SOSUS - A selection of sites in other locations in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have also had SOSUS stations installed. SOSUS development was started by the Committee for Undersea Warfare in 1949, a panel formed by the US Navy in order to further research into anti-submarine warfare. At the time the main concern was snorkeling diesel submarines, the panel quickly decided that the solution was to use low-frequency sound detectors which would be able to hear the sound of their engines from hundreds of kilometres. They recommended that $10 million be spent annually to develop such systems In 1950 the committee's report was used to set up Project Hartwell at MIT, named for the director of the committee, Dr. G.P. Hartwell, professor at the University of Pennsylvania. In November Western Electric was.

James Madison class submarine - James Madison class submarine The James Madison class of submarine was an evolutionary development from the Lafayette class of fleet ballistic missile submarine. They were identical to the Lafayettes except for being designed to carry the Polaris A-3 missile instead of the earlier A-2. Then, in the early 1980s, they were further upgraded to carry the Trident C4 missile. Together with the George Washington, the Ethan Allen, the Lafayette, and the Benjamin Franklin classes, they comprised the "41 for Freedom."

Juliett class submarine - Juliett class submarine Known in the West by their NATO reporting name as the Juliett class, the Project 651 diesel-electric submarines were designed in the 1950s to provide the Soviet Navy with a nuclear strike capability against the east coast of the United States. They carried four nuclear cruise missiles, which were launched while the submarine was surfaced and moving less than four knots. Once surfaced, the first missile could be launched in about five minutes; subsequent missiles would follow within about ten seconds each. Initially, the missiles were the inertially-guided P-5 (NATO reporting name SS-N-3 Shaddock). When submarine-launched ballistic missiles rendered the P-5s obsolescent, they were replaced with the P-6 (also NATO reporting name SS-N-3 Shaddock, though it is a very different missile) and the P-500.
Victoria class submarine - Victoria class submarine The Victoria class consists of four diesel-powered Royal Canadian Navy submarines acquired from the Royal Navy (formerly known as the Upholder class) and replacing the old Oberon-class subs. The boats are named after Canadian port cities: HMCS Victoria (formerly the HMS Unseen) HMCS Windsor (formerly the HMS Unicorn) HMCS Corner Brook (formerly the HMS Ursula) HMCS Chicoutimi (formerly the HMS Upholder). Victoria operates out of Esquimalt, British Columbia and works in the Pacific Ocean, while the remaining boats are based in Halifax, Nova Scotia and work in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The boats were originally built by the UK, but saw only brief service before being mothballed in favour of an all nuclear force. They are essentially identical to modern nuclear submarines (with.
Hotel class submarine - Hotel class submarine Development of the Project 658 Hotel class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, designed to carry the D-2 launch system and R-13 missiles, was approved on August 26, 1956. Work on the design began in September 1956, and the technical project was completed in the first quarter of 1957. The duties of the chief designer of the project 658 were originally assigned to the chief engineer of OKB-18, P.Z. Golosovskogo. In February 1958 project management was transferred to I.V. Mihaylov, who in October 1958 had replaced S.N. Kovalev. The deputy of the chief designer was from outset I.D. Spasskiy. The Hotel design was based on the Project 627 November class, the first nuclear Soviet submarines, modified by adding the missile compartment from the Golf class.
Gato class submarine - Gato class submarine The Gato-class of submarine was the state of the art in American design at the start of World War II. Using the previous Tambor-class submarine as the model standard, the Gatos incorporated improvements that increased their overall patrolling and combat abilities. Modifications to the diesel engines and batteries increased patrol duration over that of the Tambors, and internal alterations provided more amenities for the crew. Several Gato subs are on display in the United States. For instance, the USS Cobia (SS-245) is at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. See their web site for details: http://www.wimaritimemuseum.org/sub.htm General Characteristics Displacement: 1825 tons surfaced, 2410 tons submerged Length: 312 feet Beam: 27 feet Draft: 15 feet Depth: 300 feet Speed: 20.75 knots surfaced, 8.75 knots submerged Armament: one.
George Washington class submarine - George Washington class submarine The George Washington class of United States Navy submarine were the first ballistic missile submarines in the world. Together with the Ethan Allen, the Lafayette, the James Madison, and the Benjamin Franklin classes, they comprised the "41 for Freedom." The December 1959 commissioning of George Washington (SSBN-598), the class's lead ship, gave the United States a stealth platform with enormous nuclear firepower, a powerful deterrant and weapon in the Cold War. The United States Navy ordered a class of nuclear-powered submarines armed with long-range strategic missiles on 31 December 1957, and tasked Electric Boat with converting two existing attack submarine hulls to ballistic missile-carrying boats to quickly create the deterrant force. To accomplish this conversion, Electric Boat persuaded the Navy in January 1958 to.
