic missile sub Redoutable (S 611)

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666."

USS Hawkbill was built by Mare Island Naval Shipyard and launched on April 12, 1969. She is a Sturgeon (637) Class Fast Attack Submarine. Length is 292 feet; beam is 32 feet, displacement is 4060 tons; crew is 120 men. The last of the Sturgeons, she officially was decommissioned 3/15/2000 and was scrapped soon thereafter. The sail was shipped to the Idaho Science Center in Arco, Idaho to be part of a museum. ]]> Conning tower from the USS Hawkbill (SSN 666)

Two November class and one Echo I class subs.

The Project 627 (NATO - November) class submarine was the Soviet Union's first class of nuclear-powered submarines. Built between 1952-1958.

The Soviet Echo I class (Project 659 class) were completed at Komsomolsk in the Soviet far east in 1960 to 1962. The Echo I class were classed as SSGNs armed with six launchers for the P-5 Pyatyorka (SS-N-3C, "Shaddock-B") cruise missile. The Echo I class had to operate in a strategic rather than attack role because of the lack of fire control and guidance radars.]]> Decommissioned Soviet nuclear subs

The Los Angeles class, sometimes called the LA-class or the 688-class, is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) that forms the backbone of the United States submarine fleet. With 46 submarines, this class has more boats than any other nuclear powered submarine class in the world.

The final 23 boats in the series, referred to as "688i" boats, are quieter than their predecessors and incorporate a more advanced combat system. These 688i boats are also designed for under-ice operations: their diving planes are on the bow rather than on the sail, and they have reinforced sails.]]> Fast Attack Los Angeles (688i) Class Submarine

The final 23 boats in the series, referred to as "688i" boats, are quieter than their predecessors and incorporate a more advanced combat system. These 688i boats are also designed for under-ice operations: their diving planes are on the bow rather than on the sail, and they have reinforced sails.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/fast-attack-los-angeles-688i-class-submarine/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/fast-attack-los-angeles-688i-class-submarine/ Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:55:35 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/fast-attack-los-angeles-688i-class-submarine/ 30.39585000 -81.41517800 <![CDATA[Russian sub in Petropavlosk bay]]> Russian sub in Petropavlosk bay

The image dates to May 28th, 2007 - and no port visits are recorded on this date in this port (nor anytime+anywhere close).

The submarine is too short to match the Brazilian navy submarines, SSN or one of the new air-independent-propulsion submarines. Diesel-powered submarines are not made for long transatlantic voyages, so this must be a sub from South America. Argentina, Peru and Colombia operate Type 209/1200 submarines, which fits the length of this submarine. It is most likely an Argentinian submarine, leaving only one choice: the S-31 Salta."]]> Argentine submarine ARA Salta (S31) at sea

The Royal Naval Armament Depot (RNAD) at Coulport, Loch Long is the other major part of HMNB Clyde. RNAD Coulport stores conventional armaments for Royal Navy vessels but is best known for its role in the Trident missile system.

Nuclear weapon storage bunkers have been excavated from a ridge. From here British-designed and built nuclear warheads can be fitted to the Trident missiles (built by Lockheed Martin). Whilst the warheads themselves are British-owned and built, the delivery system is not actually owned by the United Kingdom and instead it has ownership rights to some 58 missiles from a "pool" shared with the U.S. Navy, this is a necessary capability. Whole missiles can be lifted out of or into a submarine, however the missiles are normally serviced at the U.S. Navy facility at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia.

Initial construction took place between 1963, when Faslane was chosen as the new Polaris base, and 1968, when the first Polaris boat began its patrol. Safety considerations required that the armament maintenance and storage facility have its own berth and be at least 4,400 feet from the main facility, whilst operational considerations dictated that the two facilities should be within an hour's sailing time. Coulport, on the opposite peninsula, met both of these requirements. Additional construction took place during the 1980s to support the Trident missile programme.]]> RNAD Coulport Trident nuclear ballistic missile loading facility

The Royal Navy's Swiftsure-class of nuclear fleet submarines (SSN) is the older of the two classes of attack submarine in service with the RN.

Six boats were built and commissioned. HMS Swiftsure was decommissioned in 1992 due to damage suffered to her pressure hull during trials. HMS Splendid followed in 2004 after defence cuts caused a reduction in the size of the RN SSN fleet. HMS Spartan was decommissioned in January 2006, with HMS Sovereign following on 12 September 2006. The remaining two boats in the class are scheduled to be out of service by 2010, with HMS Superb going in 2008, followed by HMS Sceptre. They are being replaced by the Astute-class submarine.

