Project 632 minelayer

In the middle of the last century, military sailors of the Soviet Union ordered a special ship - an underwater minelayer. TsKB-18 was assigned to work on the project, and in 1956 work began on the design of an underwater minelayer.

Due to the heavy workload of TsKB-18 on the design of missile submarines, the design of the submarine, about 40 percent complete, is transferred to the TsKB-16 team.
Based on the requirements of the project, the submarine had to have a diesel engine and accommodate special weapons of about 90 PLT-6 mines, specially designed for submarines; there also had to be the possibility of quickly converting the minelayer into a transport submarine for transporting people and transporting oil and fuel and water. The storage of special weapons was carried out using revolutionary technology, the location of mines between the compartments.
By the end of 1958, the project of the underwater minelayer “632” was adopted by the State Commission, but the project was not included in the seven-year shipbuilding plan, which began in December 1958, but the submarine of project “648” was included. All work was stopped after the seven-year plan for the minelayer project was approved, and was eventually abandoned. The main reasons for the non-implementation of the project were the high cost of batteries and the fact that the Project 648 submarine could perform all the tasks solved by the 632 Project and, in addition, could also perform other underwater transportation tasks.

1 – torpedo compartment; 2 – compartment for installing batteries; 3 – personnel compartment; 4 - CPU; 5 – compartment for storing mine weapons; 6 – racks for storing mines;

Submersible missile boat "Dolphin"

The idea of ​​creating such unique project submitted by the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev. While in Sevastopol and inspecting the naval base, Khrushchev noticed missile boats and submarines standing nearby and expressed the idea of ​​​​creating a submersible submarine fleet when the enemy used atomic weapons. Only because the idea was suggested by the First Secretary himself, the project, so incompatible with the requirements, continued to be persistently developed.

The project, which received the number “1231,” was assigned to develop TsKB-19; for the development and construction of prototypes, it was given the Leningrad Marine Plant. This is what served as the basis for the merger of TsKB-19 and Leningrad TsKB-5 into the Almaz Central Design Bureau.
The development of the unique ship was carried out with great difficulties; it is worth noting that the main developments were done by the boat bureau, which had to study the design of submarines on the fly. Connecting a surface ship and a submarine together was a difficult task, and designers had to show miracles of ingenuity and simplification.

In accordance with the technical specifications received from the naval department of the Soviet Union, Project 1231 was to be used to launch rapid missile strikes on enemy surface transport in places close to the main enemy bases. The missile ships were supposed to arrive in a given area and remain submerged in it and await the approach of enemy surface forces. When the enemy approached sufficiently, the missile ships surfaced, came within missile strike range, and then retreated to high speed in a submerged or surface position.

Work on the design of the unusual ship began in early 1959 and ended with the departure of Nikita Khrushchev from leading political positions in 1964. No one can now say for sure how the construction of the submersible would have ended. rocket ship, if Nikita Khrushchev did not resign from the post of First Secretary of the Party Central Committee.

Main characteristics:
- surface speed 38 knots;
- underwater speed 4 knots;
- ship crew of 12 people;
- four cruise missiles of the P-25 complex;
- approximate cost in 1960 - 40 million rubles;

Project 717 landing transport boat

By 1962, the American submarine fleet made a breakthrough in the construction of nuclear submarines. Soviet Union is urgently trying to catch up and overtake its main competitor in nuclear shipbuilding.
To gain leadership status, the Soviet Union begins designing large submarines for various purposes. In 1967, the Malachite Design Bureau received technical task from the Navy Department to design a submarine to transport troops of up to 1,000 people and a dozen armored vehicles to perform combat missions.

Design Bureau "Malachite" already had experience in developing large submarines of Project 664 and Project 748.
If the nuclear-powered submarine had been built, it would have become the largest submarine ever. Displacement of 18 thousand tons, height of a five-story building, length equal to 2 football fields - a real giant of the underwater world was intended to transport a regiment of marines and various weapons and cargo to specified landing areas to capture bridgeheads on enemy territory.
In accordance with the project, the submarine's hull was made of 2 cylinders. The central compartment housed the personnel of the boat and landing units, numbering more than one thousand people. On the sides of the boat, up to 400 units of bottom mines were placed in compartments, the placement of which, according to calculations, could trap the entire composition of the US Sixth Fleet in Norfolk. By 1969, work on the design of the Project 717 boat was completed.
But by that time the Soviet Union urgently needed submarines with ballistic missiles to achieve military parity with the United States, all the forces of the Central Design Bureau and shipyards were abandoned for development and construction nuclear submarines with nuclear weapons. All work on the sea leviathan was suspended and eventually stopped.

