Nuclear submarinesAs an important force in modern maritime warfare, it not only has a powerful strike capability, but also has excellent stealth performance. Recently, a ** that has aroused heated discussions among military fans has been circulated, and this ** shows a ship named ".The god of the north winda, i.e. 955a".Nuclear submarinesand one ship".The god of the north wind, that is, the 955 "nuclear submarineDocked inside the same base. As can be seen from this **,The god of the north windClass ANuclear submarineswithA nuclear submarine of the Boreas-classThere are obvious differences in the shape and structure. This suggestsBoreas' A-class nuclear submarineAs an upgraded model, its overall performance has been significantly improved. At the same time, it has also sparked people's interest in the rumorsType 096 strategic missile nuclear submarineCuriosity about the progress of research and development. What is not known is the Type 096Nuclear submarinesWhether technical difficulties such as large-diameter pressure-resistant hulls have been overcome remains a mystery. This article will dive in**Boreas' A-class nuclear submarineperformance improvements as wellType 096 strategic missile nuclear submarineand look forward to the development of this field.
InNuclear submarinesAmong the noise problems, there are three major ** that need attention, namely hydrodynamic noisePropellersNoise and mechanical noise. fromBoreas' A-class nuclear submarineThe main improvement point is to reduce the hydrodynamic noise. First of all,The god of the north windThe diameter of the rear section of the A-class is the same as that of the front section, and the turtle back design has been eliminated. WhileThe god of the north windThe diameter of the rear section of the class is significantly smaller than that of the front section, and the turtle back design is more prominent. It isThe god of the north windClass A andThe god of the north windOne of the significant differences in the level. Secondly,The god of the north windThe A-class command station enclosure and hull junction add an arc-shaped corner filling transition, andThe god of the north windThe stage still has an inverted trapezoidal design, which increases the hydrodynamic noise. This is another obvious difference between the two. In addition,The god of the north windA-level has also been addedPump-jet thrusterslength, further weakenedPropellersnoise, two small shaftless pump thrusters are additionally installed in the tail section to improve maneuverability. In addition to external changes,Boreas-class A-class strategic missile nuclear submarinesThere are also significant changes internally. Among them, the performance of the entire ship electrical system is improved by adding digital subsystems to make it world-class. So, with the addition of these techniques,Boreas-class A-class strategic missile nuclear submarinesThe quietness performance has been greatly improved, and the noise level is expected to drop to 95 decibels, stealth ability ratioThe god of the north windThere is a qualitative improvement in the grade.
As you can see from this **,Boreas-class A-class strategic missile nuclear submarinesbody size ratioThe god of the north windThe level is larger, mainly in the following ways:Displacementincrease. DisplacementAn increase usually means:Nuclear submarinesIt is possible to carry moreand equipment, with stronger combat capabilities. Therefore,Boreas-class A-class strategic missile nuclear submarinesofDisplacementThe increase is one of the external manifestations of its performance improvement.
In the explanationType 096 strategic missile nuclear submarineWhen it comes to technical difficulties, the large diameter pressure-resistant hull is not the only limiting factor. As early as 2015, China broke through the 8000-ton CNC plate bending machine technology, which can manufacture a diameter of about 135 meters of steel plate, reaching the world's advanced level. Therefore, the technical problems of large-diameter pressure-resistant hulls can be solved in China. In contrast, the problem of nuclear reactors has always plagued China. The current 093 andType 094 nuclear submarineThe nuclear reactor used has an output power of less than 30 megawatts, which limits itDisplacementand speed. Therefore, the lack of high-power nuclear reactors became a limitationNuclear submarinesA key factor in performance improvement. However, with the application of thorium-based molten salt nuclear reactors on large container ships, domestic nuclear reactors have ushered in the dawn of development. Once the thorium-based molten salt nuclear reactor matures, it can be equipped to the 096 strategyMissile nuclear submarinesto improve its overall performance. Therefore, nuclear reactors have also become a constraint on the 096 strategyMissile nuclear submarinesOne of the important factors of development.
Looking to the future, China'sNuclear submarinesWhile technology continues to make breakthroughs, it also faces new challenges. With the change and development of the world's ocean situation,Nuclear submarinesThe operational environment will also face new tests. Therefore, China needs to further strengthen itNuclear submarinesThe localization level continues to innovate in terms of silent performance, combat capability and stealth performance. At the same time, international technical exchanges and cooperation can also promote ChinaNuclear submarinesRapid development of technology.
In summary,Boreas' A-class nuclear submarineAsThe god of the north windClass upgrade model, its quiet performance andDisplacementIt has been significantly improved, showing stronger combat capabilities and stealth performance. However,Type 096 strategic missile nuclear submarineThe research and development situation is still unclear, and there are still some technical difficulties. But with ChinaNuclear submarinesThe continuous development of technology, I believe that in the near future, ChinaNuclear submarineswill play a more important role on the world stage.
