Anyone else? Don't be shy!
Careful for what you wish for!
Sorry boys for doing this... more bang for the size, based on perhaps one of the best submarines. except this one is 6 meter bigger and fatter, so it loos over the Ula class, but it compensate in other areas. and have better endurance
An Enlarged and fatter Ula Class SSL
Design based on Ula class, using all the advantage Ula class always had (Ula class can almost compared with an F15, a air superior aircraft... la class sea superior submarine!)
Ula class was designed to go head on and stop or make it as expensive as possible for an Soviet mass fleet. The submarine was designed to go against soviet submarines and surface fleet's, single handed or in wolf packs.
This enlarged version is based upon the design philosophy of Ula class, but now with capability i many more areas, making it an multi-role submarine. it have design characteristics as:
- Capability to fire Submarine variant of Naval strike missiles (currently in development by Kongsberg group IRL)
- Capability to fire two type of torpedoes, but will mainly use Stingray or similar.
- extra large torpedo room, capable to hold up to 10 NSM (depending on load layout) and 24 torpedoes (depending on load layout)
- 8 standard 533 mm torpedo tubes, two large torpedo tubes for firing NSM and large torpedoes, but can fire stingrays by launching the torpedo by an rail system and adding a plastic ring around the torpedo that are mounted to the rail.
- two story Command center with walk-around on both side, all digital, with a classic system in backup.
- small C&C that works more as an intelligence service.
- have it own air-filters if it have to go in an catastrophic area to pick up special forces.
- large two story engine room with AIP.
- extra large battery bank.
- extra large compressed air bank.
- own accommodation for special forces.
- Large fuel capacity
- large main ballast tank, several small ballast tanks. Normally used for crash dive and balancing the submarine.
