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

Pew Pew Pew.

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

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

Yeah she’s on any top 5 list of greatest submarines ever By M class is high too

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).

This would be even harder for a sub.

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

21. The first female submarine crewmember was likely a Norwegian in 1980s. The first female submarine captain was Solveig Krey, Royal Norwegian Navy, 1995

22. Today, almost half of navies with submarines allow females to serve aboard. www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

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 😛
