10. Actually Dutch engineers had been designing 3-hull submarines in WW2 See www.hisutton.com/Dutch_WW2_Su... Small break, will resume

Dutch engineers, while the Netherlands were occupied by Germany?

Yes. But the Dutch engineers had taken refuge in Britain

Thank you for the information. Never heard of before.

They had these just after ww2. I’d need to crack open my Friedman book for exact dates. They were initially developed since a sub was less vulnerable to Kamikaze than the destroyers that had been acting as picket (and taking losses).

What's the number of this sub? The photo isn't clear enough. (Bluesky has issues with blurriness sometimes)

12. The Soviets did too, although only converting old designs. They served longer in Soviet navy

13. The ultimate radar submarine was USS Triton, which had 2 nuclear reactors and was then the largest submarine in the world.

The Belgorod and The Kuntsevo are supposed to have gotten underway from Murmansk with Poseidon systems. The Belgirod is supposed to be huge.

There is a lot to make me doubt this. What’s the source?

Surprised I still had it.

With Trump sending two boats out it didn't sound unreasonable. News on boats isn't doled out like party favors.

Sorry but I think you are being misinformed I don’t have time to watch that channel but I really do not think Belgorod had been deployed, and the other n as named sub - someone must be smoking something

14. Under Stalin the USSR worked on a submarine which had 3 torpedo rooms, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and midget submarines for amphibious assault. Obvious the idea didn’t float

15. The USS Tullibee nuclear submarine design should have been provided to Canada and Australia IMO

Very interesting suggestion.

16. All the recent news faff that the U.S. Navy deployed submarines to counter Russia’s drunk tweets is just embarrassing.

I guess the whole point was to use the word “nuclear”. Sounds dramatic and scary. bsky.app/profile/jean...

17. Here’s a useful chart (a couple of years old but makes the point) on the distinction between a nuclear powered submarine and a nuclear armed one When we say ‘nuclear submarine’ we usually mean nuclear powered

Can the Vanguards launch while in drydock? Asking for no reason whatsoever.

18. Monitors, warships with massive guns and usually armour, for coastal bombardment, were very cool, they should be better remembered
aug 7, 2025, 1:46 pm • 88 4 • view
19. British monitor submarines (HMS M1,M2,M3) were even cooler. They fired semi-submerged with only the conning tower and muzzle above water

You can’t beat the Surcouf!! www.hisutton.com/Surcouf.html H I Sutton - Covert Shores

Cruiser submarines, in general, are such a fascinating, albeit rather useless, concept. The Surcouf is my favorite of these (your diagram of it is spectacular, btw).

20. Considering warships as female is not universal, depends on country and in some cases on the individual name of the ship. Russia for example often considers ships as masculine This lady is HMS Nelson

Briefly recalling a story about large Japanese submarines able to carry planes. Think the idea was to attack the Panama Canal.

Yes, also because they're named after French Marshals 😛
