Ajouter "How Do Nuclear Submarine Launch Missiles #submarine #nuclearsubmarine #missile"

Soon after the second world war, the work on concept of a submarine launched missile began. But some skeptics thought that it could never be possible! Instead of using underwater propulsion, engineers focused on compressed air. So the secret is this shield. it prevents water flooding into the missile tube. Just few moments before the launch, submarine opens the hatch, and the seal is blown apart. Before water has any chance to pour in, a valve opens at the bottom of tube, and shoots a burst of compressed air into it. This air forces the missile out the tube, at some 40 miles per hour. This is enough momentum to cut through almost 40 meters of water, and once in the air, its engines are able to ignite! The successful launch of Polaris test missile from the submarine USS George Washington SSBN 598, on July 20th 1960, began the new era of ballistic missile submarines. The U.S Navy's first fleet ballistic missile, the Polaris A-1, had a range of 1400 nautical miles, with a single 600 kiloton warhead, and today, the Trident II D5 missile has a range of 6,500 nautical miles, and carries 8 to 14 warheads. Currently, all submarines launch SLBMs while submerged, at various shallow (CLASSIFIED) depths. The Russians can also launch on the surface. Going back in history, all Soviet classes launched on the surface, in a very long procedure which included filling the missile’s liquid fuel tanks. The first was a modified Zulu-class diesel submarine. Launching submerged, and solid fuel rockets, are recent capabilities. American, and other countries’ systems, have always been solid fuel, submerged-launch systems. As for other types of missiles, the first cruise missiles of all countries required the submarine to surface for launch. The original US Loon and Regulus missiles were nuclear armed. The original Soviet missiles were both strategic (land-attack) and tactical (anti-carrier). Soviet 2nd-generation SSGNs developed submerged-launch capabilities. The first US submarine tactical missiles (SUBROC and Harpoon) were launched from a torpedo tube, and thus reduced the number of torpedoes or mines in the load. Later classes of submarines have a dozen vertical launch tubes with a mix of Tomahawk missiles for anti-ship, tactical conventional land-attack. and strategic nuclear missions. Four SSBNs have been converted to SSGNs, carrying dozens of Tomahawks.
