Xlucine Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 More submarine news - the Indian navy forgot to close a hatch on their SSBN: http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ins-arihant-left-crippled-after-accident-10-months-ago/article22392049.ece Quote INS Arihant left crippled after ‘accident’ 10 months ago Nuclear submarine was damaged after water entered its propulsion chamber Indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant has suffered major damage due to ''human error'' and has not sailed now for more than 10 months, say sources in the Navy. Arihant is the most important platform within India’s nuclear triad covering land-air-sea modes. Arihant’s propulsion compartment was damaged after water entered it, according to details available with The Hindu. A naval source said water rushed in as a hatch on the rear side was left open by mistake while it was at harbour. The Ministry of Defence did not respond to questions from The Hindu.

Krieger22 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 FGS Baden-Württemberg has reportedly been returned to Blohm+Voss after failing trials Quote Defects cited in the news report include software and hardware issues, likely the same ones which caused her to miss her commissioning deadline this summer. As Naval Today reported earlier, there are problems with the frigate’s operations room from where the highly-automated ship will be controlled. This is a complex system as the 7000-tonne frigate (close to the displacement range of a destroyer) will require only half the crew necessary to operate the predecessor Bremen-class frigates. FGS Baden-Württemberg has been experiencing problems ever since it was delivered to the navy for trials. In addition to hardware and software integration, the frigates have a listing problem. They list 1.3 degrees to starboard and are overweight, an issue that could possibly complicate future upgrade options. How many ships that listed while fresh out of the shipyards were accepted for service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yeah, I don't get it either. Why is a missile that is tethered to the ocean floor in one spot more survivable than a ballistic missile submarine which can move around?

Xlucine Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I can see some logic to it. You're essentially making a silo launched missile (might be cheaper than SSBN, on station most of the time unlike SSBN) that can't be seen by satellite. In other news, a big grey british floaty thing has floated out of harbour for initial aircraft trials: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2018/february/02/180202-queen-elizabeth-sails-for-aircraft-trials Quote Helicopters join HMS Queen Elizabeth as she sails on first aircraft trials 02/02/2018 Chinook helicopters have landed on board HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time as the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier heads to sea on her next round of trials. The UK's future flagship sailed from Portsmouth today for the first time since being officially commissioned into the Royal Navy in December. She will be launching her first helicopter trials at sea. Two Chinooks from the Aircraft Test and Evaluation facility at MOD Boscombe Down arrived on board this morning as the carrier prepared to sail. The ship will be joined later by two Merlin Mk2 aircraft, with all four aircraft carrying specialist testing equipment... ...HMS Queen Elizabeth's 700-strong crew will be further bolstered during the trials by more than 70 people from the ship's permanently assigned Naval Air Squadron, 820 NAS from RNAS Culdrose, with two further operational Merlin helicopters providing force protection. Of note is that there is two operational merlins on board for "force protection", so this is iIOC! Initial initial operating capability!

Ramlaen Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Zumwalts will be upgraded with the ability to use SM-6 missiles and Maritime Strike Tomahawks. The USN has awarded Huntington Ingalls, Lockheed Martin, Austal USA, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works, and Fincantieri initial design contracts for the FFG(X).

Delivery is only by 2020, with follow-on ships delivered til 2022 I believe. So there's still a small chance it'll be stolen from a German shipyard.
