It would be armed with at least 16 vertically launched missiles (Kaliber, Onyx and Zircon) and around forty multi-purpose torpedoes. Easy and cheap to build, at more than 35 knots submerged, with 90 days endurance, it should be used for escort missions, shadowing SSBNs and some SSGNs. A Carrier Killer version is also planned.

I always thought a deployed launch package would be a great combat modifier. As a ship or submarine could deploy a package of one to three torpedoes or missiles pre-programmed to strike a target or programmed on the fly to hit other surface vessels or enemy land based targets. The ship/sub moves miles away before the system fires, keeping it very safe from retaliation, provides the enemy with no signature to shoot at or counter fire. It could also be used as a area denial weapon or to stop a pursuing fleet. Maybe even used with drones to detect an enemy fleet.

Fact: TLAMs are a nightmare for defense.

[@vivekkaushik9508]

I think that once a submarine launches a missile, it gives away its location. The enemy gets to know the approximate probability of the region where the missile is coming from. So they can send their ASW helicopters/P8s to counter them. That being said if a sub is using its carrier group as a shield then it might get impossible to neutralize such a threat. The only way to stop such an incident from taking place is being offensive. Giving enemy a chance to sneak up on your shores 400-500 km is not good. Atleast 1000km detterence has to be maintained in sea. This is exactly what China is doing in South China Sea. India should also do this in Indian Ocean. I guess Russia maintains its naval supremacy in Baltic and black sea? US navy is no doubt always in aggressor mode because they know they can't afford an attack on their carrier group for sake of their troops morale. A single hit whether deadly or not, can drown the morale of forces. They'll no longer feel safe.

[@indragarg2857]

I don't think china is having 1000km of a buffer zone since allied carrier groups and now even indian carriers are patrolling that region and it wouldn't be possible unless china wants a war with all of it's supply ships being cut off, similarly although India has more leeway since Indian Ocean is bigger but nevertheless having that much buffer is not possible

[@deusexaethera]

One of the reasons submarines use _cruise_ missiles is because those can change their course after launch, disguising their launch location.

[@grubbybum3614]

Why do subs launch missiles vertically? With the tech to launch cruise missiles out of torpedo tubes, isn't it better because you can reload them?

[@deusexaethera]

@@grubbybum3614: Shortest possible path to the surface. A sub unavoidably gives away its location to local ships when the air bubbles from the torpedo/missile launcher reach the surface, so to maintain the element of surprise as long as possible it's best for the missile to reach the surface at the same time as the bubbles.

That and the fielding of the SEARAM system. Until directed energy weapons (like lasers) are more capable, do not need "dwell time" on target and can function in mist/fog, the guided missile will remain the most effective way to engage a cruise missile...

[@yum33333]

[@REgamesplayer]

You overestimate AShM capabilities or rather penalties. Submarines are often detected due to launch signatures. This is why it is dangerous for submarine as much as it is for the fleet to launch these missiles while nearby. When you are close, it is best to use torpedoes. AShM are rather long range anti ship weapon when submarine has ample time to retreat after launch.

[@themacker894]

Nice game. I might try it.

[@0utc4st1985]

Fun fact: The Improved Los Angeles (688i), Seawolf and Virginia classes of US attack submarine all have vertical launch capability for Tomahawk and Harpoon cruise missiles. While the US Navy hasn't had much in the way of equivalents to the Soviet Oscar class until recently with the refits of some Ohio class ballistic missile submarines, it should be noted that the US arsenal is still very formidable in this regard simply because the vast majority of the 50 or so fast attack submarines can also launch cruise missiles.

Surface Navies will become obsolete, if they aren’t already. Since an anti ship missile has a 1000 mile range, there is almost no place on land that can’t target a ship at sea.

[@jarno_de_wit]

Do you think advancements in submarine weapon technology will eventually make surface fleets obselete, or at least relatively ineffective (and less competitive price/reward wise) compared to submarines?

[@Sir_Budginton]

When it comes to fighting ships, nothing can beat the submarine. During the 80s the Royal Navy genuinely considered foregoing a surface fleet and build nothing but submarines because when it comes to sinking ships nothing can beat a sub. The reason surface ships are still used is because there are certain tasks a submarine simply can't do. As an example, being able to stick an airfield anywhere in the ocean (aircraft carrier), can allow you to conduct air missions when you don't have any land based air bases nearby.

