Navy Submarine

What is the largest class of submarines in the U.S. Navy? Does anyone know the dimensions?
Also, if anyone knows of a link with the different classes and their sizes would be appreciated. Thank you all.

Submarine Disasters
$28.48 Warships, by their very nature and purpose, are complex and dangerous machines. A warship designed to operate below the surface of the ocean is doubly intricate and perilous. Despite 150 years of submarine operations, many hazards still exist, and disasters can still occur. When they do, rescue operations are always difficult, frequently unsuccessful, and often end in tragedy. Sailing aboard submarines is clearly a hazardous business. They operate in a hostile environment and do constant battle with the sea. Sometimes there are survivors; but on occasion, the sea wins, and all the crew members perish. To put into perspective the hazards of operating submarines, some sixty-five submarines built for the United States Navy have been lost during their service—more than 10 percent of the total number of submarines built by the U.S. Navy. Many were lost during declared wartime. Others were lost when the sea was the only declared foe, but the necessity of maintaining peace required that the submarines be put to sea. Submarine Disasters provides a meticulously researched timeline of submarine disasters throughout the oceans during more than a century and a half of conflict. The book highlights in detail the circumstances of specific incidents, relates the heroic rescue attempts, discusses the evolving safety measures relating to the submarines themselves, details the programs dedicated to search and rescue, and describes the various surface and submarine craft and other assets that have been developed to save the crews and salvage the stricken boats. Throughout their long histories, the submarine forces of the world have consistently striven to improve. Submarine Disasters is a compelling look at the world’s worst accidents that took place during this journey. It is a book that you’ll dive right into and won’t be able to put down. |

The Royal Navy and Anti-Submarine Warfare, 1917-49
$207.95 <PAn essential new&nbsp;account&nbsp;of how anti-submarine warfare is conducted,&nbsp;with a focus on both historic and present-day operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P<PThis new book&nbsp;shows how until 1944 U-boats operated as submersible torpedo craft which relied heavily on the surface for movement and charging their batteries. This pattern was repeated in WWII until Allied anti-submarine countermeasures had forced the Germans to modify their existing U-boats with the schnorkel. Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high-speed U-boats capable of continuously submerged operations. </P<P</P<PThis study shows how these improved submarines became benchmark of the post-war Russian submarine challenge. Royal Navy doctrine was developed by professional anti-submarine officers, and based on the well-tried combination of defensive and offensive anti-submarine measures that had stood the press of time since 1917, notwithstanding considerable technological change. </P<P</P<PThis consistent and holistic view of anti-submarine warfare has not been understood by most of the subsequent historians of these anti-submarine campaigns, and this book provides an essential and new insight into how Cold War, and indeed modern, anti-submarine warfare is conducted. </P<STRONG'An extremely well researched and balanced work, <EMThe Royal Navy and Anti-Submarine Warfare, 1917-49</EMis a refereshing look at a complex subject, from the eyes of a seasoned professional, and sheds light on some popular misunderstanding as to the complexity of modern ASW...a key reference document for naval historians and future maritime strategists.' -</STRONG<EMThe Northern Mariner</EM |

Submarine Stories
$26.98 Culled from many never-before-published narratives and oral histories conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Naval Institute, Submarine Stories presents nearly five dozen first-person accounts from men who were involved with gasoline- and diesel-powered submarines during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The story of these boats, their technological evolution and tactical value, is also the story of the men who went to sea in them. The accounts illustrate the human aspects of serving in diesel boats: the training, operations in peacetime and war, liberty exploits, humorous sidelights, and special feelings of bonding and camaraderie that grew among shipmates. Included here are some familiar names. Slade Cutter, who earned four Navy Crosses as a skipper in World War II, describes the process that made him a capable submariner. Dennis Wilkinson, first skipper of the nuclear-powered Nautilus in the 1950s, tells of being in the first missile-firing submarine in the 1940s. Robert McNitt recalls his experiences as executive officer to Medal of Honor skipper Gene Fluckey. Among the other submariners who present their personal memories are Jerry Beckley, contemplating the possibility of firing nuclear missiles during the 1962 Cuban crisis; Hosey Mays, describing what it was like to be a black man in a boat with a nearly all-white crew; Paul Foster, discussing the sinking a German U-boat in World War I; and Wayne Miller, explaining the enormous satisfaction he felt when he earned his silver dolphins. |

