Delta I SSBN Sub Brief
Added 2020-09-03 19:06:38 +0000 UTCThe design, construction and operations of Project 667B Delta I SSBN.
Comments
The 1 ton throw weight you mentioned, refers to the RV/bus on top of the missile body...an SLBM weighs considerably more than a Mk-84
2020-12-29 16:47:02 +0000 UTCnot sure what the question is. The single-warhead missile range of the SS-N-8 Mod 2 is ~9000 km.

2020-10-13 01:15:22 +0000 UTCUS Naval intelligence when they learned of the missile range. "What 9000 there is no way that can be right !"

2020-10-13 01:14:04 +0000 UTCMan, I didn't know russia had SSBNs and fitting drydocks in 1798 ! Advanced stuff right there ! (40:14 ;)
2020-10-07 20:48:11 +0000 UTCCurious about the Mike and Oscar classes now.
2020-09-14 19:07:23 +0000 UTCYou are right. Good catch. I'll make a note of that in the Delta-II Brief.

2020-09-10 21:30:41 +0000 UTCReally enjoy these lectures Jive, I would like to see more cutaway drawings and in construction pictures with you going through more of the design aspect of the sub. If you have the info of course. Maybe something to roll into the later Delta lectures would be a side-by-side comparison between the different versions etc.

2020-09-10 21:07:26 +0000 UTCThanks for the great brief Jive. Minor note: when talking about throw weight of the missile complex they probably mean warhead bus weight to rated range, not excess buoyancy of the missile underwater.
2020-09-10 19:54:39 +0000 UTCWhy it took them 2 decades to understand two crew method, and doing the high tempo op? Is it possible that the previous reactors were not that efficient, and that was the reason, it was not just about the crew? And VM-4 reactor really revolutionized there SSBN force. Aaron, is it possible that you able to go into a little bit detail of VM-4 reactors?
2020-09-07 19:30:33 +0000 UTCAll of those periods where those Delta's seem to have perfect records really makes me wonder if they actually did...certainly there must be many casualties never recorded
2020-09-07 12:17:27 +0000 UTCMan these Delta's sure like ice with their vodka!
2020-09-07 11:45:48 +0000 UTCExpect each Delta at about two week intervals.

2020-09-05 20:28:06 +0000 UTCHaha!
2020-09-05 20:26:21 +0000 UTCNow with fresh pine scent
2020-09-05 18:11:08 +0000 UTCexcellent overview as usual. Any rough idea on Delta III or Delta IV? Really looking forward to these. thanks again.