Main characteristics of the “717” project:
- width 23 meters;
- diving depth up to 300 meters;
- speed 18 knots;
- duration of autonomous navigation is 2.5 months;
Weapons:
- six torpedo tubes;
- 18 anti-submarine missiles;
- artillery guns 2 installations;
Transportation:
- Marine regiment with 4 BTR-60;
- a battalion of marines with 20 units of armored vehicles.

Project "667M" - nuclear submarine "Andromeda"

In the early 80s, the United States began to have nuclear submarines with Tomahawk missiles capable of hitting a target at a distance of 2.5 thousand kilometers. In the Soviet Union, in the Design Bureau named after. In pursuit of Chelomey, the Meteorit-M complex is being urgently developed. Cruise missile The ZM25 complex was superior in speed to its American counterpart, the Tomahawk, and was intended to destroy enemy ground targets and targets.

It was under this missile system that they began design work on the re-equipment of the Project 667A submarine, which entered service with the USSR Navy at the end of 1970. The work was carried out from 82 to 85 at the Severodvinsk plant. The missile compartment was completely replaced; the new compartment housed 12 missiles of the Meteorit-M complex.

The submarine receives a new designation “667M”, number “K-420”, the Americans called it “Yankee-sidecar”. At the end of 1983 it became part of the Northern Fleet, and after 30 days combat tests began missile complex. The missiles not only accurately hit the target, but also exceeded all declared indicators; there were no breakdowns or emergency situations.
In 1989, after conversion, the project was closed. The missiles are fired, and the submarine is used as a torpedo submarine. In 1993 the boat was put into long-term storage.

Main characteristics of "Andromeda":
- displacement 7.7 thousand tons;
- length 130 meters;
- width 12 meters;
- draft 8.7 meters;
- diving depth 320 meters;
- speed 27 knots;
- crew 120 people;
Weapons:
- RK "Meteorit-M", ammunition 12 missiles;
- TA caliber 533 mm;
- control system of the Andromeda spacecraft.

Submarine barges and tankers

In the 80s it became current idea underwater barges and tankers. In the confrontation between Iraq and Iran, about 300 different oil ships and transports were destroyed in just 2 years.

Western countries and the Soviet Union are forced to protect vehicles, and therefore in the USSR, at the Malachite Design Bureau, the project of a nuclear submarine for transport purposes is beginning to be implemented.

By the beginning of 1990, designs for tankers and barges with a cargo capacity of up to 30 thousand tons were fully ready. But due to the change in the political system and the collapse of the USSR into separate states, the projects of underwater super-transporters were never implemented.
They began to return to the idea of ​​underwater heavy-lift vehicles today due to worsening cases of maritime terrorism.
Underwater transport will be able to deliver more cargo at depths of up to 100 meters at speeds of up to 19 knots. The team of such transport workers will be about 35 people.

Among the expensive “toys” of eccentric millionaires you can now see not only luxury cars, giant mansions and villas, first-class private jets and amazing ships, but also personal submarines!

10. Private submarine Nautilus VAS - $2.7 million

This luxury "military-grade" submarine can accommodate up to 8 people, is capable of diving to depths of 2,000 meters and can remain underwater for 4 days. The submarine is equipped with an airlock compartment that allows divers to leave the boat and explore the deep sea. Nautilus VAS also has a latrine, stairs, minibar, digital television and a stereo system.

9. Submarine Triton 3300/3 - $3 million

The three-seater Triton submarine, measuring 4 meters long and 3 meters wide, is capable of descending to depths of up to 1000 meters. Bubble shaped submarine is great for sea trips and scientific work, as the transparent acrylic capsule offers a panoramic view of the underwater world. To illuminate the dark underwater depths, Triton uses powerful LED headlights.

For $3 million you will not just buy a comfortable underwater vessel: the price also includes four weeks of training on its operation and maintenance. The famous Discovery Channel used Tritons to film a documentary about the legendary terror of the seas - the giant squid.

This deep-sea vehicle is a cross between a submarine and a boat. On the water, it can reach a maximum speed of up to 40 knots with a maximum cruising range of 920 kilometers, and is also equipped with a diesel engine of 440 horsepower. Using a self-charging electric/hydraulic dive system, the vessel can descend to depths of up to 76 meters. The volume of the boat allows it to accommodate a small crew of 5 people, who will have leather seats and wooden trim at their disposal.

The inventor of the boat, Reynolds Marion, stated that the prototype he created is suitable for both marine research and excursions, and for military purposes.