Excerpt: USS Triton (SSRN/SSN-586), a United States Navy nuclear-powered radar picket submarine, was the first vessel to execute a submerged circumnavigation of the Earth (Operation Sandblast) in early 1960. Triton accomplished this objective during her shakedown cruise while under the command of Captain Edward L. Ned Beach, Jr. The only member of her class, she also had the distinction of being the only non-Soviet submarine powered by two nuclear reactors. Triton was the second submarine and the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Greek god Triton. At the time of her commissioning in 1959, Triton was the largest, most powerful, and most expensive submarine ever built, at $109 million excluding the cost of nuclear fuel and reactors. After operating for only two years in her designed role, Tritons role as a radar picket submarine was made obsolete by the introduction of the carrier-based Grumman WF-2 Tracer airborne early warning aircraft. Converted to an attack submarine in 1962, she became the flagship for the Commander Submarine Forces U.S. Atlantic Fleet (COMSUBLANT) in 1964. She was decommissioned in 1969, the first U.S. nuclear submarine to be taken out of se... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=404759 |

Story of the Submarine
$21.69 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Pitt was the greatest fool that ever existed, to encourage a mode of war which they who command the seas did not want and which if successful would deprive them of it. Six days after the destruction of the Dorothea, the sea- Destruction of the Dorothea. From a woodcut by Robert Fulton. power of France was broken by Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar. Napoleon now gave up all hope of gaining the few hours' control of the Channel that would have enabled him to invade England, and broke up the camp of his Grand Army that had waited so long atBoulogne. With this danger gone, England was no longer interested in submarines and torpedoes. So Fulton returned to America, to build the Clairmont and win his place in history. But to him, steam navigation was far less important than submarine warfare. In the letter to his old friend Joel Barlow, dated New York, August 22, 1807, in which he described the first voyage of the Clairmont up the Hudson, Fulton said: However, I will not admit that it is half so important as the torpedo system of defense or attack, for out of this will grow the liberty of the seas ? an object of infinite importance to the welfare of America and every civilized country. But thousands of witnesses have now seen the steamboat in rapid movement and they believe; but they have not seen a ship of war destroyed by a torpedo, and they do not believe. We cannot expect people in general to have knowledge of physics or power to reason from cause to effect, but in case we have war and the enemy's ships come into our waters, if the government will give me reasonable means of action, I will soon convince the world that we have surer and cheaper modes of defense than they are aware of. Fulton had been having his troubles with the navy department. Soon after hi... |

Us Submarine Crewman 1941-1945
$11.9 This book takes a close look at the Dolphins of the US Navy submarine force, it covers recruitment, training, service conditions and combat experiences, and discusses the effects of advances in torpedo technology on crew roles. The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 battered the surface fleet, but the submarine force escaped unharmed. It was up to the Silent Service to spearhead the naval war against Japan, cutting her supply routes and neutralizing her naval threat. By August 1945, US Navy submarines had made 488 war patrols. The achievements of the Silent Service were not without consequence - 3,500 American crewmen lost their lives. |

US Submarine Crewman 1941-45
$2.37 Produced to the very high standard that Osprey books have become known for.This book takes a close look at the Dolphins of the US Navy submarine force, it covers recruitment, training, service conditions and combat experiences, and discusses the effects of advances in torpedo technology on crew roles. The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 battered the surface fleet, but the submarine force escaped unharmed. It was up to the Silent Service to spearhead the naval war against Japan, cutting her supply routes and neutralizing her naval threat. By August 1945, US Navy submarines had made 488 war patrols. The achievements of the Silent Service were not without consequence - 3,500 American crewmen lost their lives. |

