Propeller of a Ballistic-Missile Submarine Now Appears on the Internet

Posted by Matt in August 16th, 2007

The Navy goes to great lengths to conceal the design of its submarine propellers, but the aerial photo now on the Internet clearly shows the blades.

While he confirmed that the photo does show an Ohio-class hull, Lt. Cmdr. Chris Loundermon, submarine force public affairs officer, said it’s unclear what submarine is pictured.

Yes, that is an Ohio-class submarine, either an SSBN or SSGN, in dry dock in the Pacific Northwest at the intermediate maintenance facility on the Naval Submarine Base Kitsap-Bangor, he said.

Submarine Propeller Photo

My Comment:

I suspect that this is an elaborate ruse to throw off Chinese intelligence. Why? Because this is such a basic mistake of huge proportions that one must conclude that it isn’t a mistake. The U.S. military wanted the Chinese to see this picture.

Skillfully crafting a new propeller blade could throw off the Chinese for years. However, the Chinese wouldn’t know for sure, so they must expend resources to investigate this type of propeller design.

United States Submarines
A tribute to the modern submarines of the United States. Hope you guys like it. These subs are truly the best of the best, especially the Seawolf and Ohio classes. These are not my pictures or video clips. I claim no right to them, and I just wanted to put them in a movie, so please no yelling at me. United States Submariners, keep up the good work within the silent service.

USS Pampanito (SS-383) US Submarine Rescuing Australian POWs
This video is from the US Submarine "USS Pampanito" (SS-383) taken Sept 15, 1944, while rescuing British and Australian Soldiers, who are survivors of two Japanese Transport Ships the Rakuyo Maru, and the Kachidoki Maru, which were NOT MARKED as they should have been with any Red Cross Flag, and had been sunk 3 days earlier by American Submarines while the Japanese were hauling the POW's from Malaysia to the Japanese Mainland. The Americans were totally unaware of the precious cargo they had just sunk. These men had all been Japanese Prisoners of war for 3 years on the Maylay Peninsula, used in forced labor to construct the Burma Railway. 73 Men were plucked from the water that day by Pampanito, and taken to Saipan, where they were transferred to the US Army Hospital at Tampag Harbor on...

US Family of Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM)
Polaris, Poseidon and Trident I & II SLBMs. The Polaris missile was a submarine-launched, two-stage solid-fuel nuclear-armed ballistic missile (SLBM) built during the Cold War by Lockheed for the United States Navy. It was designed to be used as part of the US Navy's contribution to the United States' arsenal of nuclear weapons, replacing the Regulus cruise missile. Known as a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM), it first flew from Cape Canaveral on January 7, 1960. Following the Polaris Sales Agreement in 1963 Polaris missiles were also carried on UK submarines between 1968 and the mid 1990s. Polaris was replaced in the US Navy by Poseidon, beginning in 1972. In the 1980s both were replaced by Trident I. The Poseidon missile was the second US Navy ballistic missile system, powered by a...

Aussie Sub Sinks US Warship
HMAS Waller tested the latest version of the Mark 48 torpedo, which the US and Australian navies say is the world's deadliest torpedo. It was developed jointly by the two countries to arm the US Navy's nuclear submarine fleet and Australia's six conventional boats and was test fired during a joint exercise off Hawaii. The torpedo, assembled in Australia, has a built-in sonar navigation system to help guide it through shallow water and evade enemy attempts to destroy it. Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon congratulated Waller's crew and said the weapon's successful launch demonstrated the effectiveness of the Collins-class submarines. He said any Australian or US submarine would be able to use torpedoes made in either country. The Australia submarines are being fitted progressively with...

Raw Video: US Coast Guard intercepts drug running submarine
In the last 6 months the U.S. Coast Guard along with the U.S. Navy have found 42 submersibles headed north towards the United States and off the coast of Central America. That is double the number found in the previous 5 years combined. These subs can carry as much as 10 tons of drugs or even weapons and some of the latest models can move 15 knots. This is obviously troubling and makes our war on the cartels that much more difficult. We are currently at Coast Guard Island in Alameda California, where the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Sherman is located. The ship has recently returned from operations off of Central America, where finding these subs is proving difficult. They are primitive but effective and built similar to the subs used in the civil war. Usually about 6 inches or so sticks above...

A retired U.S. Navy ship sinks after being hit by a torpedo
PACIFIC Ocean (July 16, 2008) - HMAS Waller (SSG 75) sinking an unidentifed decomissioned U.S. Navy ship with a Mk 48 Mod 7 CBASS torpedo. The firing occurred during the Rim of the Pacific 2008 (RIMPAC 08) exercise, involving multiple navies off the coast of Hawaii between June and July. This controlled exercise resulted in the planned sinking of a retired US warship. The MK 48 Mod 7 Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS) torpedo is the latest enhancement for the MK 48. Considered the world's premier submarine-launched torpedo, the MK 48 Mod 7 represents a superior capability against both surface ships and submarines with sonar enhancements that make the torpedo an effective weapon in shallow water and in a countermeasure environment. The development of the CBASS torpedo has been...
