Download or read book Soviet Cruise Missile Submarines of the Cold War written by Edward Hampshire and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soviet Union's cruise missile submarines from the modified Whiskey, to the Oscar II classes were among the most formidable vessels of the Cold War. They were initially designed to carry land attack nuclear-tipped cruise missiles designed to strike targets on the eastern coast of the United States. By the late 1960s, however, submarine-launched ballistic missiles made the nuclear land-attack mission unnecessary, so existing classes were converted to the 'carrier killer' role, armed with anti-ship cruise missiles designed to destroy US super-carriers and other important naval targets. This fully illustrated study examines these powerful machines that were some of the largest and fastest submarines ever built. If war had broken out, they would have been at the forefront of the Soviet Navy's campaign to destroy NATO's sea power and cut America's sea link with Europe.

Download or read book United States Navy Submarines 1900 2019 written by Michael Green and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brilliant history of the USA’s underwater exploits,” filled with photos (Books Monthly). In 1900, the US Navy took its first submarine, the Holland VI, into service. With a single torpedo tube, it had a crew of six, weighed eighty-two tons, and traveled submerged at 6.2mph at a depth of up to seventy-five feet. Contrast this to the 18 Ohio Class nuclear-powered submarines that entered service in 1981. Weighing 21,000 tons with a crew of 155, its underwater speed is estimated at thirty mph at a depth of some one thousand feet. It carries sixteen nuclear warhead ballistic missiles with a range of 4,600 miles. This photographic history in the Images of War series provides detailed insight into the many US Navy submarine classes. Particularly fascinating is the post Second World War program of nuclear powered submarines stating with the Nautilus and progressing to the Skate, Thresher, Sturgeon, Los Angeles, and George Washington. Admiral Hyman G Rickover’s role as father of the nuclear navy is also examined in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval warfare in the Pacific changed completely with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The strategic emphasis shifted from battleships to much more lethal, far-ranging weapons systems; one of these was the submarine. This book details the design and development, classes, weapons and equipment, tactics and operational history of the US submarine in World War II. Detailed tables, photographs, and superb color plates depict the force that had an effect far beyond its size – the submarine accounted for 55% of all Japanese shipping losses, despite suffering the highest percentage loss of any unit of the United State Armed Forces in World War II.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the results of a 'flutter' analysis for the submarine USS ALBACORE (AGSS 569). The results were obtained both by performing a simple control-surface computation using analytical expressions derived in the report and by computing the rudder-diving plane (and stabilizer)-hull vibrations (including flutter) on an analog computer. The analogs are based upon previously derived theories and methods for representing the vibrating system and for evaluating various control surface-hull parameters. The analytical and analog results are in excellent agreement and indicate that controlsurface flutter of ALBACORE will occur at about 90 knots. (Author).