A few can now fire Tomahawk missiles in addition to their original armaments of torpedoes, mines and anti-ship missiles.]]> Swiftsure class nuclear fleet submarine

The SS X-1 was a non-commissioned experimental submarine designed to both defend and penetrate shallow waters and enemy harbors where large conventional submarines can not operate. A unique engineering feature was the closed- loop hydrogen peroxide system that allowed the use of the diesel engine under the water independent from an external air source. This system provided long term underwater operations in much the same manner as a nuclear powered submarine. With the adoption of nuclear power in the USS Nautilus, the US Navy abandoned this method of underwater propulsion, though it has been carried on by other navies.

Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV): Submarines have operated with special operations teams since the days of WWII with Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT), commonly known as "SEALs" (Sea-Air-Land) are used in a variety of clandestine operations. Carried in a special watertight tank "piggybacked" to a submarine, the SDV gives the SEAL team a greater range of stealth, mobility and endurance.

During World War II, the Italian "Maiale" was used to transport frogmen into a harbor or anchorage occupied by enemy ships. When close to an intended target, the frogmen would exit the Maiale, place a mine on the ship's hull, set a timer, return to their mini-sub, and move away from the target, clear of the explosion. Maiale class submarines were used with great effectiveness against British ships anchored in Gibraltar.]]> Italian 'Maiale' and American 'SDV' Swimmer Delivery Vehicles

USS George Washington (SSBN-598), the lead ship of her class of ballistic missile submarines.

Her keel was laid down at Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics, Groton, Connecticut on 1 November 1957. The first boat of the her class, she was launched on 9 June 1959.

She successfully launched the first Polaris missile from a submerged submarine on 20 July 1960.

The USS George Washington was shifted to the Pacific Fleet and was home-ported at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On 9 April 1981, the submarine surfaced underneath the Nissho Maru in the East China Sea about 110 miles south-southwest of Sasebo, Japan.

In 1982, the USS George Washington returned to Pearl Harbor from her last missile patrol. In 1983 her missiles were unloaded at Bangor, Washington, and then she left Pearl Harbor for the last time and transited the Panama Canal back to the Atlantic and to New London.

The USS George Washington was decommissioned on 24 January 1985, was struck from the Naval Vessel Registry on 30 April 1986, and was scheduled for disposal. Her sail was removed prior to disposal and now resides at the Submarine Force Library and Museum, New London, Connecticut. The "Georgefish" made 55 deterrent patrols in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in her 25-year career.]]> Conning tower of the USS George Washington (SSBN-598)

One of the most highly decorated ships of the famous World War II Pacific Submarine Force, USS Parche made six war patrols, earning five battle stars and two Presidential Unit Citation awards.
After decontamination, she proceeded to Mare Island Naval Shipyard at Vallejo, California. She was then decommissioned on December 10, 1946 and moved to joined the moth ball fleet Alameda, California in March 1947. On December 1, 1962 her classification was changed to Auxiliary Submarine, AGSS-384 and assigned as a Naval Reserve Training Submarine in Oakland, California.

Parche's name was stricken from the Navy List on November 8, 1969 and sold on June 18, 1970 for scrap.

USS Roncador (SS/AGSS/IXSS-301), a Balao-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the roncador, a fish, of the family Sciaenidae, found on the west coast of North America.

Roncador (SS-301) was laid down 21 April 1943 by the Cramp Shipbuilding Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; launched 14 May 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Thomas B. Klakring; and commissioned 27 March 1945, Comdr. Earl R. Crawford in command.

Following commissioning, Roncador conducted shakedown exercises into late May and on 26 May arrived at Port Everglades, Fla. Based there for 2 months, she assisted in the development of antisubmarine warfare techniques. On 29 July she got underway for Panama and from 3 August through the end of the war conducted advanced training exercises off the Canal Zone. In late August, she proceeded to Guantanamo Bay, then, in mid-September, headed for the Pacific. She arrived at Pearl Harbor on 3 October and remained in Hawaiian waters into the new year, 1946. On 3 January she got underway for San Francisco and inactivation.

