Being creative, with intreats, while on social media is horrible because I'll just be watching YT, looking for some background noise while I play games, and then auto play will send my into a rabbit hole of military tech that I'll come out of with the inspiration to design a new missle based CIWS system in From The Depths, only for me to lose motivation when finding targets to test on, only to go back to YT and get inspired again, and yet I still can't test it.

I don’t think people realize how impressive it is that Palestinian resistance forces manually aim and fire at ground and air vehicles and hit them — or that they allegedly work their own production lines to have the weapons. Or that the Yemeni forces blockading the Bab al-Mandab didn’t lose the previous US-UK-EU-supported war against them.

Missiles that use infrared guidance are often called "heat-seeking" because infrared radiation is strongly emitted by hot objects. Many objects, such as people, vehicle engines, and aircraft, generate and emit heat.

Russia's Typhoon-Class Missile Submarine Is Something the Navy Can't Match

Russia's Typhoon-Class nuclear submarines were a vessel the U.S. Navy could never match in terms of size and total tonnage. They carried a massive amount of Nuclear Missiles.

— By Peter Suciu | Monday January 22, 2024

A Big Deal: The Russian Navy's Typhoon-Class — Nearly a year ago, Russia decommissioned the Project 941 Akula (NATO reporting name Typhoon) heavy nuclear-powered missile-carrying submarine cruiser Dmitry Donskoy several years earlier than expected. In fact, it had been only three years ago that the Kremlin announced the boat would remain in service until at least 2026, even as its role was reportedly limited to that of a weapons test platform for the new Borei-, Borei-A-, Yasen-and Yasen-M-class submarines.

In February 2023, it was officially confirmed that Dmitry Donskoy was decommissioned in February due to cost considerations. The submarine had served for more than 40 years in the Northern Fleet.

Initially designated the TK-208, she was the lead vessel of the Soviet third-generation Akula-class (Russian for "Shark"). She entered service in 1981 with the Soviet Navy, and after a 12-year overhaul and refit that began in 1990, she reentered service in 2002 as the Dmitry Donskoy, named after the Grand Duke of Moscow Dmitry Donskoy (1359–1389), the reputed founder of Moscow.

According to Russian media, Dmitry Donskoy initially carried D-19 strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) as its basic armament. Following its upgrade under Project 941UM, it was involved in the tests of the seaborne Bulava ICBM.

Typhoon-Class: Project 941 Boats: The Sevmash Shipyard built six of a planned seven Project 941 submarines for the Russian Navy, and all were operational with the Northern Fleet. Though the oldest of the submarines, the Dmitriy Donskoy was also the last of the class to remain in service.

The TK-202, TK-12 – later renamed the Simbirsk – and T-13 were withdrawn from active service between 1996 and 2009, and scrapped with the financial support of the United States. Two other boats: the TK-17/Arkhangelsk and TK-20/Severstal remained in service until they were decommissioned circa 2013. A seventh boat, TK-210, was laid down but scrapped before completion.

With a displacement of 48,000 tons, a length of 175 meters (nearly 600 feet), a 23-meter beam, and a 12-meter draught, the Typhoon-class was the largest class of submarines ever built. Developed with multiple pressure hulls, including five inner hulls situated inside a superstructure of two parallel main hulls, the Typhoon-class was also wider than any other submarine ever built. The submarines were powered by OK-650 pressurized-water nuclear reactors, two 50,000 horsepower steam turbines, and four 3,200 KW turbogenerators and this provides the boat with the ability to sail at a speed of up to 22.2 knots on the surface and 27 knots whilst submerged.

Each contained nineteen compartments, including a strengthened module, which housed the main control room as well as an electronic equipment compartment above the main hulls and behind the missile launch tubes. It even was reported that there was a sauna on board as well as a small swimming pool for the crew. The sheer size of the submarines was likely welcomed by the approximately 160 sailors who called the submarine home on voyages lasting 120 days or longer, oftentimes without surfacing for months at a time.

The Typhoon-class subs were designed to counter the United States Navy's Ohio-class subs, which were capable of carrying up to 192 100-kiloton nuclear warheads. By contrast, the Soviet Typhoons could carry a primary cache of 20 RSM-52 SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles), each of which contained up to 10 MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) warheads.

Though the Dmitriry Donskoiy has been decommissioned, in 2021, a new sub of the Borei-class has already begun construction; and when launched, will bear the name of the legendary founder of Moscow.

Horizon WIP Post 14

The Phalanx Class Submarines were some of the last ships of the true PSSA Naval Fleet, gargantuan submersible vessels designed to skulk under the waves of the Earth’s oceans. Construction of these 8 behemoths took nearly 20 years to complete, and once they left dry dock in 2249, they would never return, a constant circumnavigation of the planet to ensure orbital second strike at any given time. These ships were basically floating cities, 620 meters long with a crew of 700, and a displacement in excess of 150,000 tonnes. They would not be alone in their journey, out of their launch bays they could field several Recon Simurghs and at least 2 modified Screech Owls, an eye in the sky for pinpointing targets in orbit. These Screech Owls would be different, not only would they bear a naval blue paint scheme, they would trail multi mile antennas behind them in an effort to communicate with allies across the ocean. These ships, true behemoths of Earth, would be the first and last terrestrial naval vessels powered by nuclear fusion, compact Tokamaks designed to work nearly silently, supplemented by a fission reactor for emergency starts that could power a city. Unlike submarines of old, these ships did not bear the traditional hallmarks of their suboceanic predecessors, rather they were focused entirely on surface stealth, heat shielding and wake production were kept to a minimum. Onboard, in the belly of the beast, their true might was contained. Six massive angled launch tubes, each 3.5 meters in diameter, bulged from the deck of the vehicle, containing the Volk Deep Space Missile, produced in the former Russian Republic - one of the last great heaves of engineering before environmental collapse in the region forced them southwards. A launch of a Volk would bring terror and destruction, the six storable first stage engines surrounding the Torch Drive nozzle would burn bright in the night sky, before the deep blue glow of the Torch would mean that a nuclear payload was well on its way to its target. The payload itself would consist of 2 50 megaton plasma enhanced weapons, with the shaping of the charge creating a cloud of plasma to devastate capital ships in orbit or glass a planetary surface - a truly fearsome weapon the likes of which the world had never seen. The Phalanx Class would see combat for the first time in 2263, with PSSA Buckler firing its first Volk against the ICM Hana Brigade, leading their first charge against Earth in the Second Terrestrial Campaign. Buckler however, was not the aggressor in this conflict, ICM cutter Hephaestus would fire a salvo of tungsten kinetic weapons at the sub, which evaded through a successful crash dive. Buckler would score a direct hit on Hephaestus, as well as destroying two Pykrete cruisers in the area.

While 7 of the subs would serve in their combat role, each to the seven seas of Earth, PSSA Silent Shield would be converted for a different purpose. She was to serve as the COGS - Continuity of Government Ship, where the PSSA High Council would be evacuated to in the event of Loss of Command Post. Her mission was simple, protect the council for long enough that a cruiser in orbit could line up to retrieve her barebones SSTO, launched from the converted flight deck. This SSTO would not be the comfortable standard of travel so many civilians were used to, rather, it would be optimized to deliver the council and their staff with minimal equipment if the planet was deemed lost. From there, a cruiser would attempt to make the run to Lunar Space, where they could regroup with a carrier force and hunker down in the Moon’s sphere of influence. An Atrues Class Mass Confinement Carrier would rendezvous with the executive cruiser, and take over the role of COGS.
