Navy. This concept design was completed in a two- The basic cost of construction of SSBMD is $1.575 semester ship design course at Virginia Polytechnic billion. This satisfies the goal of a lead ship BCC less Institute and State University. than $1.6 billion. The final concept design satisfies key The SSBMD requirement is based on the SSBMD performance requirements in the CDD within cost and Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and Virginia risk constraints. The basic characteristics of SSBMD Tech SSBMD Acquisition Decision Memorandum are listed in the table below. (ADM). The submarine addresses the need to provide a sea-based ballistic missile defense launch Ship Characteristic Value capability to guard against rogue and hostile nation LOA 261.2 ft missile attack. The submarine platform allows for covert Beam 32 ft positioning near potential enemy launch sites and Diameter 32 ft provides a favorable launch angle for missile Submerged Displacement 3962 lton interception with guidance from surface or air 3 bourne assets. By utilizing a diesel-electric/AIP Submerged Displaced Volume 138027 ft design, a ballistic missile defense capability is Sprint Speed 22 knt achieved without endangering US nuclear assets or Snorkel Range @ 12 knt 5356 nm incurring the diplomatic risk inherent to nuclear submarine operations in or near foreign waters. The AIP Endurance @ 5 knt 24 days submarine is expected to operate in littoral and open AIP Sprint Endurance 56 minutes (21 nm) ocean environments. Open Cycle Diesel/AIP, The primary threats expected to be encountered 2xCAT 3512 V12 + 2x500kW Propulsion and Power include operating in areas of dense contact with high PEM; 5000kW-hr Zebra levels of civilian vessels present (near international batteries, Shrouded Propeller shipping lanes). 4 KEI in sail, Reconfigurable The primary missions carried out by the submarine torpedo room, 2x21” tubes, 8 Weapon Systems are Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Intelligence, reloads; 24 Cell VLS (16 SM-3, Reconnaissance & Surveillance Operations, Inland 8TLAM), Missile Strike, as well as anti-submarine (ASW) and Sensors BSY-2 w/ CCSM EDO Arrays anti-surface ship (ASuW) capability (primarily for P for AIP 5knt 76 kW self defense). req SSBMD is a high effectiveness and moderate risk, Preq for Sprint Speed 6010 kW high end alternative selected from the non- Preq for Snorkel 1136 kW dominated frontier. This design was chosen to Battery Capacity 5000 kW-hr provide a ground-breaking, challenging project in which modern, innovative technologies such as PEM Diving Depth 570 ft fuel cells for air-independent propulsion, two five Total Officers 8 torpedo rotary launch systems, and four Kinetic Total Enlisted 47 Energy Interceptor (KEI) missiles contained in an advanced composite sail were utilized. SSBMD has Total Manning 55 many other attractive qualities including high Basic Cost of Construction $1.6 billion SSBMD(X) Design – VT Team 1 Page 3 Table of Contents TABLE OF

  • Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 1 Introduction
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 1: Introduction Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 1: Introduction. The other parts are: Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

    60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 - 2015 Peter Lobner August 2015 Foreword This rather lengthy presentation is my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the U.S. Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by the USS Nautilus, and then tracing the development and exploitation of nuclear propulsion over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have posted information on the internet on international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear vessels and naval weapons systems. My presentation contains a great deal of graphics from many internet sources. Throughout the presentation, I have made an effort to identify all of the sources for these graphics. If you have any comments or wish to identify errors in this presentation, please send me an e-mail to: [email protected]. I hope you find this presentation informative, useful, and different from any other single document on this subject.

    COLD WAR SUBMARINES The Project 941/Typhoon was the largest undersea craft ever built. These two—of six completed—are at their remote base of Nerpichya, about six miles from the entrance to Guba Zapadnaya Litsa on the Kola Peninsula, close to the borders with Finland and Norway.