Roncador was decommissioned 1 June 1946 and through the 1950s remained in the inactive fleet. In February 1960 she was taken out of mothballs, placed in reserve, and assigned to Naval Reserve training duty in the 11th Naval District. Redesignated AGSS-301 1 December 1962, she continued that duty, at San Pedro, Calif., until 1 December 1971, at which time she was stricken from the Naval Register, and redesignated Miscellaneous Unclassified Submarine IXSS-301. Was to be used as a Museum at Ports 'O Call in San Pedro, Calif., but she was sold in September 1976 to Nicolai Joffe of Beverly Hills, Calif., and her conning tower was placed in the Navy Museum, Washington, DC prior to Roncador being scrapped. Her conning tower now resides at the Sub Base Point Loma, San Diego Calif. On 01 October 1982 she was listed on the NVR as being disposed of by sale.]]> Conning tower from the USS Roncador (SS-301)

The Albacora class is diesel-electric attack submarine (SSK) developed for the Portuguese Navy based on the French Daphne class submarine.

In 1964, the Portuguese government ordered the construction of four of this class to the Dubigeòn-Normándie Shipyard to create the 4th submarine flotilla.

With the first submarine commissioned in October 1, 1967, the Portuguese Navy started to have a submarine able to operate in both coastal and oceanic zones, especially in the Portuguese exclusive economic zone.

The last Albacora class submarine in service with the Portuguese Navy is expected to be replaced by two 214/209PN submarines in 2009.]]> Portugese submarines NR Albacora (S163), NRP Barracuda (S164) & NRP Delfim (S166)

The Swedish Södermanland class of diesel-electric submarines consist of the HMS Södermanland and HMS Östergötland. These two submarines were originally launched as Västergötland class submarines in 1987 and 1990, and have been relaunched as a new class after extensive modernization 2003 and 2004 by Kockums AB. The pressure hull had been cut in two after the sail and a 12 m long new section with an air-independent propulsion system was inserted. It contains a Stirling engine which is coupled to an electric generator and heated by burning diesel fuel with liquid oxygen stored in cryogenic tanks. The AIP system can provide electric energy to extend the submarine's submerged time from days to weeks.]]> Swedish Södermanland class submarine

USS Boston (SSN-703), a Los Angeles-class submarine, was the seventh ship of the United States Navy to be named for Boston, Massachusetts.

The contract to build Boston was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 10 December 1973 and her keel was laid down on 11 August 1978. She was launched on 19 April 1980 sponsored by Mrs. Edward Hidalgo, and commissioned on 30 January 1982, with Captain Jon M. Barr in command.

In 1998 Boston participated in a UNITAS South America deployment.

Boston was decommissioned on 19 November 1999 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 19 November 1999. Ex-Boston entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, on 1 October 2001 and on 19 September 2002 ceased to exist. Her sail and upper rudder were preserved for display at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park in Buffalo, New York.]]> Conning tower USS Boston (SSN-703)

The German Type 212 is a highly advanced design of non-nuclear U-Boat developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) for the German Navy. It features diesel propulsion with an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens polymer electrolyte module (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells. The submarine can operate at high speed on diesel power or switch to the AIP system for silent slow cruising, staying submerged for up to three weeks without surfacing and with no exhaust heat. The system is also said to be vibration-free, extremely quiet and virtually undetectable.]]> German Type 212 submarine

The Type 206 is a class of diesel-electric U-boats developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche-Werft AG (HDW). Its design is based on the preceding Type 205 submarine class. These small and agile submarines were built in the Cold War era to operate in the shallow Baltic Sea and attack Warsaw Pact shipping if the war had turned hot. The pressure hulls were built out of non-magnetic steel to counter the threat of magnetic naval mines and make detection with MAD sensors more difficult.]]> Two German Type 206 Submarines

HMS Victorious (S29) is the second Vanguard class submarine of the Royal Navy. Victorious carries the Trident ballistic missile, the UK's nuclear deterrent.

Victorious was built at Barrow-in-Furness by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd (now BAE Systems Submarine Solutions), was launched in September 1993, and commissioned in January 1995.

Victorious was involved in minor collision with a United States Coast Guard ship in July 2001. The Coast Guard ship became tangled in the fibre optic cables of the submarine's sonar system which disabled its turbines. Victorious was not damaged in the incident.]]> HMS Victorious (S29) in drydock

The United States has 18 Ohio-class submarines:

* 14 nuclear-powered SSBNs, each armed with 24 Trident II SLBMs; they are also known as "Trident" submarines, and provide the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad of the United States strategic deterrent forces
* 4 nuclear-powered SSGNs, each armed with 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles with conventional warheads

USS Ohio (SSGN-726), the lead ship of her class of nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarines, was the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the 17th state. She was commissioned with the hull designation of SSBN-726, and with her conversion to a conventional missile submarine she was re-designated SSGN-726.]]> USS Ohio (SSGN-726) nuclear submarine returning to Puget Sound
