MESA-MESC TECHNICALSESSION ON SUBMARINES By ShantanuMainkar Technical Service Director
Designed such that man can sit within vessel carrying a bomb under water Produced from wood Buoyancy principle Propelled by muscle power Supply of oxygen under water Less supply of air (only for 25 mins) Loss of consciousness Each member needs 12m3/day at least TURTLE
Supplies 4000 lit oxygen per hour Oxygen to replenish still air By using this system limit less supply of air ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM
Inspiration from nature To control depth and angle of attack USE OF FINS
Electronically controlled Another pair present at back like planes MODERN FINS
Have propellers and control surfaces at back Have large warhead Only two hits required to sink large ships Captain has to aim ahead of his target TORPEDO
Is guided with help of optical fibre GUIDED TORPEDO
Submarines were able to fire two torpedoes a Special submarine developed by Germans called as Milkcow Can hold 4000 tons of fuel But it was taking 5 hours to refuel submarine So were vulnerable to areal attacks as both subs had to come above water for refueling NEED OF FUEL
First tried by Americans named as USS Nautilus Can travel 1000 km on 4 kilograms of uranium Travelled 3400 km under polar ice Submarine that could operate anywhere in the world Today’s reactors are far more powerful. e.g. Reactor on Pennsylvania is able to run all machines on submarine (including washing machines required for crew). But the reactor is yet to be refueled since last 20 years. NUCLEAR SUBMARINES
So fuel for crew i.e. food is limitation of Pennsylvania rather than fuel for submarine It carries 3 months food supply Food is also important morale booster for crew
Russian submarine exploded its crew took too long to control fire So fire control trials are arranged on submarine regularly in which crew members have to control fire within 6 minutes. PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
Subs were difficult to find. So it provided perfect base to launch an attack. Russians were first to do so. NUCLEAR STRIKE FROM SUBMARINE
But Americans wanted to design subs which can fire missile under the water. But rockets needed air to burn so they won’t work under the water. NUCLEAR STRIKE FROM SUBMARINE
By using this missile can get velocity of 80 kph which can cut through 14 m of water Nuclear weapons on these submarines are more destructive than all the bombs dropped in both world wars combined ANSWER BY USING MODEL ANALYSIS
Submarine should be undetectable But sound can travel under the water So to make all machines silent, all are insulated with rubber shock absorbers But they can be detected with help of bubble trails Stealth MODE
