Trip with UC3 Nautilus

McBeck · 09-21-08, 08:41 AM

She can sail on her own now. We expect her to be able to dive in 2-3 months

Nautilus and Kraka, sailing through Copenhagen habor:

Wow.

Jimbuna · 09-21-08, 10:42 AM

Coming along really nicely....looking forward to seeing her in 2009

McBeck · 09-21-08, 11:16 AM

I really look for seing how fast she will be able to dive...Peter made the holes in the bottom for the water intake app 3 feet wide!

You can see the main ballast tank valves in the video... 1 in the bow and 1 in the stern.

Peter told me will be able to sink VERY fast

Jimbuna · 09-21-08, 12:05 PM

I'd be more interested in how quickly she can surface

Frame57 · 09-21-08, 12:27 PM

Agreed! Submerging is the easy part, surfacing well that is another story...

McBeck · 09-23-08, 10:19 AM

I just added a Video of Kraka too

Great vedios, beautiful tell us her underwater speed once you can get her to dive.

How many subs do you all have now?

Also, You have nice subs, You got your own fleet now.:rotfl:

McBeck · 09-30-08, 07:06 AM

The underwater speed will be max app. 7-8 knots.

Actually we do not have any sub right now that can dive. Freya has been decommissioned for a few months not. Kraka has a broken exhaust system, that can be repaired, but we will rather put our time into getting Nautilus ready to dive. Kraka will soon be decommissioned as well - it takes allot of time to have a sub operational!

nice video! I forget. What's the deepest the Kraka has actually dived? The kraka has just sailed in the harbor? What's the longest "patrol" time?
