Astute Class Nuclear Submarine Manual (2010 to date) - Insights into the design, construction and operation

The Astute-class is the largest, most advanced and most powerful attack submarine ever operated by the Royal Navy, combining world-leading sensors, design and weaponry in a versatile vessel. The submarines are nuclear-propelled and fuelled by a nuclear reactor powerful enough to supply a city the size of Southampton.

Its advanced technology means the submarines will never need to be refuelled. They employ the latest sonar technology, using the largest number of hydrophones ever fitted to a submarine. Linked with powerful onboard electronics these provide the submarines with outstanding sensitivity.
The Astute submarines are armed with the latest versions of Spearfish heavy-weight torpedoes and Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles.

Royal Navy Submarine Manual (1945-1973) - A Class - HMS Alliance - An insight into the design, construction and operation (Haynes Maritime Manual)

An insight into the design, construction and operation of a Cold War diesel-electric submarine. Launched in 1945 and commissioned two years later, submarine HMS Alliance was built for service with the Royal Navy in the Far East.
Alliance had a long and distinguished career of more than 28 years that took her all over the world.

Today, Alliance is the centrepiece at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport, where the submarine experience is brought to life by tours around the boat.
Former submariner and historian Peter Goodwin gives Alliance the Haynes Manual treatment, examining in detail her construction and restoration, and describing what it was like to live, work and go to war in a submarine.

Atom-Uboote - USA, Frankreich und England (Typenkompass)

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg hatten sich Uboote als ernstzunehmende und gefährliche Waffe erwiesen. Allerdings beschränkte der konventionelle Dieselantrieb ihre Reichweite und die Länge der möglichen Tauchgänge. Zudem waren sie während der notwendigen Frischluftzufuhr für die Motoren per Schnorchel extrem gefährdet.

Als die USA 1955 mit der atomgetriebenen "Nautilus" das Atom-Uboot-Zeitalter einläuteten, waren alle diese Nachteile mit einem Schlag beendet und die grossen Uboot- Flotten weltweit mussten nachziehen.

Ingo Bauernfeind schildert in diesem Typenkompass die Entwicklung der Atom-Uboote der Nato-Staaten. Jeder Typ wird anhand eines Fotos, einer historischen Beschreibung und eines technischen Datenblatts vorgestellt.
