Another Varshavyanka class
submarine in being deployed. Great. The thing is that media claim it is one of
the quietest subs out there. Is it? To present how quiet the new sub is I would
have to give you recorded noise produced by this sub and compare it with, for example,
Virginia class noise signature. This is impossible coz I don’t have those data.
Even if I had I wouldn’t do it coz those data are classified as hell. I wonder
how quiet this sub is. I know that the ability to switch off everything on
board makes it soundless and this is her biggest advantage. Nuke subs can’t just
turn off their engines. Well they can but it is not as easy as you may think.
Russia Today posted info on a new sub, called Rostov-on-Don, entering deep see
trails. Good for her. However, before trails start the sub will have to sail about
2,500 nautical miles (4,630 km) to Barents Sea. This is a big problem I think.
Why? Coz if this sub is as quiet as they claim it is I would do anything to get
her noise signature recorded. I bet during her sail to Barents Sea she will be
tailed at least by one foreign submarine, especially American. Why? Coz Americans don’t have such
a sub in their ranks, like Chineses do, and can’t simply put her to test.
