Foreword
Submarine tractor "nuclear submarines are disliked because of the loud noise, however, China, the United States and Russia have not stopped the pace of building nuclear submarines, the United States and Russia have 76 and 45 nuclear submarines respectively, so what about China?
United States
The United States was the first country in the world to build nuclear submarines, which greatly improved its naval strength, but the speed of development of the Soviet Navy during the Cold War attracted great attention from the US military.
At this time, the U.S. military found that its nuclear submarines had a displacement of more than 4,000 tons, so they proposed to build nuclear submarines with a larger displacement, but they were opposed by high-level leaders.
It was not until the Soviet Union had a nuclear submarine with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons that the US top brass officially allocated funds, and after years of unremitting efforts, it finally built a nuclear submarine with a maximum displacement of more than 18,000 tons, that is, the Ohio-class nuclear submarine.
The initial U.S. construction program was 24 ships, but in 1991, for financial and political reasons, the number was reduced to 18.
Among the 18 nuclear submarines, individual nuclear submarines with a longer service life will be decommissioned this year, while those with a shorter service life will be decommissioned in 2039.
In the same year, the American Seawolf-class nuclear submarine entered service, with a maximum displacement of more than 12,000 tons, and initially wanted to be equipped with torpedo tubes of more than 700 mm, which were later changed to more than 600 mm MK-69 torpedo tubes.
There is a gap between the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine and the Ohio-class nuclear submarine, but it contains 26 noise and vibration detectors, which are applied to the high-end technology of the United States at that time, and can detect their own noise in the first time for better concealment.
But the main purpose of Seawolf-class nuclear submarines in the United States is not for operations, but for the detection and collection of information about enemy forces.
When the United States built the Seawolf-class nuclear submarines, the Soviet Union had already collapsed, and it reduced military spending according to the usual practice, resulting in only three of the 29 Seawolf-class nuclear submarines planned to be built, which were commissioned in 1997 at the earliest and 2005 at the latest.
The U.S. Seawolf-class nuclear submarine has better underwater mobility and is more conducive to the deployment of towed sonar, but when it is about to be decommissioned from service earlier, the United States is of course aware of this situation and has been urging its own country to build nuclear submarines.
As a nuclear submarine younger than the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine, the Virginia-class nuclear submarine was first commissioned in 2004, with a maximum displacement of more than 7,000 tons and a maximum speed of 25 knots.
Today, at least 16 Virginia-class nuclear submarines are in service, and the acoustic and non-acoustic integrated technologies it applies still provide reference value for the United States to improve the silent performance of nuclear submarines.
The United States also plans to arrange for two Virginia-class nuclear submarines to enter service this year, but it is now December this year, and the United States has not announced the situation of these two nuclear submarines, while Russia has already joined three Boreas-class nuclear submarines.
Russia
Russia once had the same number of nuclear submarines as the United States, but Russia was later unable to maintain all of them for economic reasons, resulting in a difference in the number of nuclear submarines between the two countries.
However, the Soviet Union attached great importance to nuclear submarines, and launched the 885 "Birch" project to build nuclear submarines, and the Yasen-class nuclear submarine was born in this nuclear submarine construction project.
For every 100 meters of the nuclear submarine, the noise detected on the water can drop by about 10 decibels, which is a very effective way to improve the concealment of the nuclear submarine.
However, increasing the diving depth of nuclear submarines is inseparable from new materials and technologies, which require a lot of investment, but Russia was not very wealthy at that time, and once shelved the construction plan of Yasen-class nuclear submarines.
It was only later that Putin proposed to strengthen the construction of the Navy and nuclear submarines, and the construction of Yasen-class nuclear submarines was back on track.
Russia plans to build seven Yasen-class nuclear submarines, the first of which is scheduled to enter service in 2008 at the earliest, but it has a maximum displacement of more than 13,000 tons and a maximum underwater speed of 31 knots.
Russia does not yet have experience with such nuclear submarines, and inevitably encountered some problems when preparing the nuclear submarine for service, and it was only two years later that the first Yasen-class nuclear submarine was launched, which was officially commissioned in 2014.
The Yasen-class nuclear submarine has a large diving depth, which makes it more silent, and its attack intensity is also at the world's advanced level, and its strength is comparable to that of the USS Virginia nuclear submarine.
The Yasen-class nuclear submarine is still a distance from the US nuclear submarine in systematic operations, and theoretically increasing the number of nuclear submarines to about 10 can form a clear advantage.
But the construction time of the Yasen-class nuclear submarine is limited, and the service time is even later than that of the Russian Boreas-class nuclear submarine.
The Boreas-class nuclear submarine has a full load displacement of 24,000 tons, and the standard displacement also exceeds 14,000 tons, which exceeds the displacement of most American nuclear submarines, but it is equipped with only 533 mm torpedo tubes.
Fortunately, Russia's nuclear submarine construction is efficient, and from 2013 to 2014, every year Russia has a nuclear submarine officially put into service.
Later, from 2020 to 2022, it was also equipped with one Boreas-class nuclear submarine every year, and it is planned to arrange another one for service this year, not counting this nuclear submarine, Russia already has 45 nuclear submarines in service.
Today, Russia, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and France all have nuclear submarines in service, and the United States and Russia, which have the most nuclear submarines, are also at the world's advanced level in technology.
The number of nuclear submarines in Britain and France is limited, but the British Astute-class nuclear submarines and the French Triumph-class nuclear submarines are almost second only to the United States and Russia in technology.
So, how many nuclear submarines does China, which is also one of the five permanent members, have, and what is the level of nuclear submarine technology?
China
The Chinese Navy started late, resulting in the construction of nuclear submarines later than the United States and Russia, but the submarines of the very strong capacity were put into service one after another.
The Type 096 nuclear submarine is also about to enter service, and before it enters service, the Type 095 nuclear submarine brings together the advanced technology of China's nuclear submarine construction.
The U.S. Navy research unit has given a report analyzing China's Type 095 and Type 096 nuclear submarines.
The report pointed out that whether it is a hybrid hull or a double hull, it has a displacement of 10,000 tons or more, a minimum speed of 31 knots and a maximum of 33 knots, and carries the same detonator as the US military practice, which is located in the middle part of the nuclear submarine.
However, there is a gap between the 533mm torpedo tubes carried by the 095 and the strike capabilities of American nuclear submarines.
As for the Type 096 nuclear submarine, the displacement is more than 14,000 tons or more than 15,000 tons, and the maximum speed is 29 knots, but it is not clear what detonators are installed.
Today, China is equipped with strategic nuclear submarines and conventional nuclear submarines, and almost every conventional nuclear submarine built in China is followed by a strategic nuclear submarine, which is used for Jedi counterattack and conventional warfare, a total of 27 units.
The performance of a strategic nuclear submarine is not necessarily superior to that of a conventional nuclear submarine, but its concealment and maneuverability are incomparable to that of conventional nuclear submarines.
Conclusion
The development of China's navy has a long way to go, which is not only the responsibility of military researchers, but also each of us should contribute to the relevant construction.
But world peace is the main theme of the development of the times, and ** is just a tool for us to protect the security of the country and the people.
