STURGEON
SUBMARINE MODEL
Stopped The Soviet Navy - Influenced Modern Attack Subs
The Sturgeon class was nuclear-powered fast attack submarines in
service with the United States Navy from the 1960s until
2004. They were the platform of choice for many of the
Cold War missions for which submarines are now famous.
The Sturgeon submarine
model was built for anti-submarine warfare. They were heavily armed,
with missiles including Tomahawks and Harpoons, as well
as mines. The Sturgeon submarines also integrated new
noise-reducing technological breakthroughs.
Some of
the USS Sturgeon submarine’s distinguishing features
included a retractable towed sonar array, a large sail
to allow for multiple antennas, an ability to fire
torpedoes, and a half-inch rubber coating covering a
glass-reinforced plastic dome to improve sonar sphere
performance.
The sail-mounted dive planes rotate
to a vertical position for breaking through the ice when
surfacing in Arctic regions. The Sturgeon submarine
model had a top speed of 26 knots.
The last nine Sturgeon
submarines were lengthened 10 feet to
provide more space for electronic equipment and
habitability. The extra space also helped facilitate the
use of dry deck shelters first deployed in 1982.
In the 1980s,
the Navy upgraded its Sturgeon-class boats to include the BQQ-5 sonar suite with a
retractable towed array -- a technology that is widely
used today.
