Default RE: Typhoon static diving mini submarine


ORIGINAL: AQUASUB

Note the very small vertualy inafective bow plians,made that way on perpose to reduce noise and since the primary designe of the sub was for speed they thaught it would be fine to leave them that size,if they built her with larger retractable plains as is done on subs toady she would not have suffered the above missgivings and would have been a much better platform for experimentation.She was very much an experimental submarine that revolutionized sub designe but not completly as they are today.
Later they where completly removed with very bad results,even the hole project was eventualy canceled due to the powerplant constantly failing,something the Russians exceled at in the Alfa,she had speed and endurance along with impecable heigh speed manuevrability and very deep diveing capabilities all of these atributes are also seen on modern nukes today and even the US Navy wanted to perchase the last remaining Alfa to study her hydrodynamics!Wow
The above secound vid is of my 5 ft Alfa .

Sorry David again I must disagree with you on this one. I am not trying to pick a fight with you or put you down brother but it is a bit off mark. Just take the word of a guy qualified in Submarines.
