Droper class Patrol attack submarine (long range)

Designed as a Nuclear submarine with the state in the art equipment and weapon systems. The hull design is especially designed to be a improved stealth platform, she is also designed to be stealthy when she is is not submerged. With nuclear reactors and backup diesel engines she can ravel at 30+- knots. she is designed in such a way that if there in near future need a large upgrade, the navy only need to replace one of the inner modules with a new one, this will reduce the time she is in a shipyard by months! Her sonar is a special designed Sonar the can operate in two mode or change between two different modes, active and passive sonar mode, this reduce the space needed for the sonar. she has here own dock for RIB but can also operate one man submarine from that dock or launch large crew of special forces under water. When designers designed the submarine the designed all what was needed in the hull and then added all other things that was needed on her, like the aft torpedo tubes and sonar, then they gave her a outer skin in the same way like a girl take on cloths several numbers for small. The chief engineers said once: "We designed her as a masculine man in girls cloth!"

Surely if it's nuclear it has no real need to surface? It's... An interesting vessel to say the least all the same.

Very interesting design. Can I request an installation of SLBMs onboard?

It's possible by removing the aft dock for RIB and the aft torpedo room so we can move the nuclear reactor a bit more aft and reduce he size of the sail. But the easyest way is to continue on the modular system and just give her some more length by put in a sort of a container with SLBMs, but that can change her stealth capability. But the this vessel is not build to be a SLBM's carrying submarine.

Admiral Smir class

Nuclear submarine. These submarine was designed and build during the 80's, there was build only 2 in the class. they got know to carry to types of nuclear missiles and later got there missile silo redesigned so they can launch Tomahawks missile from a special designed canister. With help with two powerful nuclear reactor this submarine could easily come up in 30 knots. She was designed o carry 2 Zeus nuclear missile, this missile was almost 2 tie the size of a trident missile and it's firepower was up to 5 time as powerful, they was reckoned as the most powerful missile and very expensive to build, even for a rich Navy as the Royal Caledonia Navy had only 8 of them. But because of arms deal, this missile got destroyed in a agreement with the US to carry US designed missile in their submarines instead.

wow nice sub,and i would like to have one Zeus too XD

Would that Admiral Smir class be alone in the ocean or tag along in a fleet?

She can operate alone if necessary.

Its a nice design, I would love to see to aerial view of that.

I just realized you have extremely noisy boats.

Nobody does exposed blow valves anymore since that's where most of the noise of WWII-era boats come from. And the shape of your first submarine suggests a possibility of noise production too. Look at the shape of most modern boats - they minimize shape change between the bow and stern caps in order to minimize water flow disruption, which in turn makes noise (not to mention drag).
