“Sea Wolf” and then loaded the Sophora

“Sea Wolf” is the United States after the Cold War at the cost to build the absolute leader in the performance of the attack nuclear submarine before it executable anti-submarine, anti-ship and land attack, mine-laying, escort and other tasks, in terms of firepower, mobility and stealth capabilities to overwhelm the former Soviet Union’s nuclear submarines. Therefore, the “Sea Wolf” is recognized as the “King of the submarine in the Navy of the United States and the world”.

the boat has many of the most prominent advantages: First of all, quiet. Allegedly, the propulsion unit on the boat to the use of British design “pump jet propulsion, noise greatly reduced, is the quietest of all U.S. nuclear submarine.

underwater acoustic detection capability. The Seawolf-class submarines equipped with the BSY-2 sonar fire control system. The system is an improved version of the second generation of advanced submarine combat systems. The system with large diameter sonar array supporting the use of advanced computer and software use, and be able to analyze the data of underwater acoustic detection, identification of target identification and carry out fire control computing.

, weapons, under the ice activity. Seawolf-class submarines will not only carry a modified the Harpoon anti-ship missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles, and equipment, the number of torpedo tubes than the Los Angeles class submarines more than doubled, torpedo and missile load of 52 attack power is very strong.

“Sea Wolf” this modification, in addition to upgrade the various types of observation, communication equipment, perhaps install some special intelligence mission equipment. Its sister boat, “Carter” was converted into intelligence and special operations submarine, after the transformation, “Carter” becomes a dedicated counter-terrorism operations, multi-purpose special operations platforms. U.S. intelligence experts believe that the transformation of submarines in addition to the requirements to be enhanced by the performance of the carriage, concealment, etc., the most important is the ability to tap undersea cable outgoing communications and information. Therefore, the modification of the “Sea Wolf” is expected from also moving in this direction.

“Sea Wolf” may have to dress up the panoramic view of the periscope of an upgraded version of Type18. The type18 type periscope is standard equipment on the Seawolf-class attack submarine, periscope, submarine imaging system upgrade, this new panoramic view of the system, or system with similar capacity, will enhance the rapid imaging system of the submarine . If the submarine has the ability of this rapid glance, you can greatly improve the underwater battlefield situation awareness and improve the safety of the submarines in littoral waters. This system will be able to provide an immediate 360-degree omni-directional horizontal viewing angle, covering the nearby and outlying areas of the periscope. Full-dimensional high-resolution visible light full-dimensional camera and an uncooled thermal infrared camera, the submarine observation, communication can instantly capture the various activities within the 360-degree range of the surface of the water, and the detection of an image on the boat on the tactical display displayed. In addition, the periscope to capture the instantaneous panoramic images are burned down, the submarine can dive to a safer depth, and submit the images for further analysis and operational.

Main Sino-Russian submarines

with the U.S. submarine force in recent years more with the Pacific Fleet, their deployment locations closer to Asia the mainland’s Pearl Harbor and Guam Naval Base. Which the Pearl Harbor base for the U.S. submarine before the core of the Pacific, Guam Naval Base will become the United States forces in the Western Pacific delivery center.

most advanced Seawolf-class attack submarines in the Atlantic have basically disappeared or greatly reduced, a result, they will probably gradually configuration to the Pacific region, especially the Western Pacific region. Seattle Post forthrightly claim that it is out of worry. The newspaper said China’s growing defense spending for the United States worried that the U.S. must strengthen all aspects of military power. Office of Naval Research said in a report, the Chinese navy’s power projection “on the ability and confidence to nothing to match the speed of growth. Today, the construction of submarine force has become the priority development objectives of the Chinese Navy, 2050, the ratio of the number of Sino-US submarine will be expanded to 3:1. “The submarine is the most effective anti-submarine weapon, the U.S. view is that, in addition to deploy more advanced nuclear submarines to the Pacific, the United States must also maintain the existing submarine force will not shrink.

U.S. Department of Defense said that the future deployment of U.S. Navy submarine force, or at least make 60% of the submarines deployed in the Pacific Ocean. With the gradual increase of the submarine force in the Asia-Pacific region and anti-submarine capabilities that may be to the submarines of the enemy along the coast or other shallow offshore activities may be faced with a growing number of special tasks. If the U.S. Navy’s nuclear submarines to perform such dangerous tasks, then they will face a significantly increased risk may be found by enemy anti-submarine forces. Therefore, these submarines to perform special tasks on a continuous 360-degree image of the imaging system, allowing the submarine to periscope depth does not need to continue to rotate the periscope can greatly improve situational awareness.

An anonymous

U.S. Navy’s Pacific submarine force commander said, at any time in the world has at least 250 submarines in the activity, while the Pacific is the submarine “most crowded” waters of the United States, China and Russia The nuclear submarine is the protagonist of the Pacific Ocean. So, before the approximation of the Sino-Russian nuclear submarine, the U.S. nuclear submarine will be proactive and identify each other. The submarine commander said, opponents of the U.S. nuclear submarines are most worried about is China’s diesel-powered submarines, because the this submarine mute technique is already quite advanced, the U.S. military had to upgrade their nuclear submarine performance in order to maintain the advantages of China and Russia . Expected that the modified, the “Sea Wolf”, the preference will be deployed in the Western Pacific region, the Russian Navy’s submarine force in the activities in this area will be its main operational objectives.

America, “Strategy Page” website reported, the most advanced attack submarine “Sea Wolf” has been refurbished to re-enter service, the upgrade took 31 months total cost of $ 280 million . Sources said that the “Seawolf number” Perhaps in the upgrade process also installed some special intelligence mission equipment used to perform those trying to cover up all the details more sensitive reconnaissance mission.