The Nomad 1000 is an autonomous submarine that can float (powered by powerful diesel engines) one minute and then disappear underwater the next. The submarine is capable of covering up to 1,000 nautical miles (1,850 kilometers) and remaining underwater for 10 days.

One and a half meter high acrylic viewing windows offer an impressive view of the sea. Lying on the double beds, passengers can enjoy an “underwater movie”, while 1000-watt quartz halogen underwater lights will clear up the darkness. On the decks of the submarine, designed for 30 passengers, there are cabins with a bathroom, as well as spacious living rooms with a dining room.

Former French marine Hervé Jaubert, who heads the UAE company Examos, which produces private luxury submarines, has designed an “underwater bus” called Proteus, which can accommodate 14 passengers and combines the functions of a luxury yacht. This 19-meter device looks like an “underwater limousine” with wide sofas, panoramic windows and a Jacuzzi. It is quite possible to organize cool parties or conduct secret negotiations.

Having shot two box office blockbusters and conquered Hollywood, director James Cameron does not rest on this and decides to conquer the ocean. Famous for his love of everything large and expensive, in 2012 he single-handedly reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench - the deepest point on Earth. Such a journey became a reality thanks to a specially designed single-seat submersible called Deepsea Challenger, equipped with special equipment for photo and video filming under water. The device, weighing 11 tons and over 7 meters long, was designed and built for James Cameron over 8 years in Australia.

This was the second manned dive into the Challenger Deep in history, as well as the first solo and longest of all. The descent into the Mariana Trench took 2 hours 36 minutes; Cameron spent about 3 hours at a depth of 11 kilometers. During the dive, the director filmed a 3D video, which he then edited into a documentary.

This “Yellow Submarine” is the property of one of the founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen. The 12-meter vessel can remain underwater for a week. A big fan of sea and underwater travel, the entrepreneur claimed that he discovered the wreckage of shipwrecked ships at the bottom. He also owns a $200 million yacht called the Octopus, which can accommodate two helicopters, seven boats and a crew of 60 people. And its weekly maintenance costs Allen $384 thousand.

The Seattle 1000 is a huge vessel, 36 meters long and as tall as a three-story building, that can remain underwater for 20 days. Its cruising range is 3,000 nautical miles (5,550 kilometers), which means the submarine can go on a transatlantic voyage. The mega-deep submarine also boasts 5 cabins, 5 bathrooms, 2 gyms, a wine cellar, a kitchen, an acrylic deck for passengers to relax, and an aft compartment for divers. The portholes of the large living room reach 2.5 meters in diameter. Perhaps this submarine can be called one of the most luxurious in the world.

In terms of interior decoration, the Phoenix 1000 is comparable to a superyacht, but technologically it is superior to it, since it is both a yacht and a submarine. The 65-meter vessel has 10 bedrooms, several gyms, a wine cellar, a Jacuzzi and many other amenities. The “yacht” is capable of diving to a depth of up to 300 meters, and the mini-submarine integrated into its hull is capable of diving to a depth of 600 meters. The mini-submarine can also transport passengers from the surface to a submarine located at depth and back.

Due to its vast internal space of more than 460 square meters, this sea giant is called the world's largest luxury submarine.

Yes, you read that right. This modern luxury private vessel is one of the most expensive vehicles and the most expensive boat in the world.

Migaloo combines the functions of a submarine and a yacht, although the vessel is more like a “floating city”. The length of the white hybrid is a record 115 meters, and it received its name in honor of the white albino humpback whale. On the aft deck there is a three-meter swimming pool and a landing pad for a helicopter. All this is closed with special mechanisms before the hybrid is immersed in water. Other amenities include split-level cabins, a movie theater, VIP suites, a library, Gym, game room, laundry, private lounges, elevators that take passengers to different levels decks

The main exclusive feature of this floating structure is its ability to “dive” to a depth of 240 meters, which no other superyacht in the world has been able to do. Unfortunately, the six-deck Migaloo is not yet plowing the seas and oceans, but is under construction.

Eccentric millionaires for the most part are addicted to expensive “toys,” including not only private planes and ships, not to mention luxury cars, giant mansions, but also personally owned submarines. They will be discussed in this article.

General information

A private submarine is a trend that the business rich people of the world can afford. This surprises few people anymore. Submarines have long been used for purposes such as military or scientific. Today, any private person can become the owner of their own vehicle that plows the underwater expanses of the oceans.

In the first decade of this century, private submarines appeared on the market. They have firmly established themselves as an exclusive product, the demand for which is constantly growing, despite the fabulous price. There is information that there are currently hundreds of Triton-type ships, but no one knows their owners. Once a submarine is on the water, its further movement is almost impossible to track even with the use of super-powerful search systems available to the military departments of highly developed countries. And if its passage is carried out under ice floes, the chance of detecting the vessel and completely disappearing is small.