Upholder class submarine - Upholder class submarine The Upholder-class submarines were diesel-electric hunter-killer (SSK) submarines designed in the late 1970s to supplement the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine force. That force was intended to comprise 18 nuclear-powered attack boats (SSNs) and four ballistic missile boats (SSBNs), but construction of the SSNs fell behind schedule, and the construction plans were altered to include ten modern SSKs as well. The price of each was intended to be about one-third that of one of the SSNs, and was finally published at US$215 million, but actual cost after correcting the design flaws was higher. The design included an updated version of the fire-control system being installed on the SSNs under construction at the same time, a state-of-the-art French passive sonar system, the then-current towed array, and.
Ethan Allen class submarine - Ethan Allen class submarine The Ethan Allen class of fleet ballistic missile submarine was an evolutionary development from the George Washington class. Together with the George Washington, the Lafayette, the James Madison, and the Benjamin Franklin classes, they comprised the "41 for Freedom." Rather than being designed as Skipjack-class attack submarines with a missile compartment added, the Ethan Allens were designed from scratch as fleet ballistic missile submarines carrying the Polaris A2 missile. In the early and mid-1970s, they were further upgraded to Polaris A3s Boats USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) USS Sam Houston (SSBN-609) USS Thomas A. Edison (SSBN-610) USS John Marshall (SSBN-611) USS Thomas Jefferson (SSBN-618) (Note out-of-sequence numbering.).
Invincible class aircraft carrier - Invincible class aircraft carrier See also HMS Invincible The Invincible class aircraft carrier is a design currently in use by the Royal Navy. There are three carriers of this class in operation - the HMS Invincible (R05, 1980), the HMS Illustrious (R06, 1982) and the HMS Ark Royal (R07, 1985 (initially she was to be the Indomitable)). The sixth (and current) HMS Invincible. The original class design was for a 12,500 ton escort carrier as a complement to the much larger CVA fleet carrier project. The CVA was cancelled in 1966 and the escort carrier design was reworked for a ASW cruiser with six helicopters and command capability. The helicopter load was then increased to nine and the vessel was again redesigned into a 19,500 ton carrier..
Eagle class patrol craft - Eagle class patrol craft The Eagle class patrol craft were a set of steel ships smaller than destroyers but having a greater operational radius than the wooden-hulled, 110-foot submarine chasers developed in 1917. The submarine chasers' range of about 900 miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots restricted their operations to off-shore antisubmarine work and denied them an open-ocean escort capability. Their high consumption of gasoline and limited fuel storage also were handicaps. Attention turned to building steel patrol vessels. In their construction, it was necessary to eliminate the established shipbuilding facilities as possible sources of construction as they were totally engaged in the building of destroyers, larger warships, and merchant shipping. Accordingly, a design was developed by the Bureau of Construction and Repair which was.
KDM Sælen (S323) - KDM Sælen (S323), is one of the three Tumleren-class small coastal submarines of the Kongelige Danske Marine (Royal Danish Navy). She was built as a Type 207 submarine by Rheinstahl-Nordseewerke of Emden, Germany in 1965 for the Kongelige Norske Marine (Royal Norwegian Navy) and served for 25 years as KNM Uthaug before being purchased by Denmark in 1990. Her international call sign is OUCJ. On 4 December 1990, Sælen sank while being towed from Copenhagen to Aarhus. On 17 December, she was raised by the German floating crane Roland and taken to Aarhus for repair. On 10 August 1993, diving approval was issued and the boat was recommissioned. Sælen served in the 2003 invasion of Iraq from May 2002 until June 2003. To speed her return to her homeport of Frederikshavn.

INS Vikrant - known as HMS Hercules -- was to be one of the six Majestic-class light fleet aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy. Her keel was laid down November 12, 1943 by Vickers-Armstrong, of Tyne, England, and she was launched September 22, 1945. Construction was suspended after World War II and she was laid up for possible future use. In January of 1957, she was sold to India, and construction was completed at Harland and Wolff with an extensively modernized design, including an angled deck with steam catapults, a modified island, and many other improvements. The Indian high commissioner to the United Kingdom, Vijayalakshmi Pandit, commissioned her as INS Vikrant on 4 March 1961 while she was still at Belfast, Northern Ireland. Captain Pritam Singh was the first commanding officer of the carrier..
