09V/09VI (095/096) Nuclear Submarine Thread

[Aspide]

Yasen class, using a reactor with similar thermal output (190-200 MW), has a 38 MW steam turbine.

Yasen class, using a reactor with similar thermal output (190-200 MW), has a 38 MW steam turbine.

Yasen displacement:
Surfaced: 8,600 tons
Submerged: 13,800 ton

Not sure we're expecting 095 to be that big? Maybe Seawolf sized ~9kt submerged. Of course single vs double hull has a big effect on displacement.

Seawolf:


1 S6W PWR 220 MW (300,000 hp), HEU 93.5%
1 secondary propulsion submerged motor
2 steam turbines 57,000 shp (43 MW)
1 shaft
1 pump-jet propeller

Of course 2 x 38MW would put 095 in a class of its own.

Having 2x 38MW steam turbines per boat seems way too much for a SSN.

Both Akula and Yasen SSNs with 12000+ tons of submerged displacement only has one ~32-35 MW steam turbine per boat.

Even the Borei SSBNs with 24000+ tons of submerged displacement has one ~38MW steam turbine per boat. The Ohio SSBNs with 18000+ tons of submerged displacement has one ~26MW steam turbine per boat.

maybe its for two units. 38MW for each submarine.

The tender document did not specify any quantity for procurement, only the designation of the steam turbine (and associated equipment).

Per the naming convention, this steam turbine generator has an output of 38 MW.

Oh my god when will we see the Type-095s I can't wait. We expect a surprise in 2026

I'll be shocked if we see a Type-095 image before 2027 or even 2028. Between the commissioning of the first Type-093B to when we had open source images was quite a few years. I'd expect the same for Type-095.

How about Type 093B ?

 

[Kejora]

Yasen class, using a reactor with similar thermal output (190-200 MW), has a 38 MW steam turbine.

According to wikipedia Yasen has similar steam turbine power as Akula, 32MW.

See the Russian language page. The English page does not even get the reactor names properly.

If true and it uses 38MW steam turbine the Type 095 is going to be a huge submarine. I do wonder about the hull design though.
