russians put thier waste into a bag and put it into a sort of can thing and then squash it into the can and eject it over board

So, Bellman, you've heard about the Russian work on sail-mounted crap detectors? ;) :lol: :-j

:rotfl: ''Sail mounted...........''
LW Why do you think Kapitain reported 'close pursuit' tactics. :-j
Hes also given away details of their latest secret weapon above. Note the packing into a ''sort of can'' :lol:
He'd have us believe that its merely ''ejected over the side''

That 'can' which is 'ejected' is a crap torpedo. Its purpose, I gather, is twofold. Firstly the non-hostile removal
of the offensive and detectable material to a 'safe' distance away from the sub.Secondly in wartime action
it marks an opponent like a paintball or dye. The Mark C Torp has been designed to 'mark with c*** (sic)
The target platform is unaware that it has a limpet attachment which slowly diffuses its very traceable contents
that are tracked by sophisticated sail-mounted sensors on the Russian sub.

huh?

No you got it all wrong, its towed behind the boat so it can detect when a NATO sub is trailing them by the sanitary tank dumps. The Victor IIIs where the 1st to have them. ;) Also the newest Akulas have three detectors mounted forward of the sail for when they are tracking US Aircraft Carriers since all the aviators aboard leave a massive wake of Bull S*it behind it. :D

:rotfl:

Sounds about right, since I'm pretty sure Russian sonars could only detect a Nimitz once they've been basically run over by it. :-j

French do the same and put additionnal weight in the bag to be sure nothing will go to surface.
Some subs were detected with this : nothing more revelant than a package of biscuit in french or any language to know there is some non expected sub in the area ...
I know waste ejection is a complex process on our subs, to avoid any sign of the sub presence.

I've never heard it called that before... :rotfl: :88)

well ... there is not only toilet waste to eject, but also garbage.
And garbage is the most important part, in weight and volume.
When you have some package floating with foreign language on it, you could imagine there is some unexpected foreign ship around, and if you have nothing on radar ...
The history of garbage is not fiction, it happens, and this conduct french navy to introduce a special process to avoid it anymore, 30 years ago.
I don't know about other navies ... but I suppose they do the same.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
TLAM :lol: I'm gonna take that one real personal.....My tanks are full bruv and Im heading your way. :arrgh!: :hulk:

:-j

'' The History of Garbage.'' :lol:

Close to home - look at the postings in 'General' on the SS. Human GIGO.
Still, on topic, the printouts make good toilet paper. :huh: :o :stare: :down: :arrgh!: :damn:

OKO:-Bill:- Seriously this is a real issue. It seems that the French have the answer by clearing it from the sub possibly in
bio-degradable containers. But this entails the risk in surfacing (?) so may not be as secure as other possible solutions.
The weight reduction must impinge on 'future' performance as whilst equilibrium is maintained by its replacement
with water, this can be discharged for greater bouyancy. So your performance potential has improved.

On a long patrol in Cold War like conditions its an issue which will require carefull route planning.