Submarine "Nautilus"

The private Nautilus was considered the largest in the world until its sinking. This is the third ship built by Peter Madsen, an artist, inventor, and specialized engineer in the construction of aerospace engines. This private submarine was considered one of the most reliable. It was launched in 2008.

"Nautilus" reaches a length of about 18 meters, the body has a width of two meters. According to calculations, the submarine is capable of diving to a depth of 400 meters. However, in reality she did not fall into the water more than 100 meters. It dives to the depth of the periscope quickly, within eight seconds, but emerges more slowly.

The private submarine "Nautilus" has a spartan interior: a staircase, a latrine, a minibar, a stereo system and digital television. The ship can accommodate eight people, half of whom have the opportunity to spend the night there. It is noteworthy that it is not difficult for one person to operate the submarine.

This ship is called the “yellow submarine.” It is the property of Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. The length of the submarine is 12 meters. She can stay under water for a whole week.

In Cyprus, in the Ayia Napa area, Yellow submarine is located - this is a ship that offers children and adults an unforgettable experience. is unique in its design, which allows you to see the underwater world of the Mediterranean basin without risk to life. This is a kind of attraction located on the water.

In the underwater part of the ship there are large windows through which passengers can observe many of the unique inhabitants of the underwater world and see its landscape. In addition, guests of the ship are offered interesting shows, swimming during stops, and visiting caves under water.

Submarine "Triton"

Two models of the submarine with index 1000 are designed for two or three people. They are intended for relaxation and entertainment. The boat reaches four meters in length and three meters in width, almost square. It has the ability to dive up to one thousand meters in depth. It has the shape of a bubble. On it you can take boat trips and do science thanks to the panoramic view that opens from the transparent capsule. The dark underwater depths are illuminated by powerful LED headlights.

On two similar models (index 3300) it is possible to carry out bottom exploration. The fifth, which is just being designed, is intended for scientific work, although it can also be purchased by a private individual who has a lot of money. Today, many companies are developing mini-submarines. Several models have already appeared on the market.

One of them is Triton 36000/3. This is a unique submarine. Its design is ultra-compact, and its configuration is vertical, thanks to which the submarine dives very quickly, as does its ascent to the surface. The maximum diving depth is 11 km; a boat weighing nine tons covers this distance in just a couple of hours.

The main advantage of this model is its versatility. Firstly, one person can operate the submarine, although three can fit on board. Secondly, thanks to its size and maneuverability, it can be used for any purpose: scientific, search and just for recreation.

The submarine is powered by an electric motor, the energy of which is designed for 16 hours. The main supply of oxygen will last for the same time. In case of unforeseen situations, there is a reserve air supply of 96 hours on board.

Seattle 1000

The dimensions of this vessel are impressive: the length is 36 meters, the height is the size of a three-story building. It can stay under water for three weeks. Can swim a distance of 3000 miles, or 5.5 thousand kilometers. You can go on an underwater trip on a submarine.

The Seattle 1000 submarine is a mega-deep vessel with five cabins and the same number of bathrooms, two training rooms, a kitchen, a wine cellar, a living room, a deck for passengers to relax, and a compartment at the stern for divers. This submarine is one of the most luxurious in the world.

The grandiose world project Phoenix 1000

His goal is a building of unprecedented luxury. But for now this is just a project. The submarine should become the largest ship of the century that can be personally owned. The private submarine Phoenix 1000 will have an internal space area of ​​460 m2. Thanks to the open interior areas, large viewing windows and substantial volumes, the overall submarine looks like a luxury vessel like motor yachts, and the most prestigious ones at that.

It is obvious that this submarine, unlike a simple yacht, provides an opportunity to explore the deep waters of the world's oceans, while comfort and safety are ensured. The private submarine can carry out transatlantic crossings, while developing a speed of 16 knots.

Size advantage

The Phoenix 1000 submarine has incredible dimensions: length is 65 meters, width - eight, displacement - 1,500 tons. Despite the impressive figures, the vessel has excellent hydrodynamic properties. It is expected that its speed at diving depth and surface will be much greater than that of similar small-sized vessels.

Flybridge

This area of ​​the Phoenix 1000 is the top level of the vessel, like a yacht. The only difference is that the material used has the ability to submerge. A lot of space is reserved here for rest and placement of various installations, for example, navigation lights, radio antennas and others.

Phoenix 1000 wardroom

It is located under the flybridge. This area will include acrylic sections in the form of cylinders, the diameter of which is 210 centimeters, thickness - 20. The length of the wardroom is 12 meters. The interior arrangement is comfortable. Passengers can enjoy both surface and depth views of their surroundings.

