In fact I have never read about submarines going up rivers submerged. I did read about an incident when a new model Russian sub came out that one of ours managed to get pictures of it without getting detected. The skipper got close enough that the picture was three frames taped together. Another incident was not so good. Our boat was detected by the Russians north of the Aleutians in Russian waters. They were able to keep on her tail for three days until our sub had to give up and surface under the Russian's guns. very embarrassing.Could you give your source for the up rivers under ships?

It was on a chamber of commerce website for a city along the Illinois river. Seneca? [Reply]  [No Email]

At that time they where not even listed as active boats if what we where told was true. So as you call it the cold war shoot that started what in the middle of the 50s??? And went on till the 90s when the wall came down between east and west Germany [Reply]  [No Email]

Holds some pretty impressive record. Deepest dive by a sub 3000+ feet. Deepest firing of a torpedo. USS Dolphin. [Reply]  [No Email]

As for design specs. A little figuring knowing the pressure hull thickness, the steel allow and the placement of stiffenng ribs. Any hughschool student can figure dive capability within a 100 feet give or take. Reactor power, steam generator size/surface area, material and thermal output is just a few calculations. The laws of physics are not a secret. [Reply]  [No Email]

Please as I have asked before if you can not say things to go along with what I say but instead try to prove me wrong just leave me alone. O know the oath I took and what I was told you do not and sadly do not seem to understand that [Reply]  [No Email]

Instead of the shake , rattle and hum of a U235 fueled boiler. One of the reasons the new subs are electric drive. To allow higher performance with the reactor scramed for silent mode.