Submarine: Hunter & Hunted-British Submarine and Anti-Submarine Operat
$26.51 A fine overview of subs and sub-killersbrThis comprehensive book concerns the operations of the Royal Navy to deal with the enemy submarine threat in the conflict for the dominance of the seas and oceans during the Great War. The global nature of this first massive war of the twentieth century gave the submarine its first opportunity to be a significant and influential weapon. Such was its impact and so clandestine its sphere of operation that methods to oppose it were developed with urgency, ingenuity and variety. Here the reader is introduced to the hydrophone, the depth charge and other bizarre initiatives to combat the underwater predators. The Convoy system, mine-laying, mine-sweeping, nets and traps are covered in detail. Of particular interest are the ships specifically designed to destroy the submarines-here are the armed trawlers, the ships disguised as harmless merchant vessels, secretly armed to deliver deadly retaliation as their trap was sprung and the fast patrol and torpedo pursuit boats. Finally, the newest arm is described as sea-planes are developed and put into service to rain destruction down from the skies. A fine all round history on the subject excellently complimented by photographs and diagrams. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket. |

The Fleet Type Submarine
$24.07 Originally published by the U.S. Navy in 1946, The Fleet Type Submarine uses the USS Perch SS313 to explain operating principles, technologies, and systems. It contains numerous diagrams and photos and offers definitions of components and terminology. It provides technical descriptions of various machinery and systems such as ballast tanks, trim, ventilation and steering. It also contains a brief history of the submarine and a discussion of patrol routines. By far this is the most complete technical guide to the boats that won WWII in the Pacific. Nothing close to it was ever assembled before, or since. Periscopefilm.com's affordable reprint comes in a soft bound edition with attractive covers. Although some of the book has been reformatted, and color images are reproduced in black and white, all of the original content is preserved. This is a must-have for anyone interested in submarines and an important reference for any historian, docent, or modeler. |

China's Rising Sea Power: The Pla Navy's Submarine Challenge
$162.82 Since the collapse of Soviet naval power China has become the operator of the world's largest tactical submarine fleet. As the world wonders what Beijing intends to do with its increasingly powerful and effective undersea warfare capacity, what does this means for strategic stability in East Asia? This book addresses these questions by exploring similarities between China's strategic outlook today and that of earlier continental powers whose submarine fleets challenged dominant maritime powers for regional hegemony. Using insights from classical naval strategic theory it examines Beijing's strategic logic in making tactical submarines the keystone of China's naval force structure and investigates the influence of Soviet naval strategy and ancient Chinese military thought on the PLA Navy's strategic culture. It finally contends that China's increasingly capable submarine fleet could play a key role in Beijing's use of force to resolve the Taiwan issue. With attention focused on China's missile build-up opposite Taiwan, this timely volume reminds us that there is real danger in underestimating the potential of the PLA Navy's submarines to destabilize any future Taiwan Strait crisis.brThis book will be of foremost interest to students of Chinese politics, Asian Security Studies and international relations in general, as well as to professionals in these fields. |

Sustaining U.S. Nuclear Submarine Design Capabilities
$9.95 For the first time since the design of the first nuclear submarine, the U.S. Navy has no nuclear submarine design program under way, which raises the possibility that design capability could be lost. Such a loss could result in higher costs and delays when the next submarine design is undertaken, as well as risks to system performance and safety. The authors estimate and compare the costs and delays of letting design capability erode vs. those of alternative means of managing the workload and workforce over the gap in design demand and beyond. The authors recommend that the Navy consider stretching out the design of the next submarine class and starting it early, or, if that seems too risky, sustaining design resources at the shipyards, their vendors, and in the Navy itself that exceed those supported by the demand. |

Sustaining U.S. Nuclear Submarine Design Capabilities
$28.73 Nuclear submarine design resources at the shipyards, their suppliers, and the Navy may erode for lack of demand. Analysis of alternative workforce and workload management options suggests that the U.S. Navy should stretch out the design of the next submarine class and start it early or sustain design resources above the current demand, so that the next class may be designed on time, on budget, and with low risk. |