In August 2017 (11th) of this year, the whole world learned about the tragedy that occurred off the coast of Denmark. On this day it became known that the Nautilus was missing. The largest private submarine left Copenhagen and was heading to the shores of a civilized country - Sweden.

It was assumed that two people went on the voyage: the engineer, owner, captain of the boat, Peter Madsen, and a female journalist, Kim Walt. The boat sank and the man was found alive. He said that he was alone on board, although Kim's fiance claims that the day before the submarine trip he spoke with his bride.

After 12 days, the woman's body was found, but it was missing a head and limbs. His DNA matches Kim Wall's genetic code. An investigation is currently underway.

On the Yellow submarine, the lucky certificate holder is invited to dive into the depths with a diver. You can also become a fisherman and catch a large tuna or even a shark.

The documentary about the giant squid was filmed using the Triton submarine.

Americans Rob Inis and Dan Plaza have long had a dream - to create boat, which could move underwater at high speed and at the same time perform various somersaults, overcoming obstacles. Soon their goal became a reality - they created a model of a modern underwater vehicle, officially named " diving hydrofoil"(VASH - Variable Attitude Submersible Hydrofoil).

Having patented a vehicle for marine or, the developers founded a company called " Innespace Productions" Currently, the organization has made great progress in the production of its unique machines and already has several models of boats that look like various sea animals.

So, the first model is a single-seater called “ Sweet Virgin Angel", which is now used as a demonstration model. After him appeared " Seabreacher J» double diving boat, which has the features of a dolphin and is twice the size of the previous device. The third model of the bionic boat was called “ Seabreacher Y" The car resembles a killer whale.

diving dolphin boat "Seabreacher Y"

diving killer whale boat "Seabreacher J"

The main feature of underwater vehicles is a sealed cockpit, which has excellent buoyancy, and thanks to underwater fin stabilizers, the diving boat can go to depth.

submersible cabin

The average length of boats is about 5 meters. The device is driven by a rotary piston engine from the company " Atkins» with a power of 175 hp, which allows you to reach speeds of up to 40 knots. The underwater vehicle is controlled using regulators that change the position of the fins. In addition, in the upper fin there is an intake hole that plays the role of a snorkel, through which the engine internal combustion receives oxygen. And during an underwater dive, oxygen comes from the cylinder, since the external intake is automatically closed. This volume is enough for a twenty-second dive.

diving shark boat "Seabreacher X"

In 2010 the company Innespace Productions" surprised fans of extreme tourism with her new product, releasing a diving boat " Seabreacher X", resembling a shark in appearance. The body of the underwater vehicle is made of polymer materials, covered with fiberglass, and the cockpit is borrowed from the F-22 fighter. In addition, at the feet of “Captain Nemo” there are small portholes for lower visibility. The safety systems on board the diving boat include three independent pumps, in case the vehicle floods.

Diving boat " Seabreacher X"Capable of speeds on the surface of up to 50 knots and about 24 knots under water. This device is powered by a 260 hp engine. With. Like its predecessors, the underwater vehicle allows you to perform simple pirouettes. But the know-how of the car was the ability to follow for a long time near the surface of the water, putting its fins out and observing what was happening from the cockpit.

In addition, the new machine is equipped with a video camera in the dorsal fin, so that when moving underwater the pilot can navigate by the image on the screen. In addition, the diving boat is equipped with a stereo system and a GPS satellite navigation system. Moreover, a special system prevents water from entering the motor during short-term dives to a depth of 1.8 meters.

I would like to note that the vehicle’s buoyancy reserve allows it to remain afloat even when the cockpit is filled with water.

The company "Innespace Productions" recently announced that the diving dolphin boat " Seabreacher J» is already available for sale. Cost will range from $65,000 to $85,000 depending on engine power and trim options. As for the “shark,” the Americans plan to build it in limited quantities - only 10 models. The price is correspondingly higher - 93,500 US dollars.

The underwater world has still been very little explored by humans. People come up with all sorts of possibilities to explore the ocean and sea depths. Here are some of the possible (the possibility depends on the thickness of the wallet) devices with which you can calmly and comfortably go underwater to admire the fish...

Phoenix 1000 is a 65-meter luxury submarine that was
originally built for a client and is now awaiting a buyer. According to some reports, Roman Abramovich became one of the customers. The submarine is designed to be the single largest privately owned submersible vehicle ever built. The very first clause in the purchase and sale agreement is the preservation of the client’s anonymity. The price is about 80,000,000 dollars.
