The vessels have enough space for 80 people and are propelled by a fourth-generation nuclear reactor. It has a 30-year lifespan without any need for refuelling. Lastly, these vessels have a noise reduction system driven by a KTP-6 reactor. Each submarine has an estimated construction cost of...
The Typhoon has a submerged displacement of more than 48,000t and is the world’s biggest submarine class. It is a nuclear-powered submarine equipped with ballistic missiles. Dmitry Donskoy, the first of the six submarines in the class, was commissioned in 1981 and is still in active service...
By the time they launched at the start of World War II, aircraft carriers had begun to eclipse battleships. The Yamato once did get close enough to engage U.S. warships at the battle of Leyte Gulf, but submarine and aircraft attacks forced its retreat. Bombs and torpedoes sunk both ships...

The Terror of Russia's Nuclear Submarine Graveyard Meet the World’s Most Dangerous Submarines The first submarine in the Typhoon class, Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208), entered service in 1981. Russia built five Typhoons in total, but today, only Donskoy remains in service. The sub has spent its ...
"This find is significant as India expands its nuclear programme," Robert Vance, an analyst from the Paris-based Nuclear Energy Agency, told AFP. "It could more than double the total uranium deposits in the entire country." But he questioned claims that Tumalapalli may become the world's ...
This summer we were glued to our news feeds as drama unfolded 3,500 meters below the ocean’s surface. An experimental submarine with five people aboard was lost after descending to see the wreck of theTitanic. GDA VIA AP IMAGES The Titan was a radical design for a deep-sea submersible:...
It might surprise you to learn that nuclear bomb tests during the Cold War are now helping conserve whale sharks, the largest living fish. Growing up to 18 meters—longer than the average bus—whale sharks live in all tropical oceans. In Australia, they are found off tropical coasts in the...
The high yield market is a large and mature asset class with many high quality issuers. We are reminded Huntington Ingalls, the only aircraft carrier builder and one of two nuclear submarine builders for the United States was high yield when it was spun out of Northrop Grumman in 2011. ...
