This isnt modeled on the Akula

Pictures edited for time being

These puppy's they can help confuse an active torpedo and also help make the sub do incredibly sharp turns, not to mention they can be used as silent running engines and help move in and out of port.

So what about it X mods?

Are those like the maneuvering thrusters on the Typhoon?

Kapitan · 04-12-06, 07:19 AM

Yes they are the same ones almost only the typhoons are alot bigger.

XabbaRus · 04-12-06, 07:27 AM

And how can they confuse an active torpedo?

Also they are for low speed, not 30 knots.

Kapitan you got those pics from subpirates.com didn't you.

They look like the VRSh-4 auxiliary propellers. They only got a few hundred HP in them, so while they may be useful for a slow pivot they aren't going to significant help sharpen the turn at high speed, assuming they don't snap off when exposed to the 30 knot current.

While IIRC they are electric, they are also tiny, four bladed, and probably not particularly carefully silenced. Deploying them also disrupts the hydrodyamics of the hull. I won't be counting on them as a "silent drive", even at a few knots.

Aren't they usually referred to as "spinners?"

Kapitan · 04-12-06, 09:51 AM

That i did xabbarus and i spoke to a person about them directly, i was told they were to generate bubbles or something, but yes i got them from sub pirates.

Oh and before you start accusing me or copyright i already got permission.

At this present time im speaking to Wayne about such devices.

I'd like to know how tiny, high revving, unskewed secondary propulsion propellers mounted behind grilles operate more quietly than a highly engineered, highly skewed, slow turning main propulsion propeller. Let me alert ONI.

Kapitan · 04-12-06, 10:32 AM

My bad i just had to re read an email detailing what they were and they are not realy for comfusing active torpedos they are used as silent motors.

GunnersMate · 04-12-06, 11:12 AM

They are only for low speed manuvuering ie getting underway ala APU's

LuftWolf · 04-12-06, 11:21 AM

They look exactly like the propulsers on modern cruiseship launches... just retractable and really big.

Linton · 04-12-06, 03:22 PM

Most modern RN boats have an "egg-beater " to do this.

GunnersMate · 04-12-06, 05:33 PM

Called a "dolphin d!ck" in USN

Deamon · 05-07-06, 10:53 AM

What are you guys talking about. Are there some images of it ?

Kapitan · 05-07-06, 11:25 AM
