The Islamic state’s first nuclear sub.
Where is the Ten-Forward?
Looks.....chubby.
Not bad looking and with torpedo tubes. The boat I was on was a SSBN in the 640 class had 4 of the forward torpedo tubes. I heard later classes had none. One of my Captains said as soon as we get rid of these damn birds (ICBM) , we will be a big fast attack boat. That patrol the torpedo boys drilled as hard as us nukes back aft. Made me smile. And I got to know the weaponeers pretty good, since they were awake doing drills right along with us. The thought still make me smile. That Britt dog is bigger than a 640 boat and carry’s about the same number of crew. Bets it’s more comfortable living quarters than the one I was on. You’re still underway underwater though. A ship going in harms way. Godspeed boys.
It would seem that in the near future it better be really really really quiet so that the enemy’s numerous and much cheaper drone subs don’t find it.
With their track record they’ll cancel the last two after budget cuts, and the two that are built will be under repair most of the time in drydock. Maybe not a bad thing if they are effectively Islamist vessels.
Real shiny. I hope they’re not going to have to keep that way under field conditions.
If the same people are making the screws for this as their aircraft carriers,....
I’m sure that model has Britain’s enemies shaking in their boots!