[@jarno_de_wit]

@@Sir_Budginton That might have been the case in the past, but I could imagine a future where planes have little use in warfare due to being outclassed by practically all missiles. In such a case the only need for vehicles such as carriers could be in rescue missions or in transporting ground based vehicles (which I think will be replaced later than air based units due to ground based warfare being a lot more complicated). Maybe mine layers and mine sweepers would still have a use in actual warfare, but for the rest, I don't see any scenario other than offering support or resources (be it in the form of food and water or in ground units) to islands or other sea connected nations which couldn't be fulfilled by submarines and their by then surely impressive missile armament.

[@bluemountain4181]

ASW technology is also advancing though, for example through UAVs and UUVs which could be relatively small and cheap, deployed in large numbers and scan a large area of the ocean for submarines. Unlike surface ships submarines can't use defensive systems such as interceptor missiles, point defence guns and lasers.

The missile will fly out to that point, turn on its radar, and then guide itself into the ship. The sub doesn't even have to surface. Of course, sonar has a limited range, so I don't think subs will launching at max range unless they have something else targeting for them.

[@rogerman65]

I'd like to add that there are four SSGN Cruise Missile Submarine nuclear propelled subs of the Ohio-class. Tomahawk Block IV missile is an all weather surface- and submarine-launched precision strike stand-off weapon. Tomahawk is designed for long range precision strikes against high value targets and heavily defended targets and it has a maximum range of 1 000 miles, or 1 609 km to be metrically precise. But the long range comes to a price, it travels in sub-sonic speed - 890 km/h. The American surface fleet phased out TLAM-A, the nuclear version of Tomahawk, a number of years ago. The American surface fleet is thus without nuclear weapons, as is the British surface fleet. At least some Tomahawk missiles can loiter in the air in hope that something will reveal itself within the missile's parameters during the missile's flight time over disputed areas where they have established a threat from air defence systems against own missions with aircrafts, or something else they need to suppress. Cruise missiles are usually propelled by turbojet engines. Today, all Tomahawk missiles in the US surface combat fleet have conventional warheads either in the form of a single combat part (TLAM-C, TLAM-E) or with sub-combat parts (TLAM-D).

[@soccom8341576]

The surface fleet should consider adding nuclear warheads due to the CCP threat, so that they can contribute to the nuclear deterrent against not only the CCP's navy, but more urgently, a huge number of land targets and mobile launchers. China is also doubling its nuclear arsenal, further surpassing the capabilities of its neighbours.

[@bobtank6318]

@@soccom8341576 The SSGNs are conversions of the Ohio class SSBN class, of which we have 14 of them. Each SSBN has 24 Trident missiles, and the missiles each have 12 MIRVs. This means the US Navy has 288 475kt warheads per sub. Some are stationed elsewhere and some are in port, so lots say 5 Ohios are in the area when the order to launch is given. That's 1440 nukes headed right for Chinese cities and military facilities. For context, China has around 350 total nukes. I think the Navy is fine.

@@theralfinator yea that makes sense. You don't want to fire your missiles just to be chased down and sunk 20 mins later

These are the biggest threats in modern military era,sonar is not as detectable as radar,which makes subs harder to detect.

Why do I feel like I've seen this video before? Weird case of deja-vu?

[@JM-fv3ef]

This is why we may never see a large scale conflict between 2 large nations like in ww2 ever again. And if we did, the large scale movement of manpower would be extremely risky.

Since when did post apocalyptic worlds involve high tech weapons and aircraft carriers? Sounds more like a future sci-fi dystopia.

[@FirstLast-uz6eq]

if it's like the submarine in On the Beach, it works remnants of high tech forces are post-apocalyptic

[@James-cb7nb]

@@FirstLast-uz6eq except all those things require extensive Infrastructure and expertise- things that I thought post apocalyptic societies generally did not have.

I wonder how much time it takes to a converted Ohio SSGN to launch all its 154 missiles (how much of them at the same time?).

A single modern submarine is a huge threat to any fleet. There was actually a time during the 80s where the Royal Navy genuinely considered using nothing but submarines. They didn't as there are certain tasks submarines simply can't do, but when it comes to fighting other ships the only true threat to a submarine is another submarine.

There is Binkov. Ive talked to him a few times, he's good. Slightly different style but very good. I'm working on making more videos as well. Hopefully 2 a week. The past month or so has been hectic as I just moved, so I got behind. Thanks for watching!

So you can park submarine under sea at very near of your enemy country and launch nukes. Air defense will fail when it see missile launched from so close.

[@georgedoolittle7574]

Actually your first defense is to build a Submarine dedicated to killing other Submarines.
