Abstract

FIELD: shipbuilding; building of submarines. SUBSTANCE: proposed heavy undersea cruiser consists of three hulls interconnected by means of inter-hull attachments which may be hollow for motion of ship s crew among hulls. All hulls are equipped with shipboard power plants and steering gears. Hydrofoils at regulated angle of attack are mounted between center and side hulls. EFFECT: enhanced maneuverability, reliability and damage resistance. 3 cl, 3 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to shipbuilding, and specifically to the design of submarines - heavy submarines.

 The purpose of the present invention is to improve maneuverability, increase the reliability and survivability of a submarine.

 Various submarine designs are known.

 A disadvantage of previously known technical solutions is that the currently existing systems and mechanisms for maneuvering the submarine are not effective at low speeds, damage to the hull of the boat requires mandatory plugging of the reactor, which de-energizes all mechanisms and systems of vital activity, condemning the boat to death.

 This goal is achieved in that the heavy submarine cruiser is made of three hulls, where the central hull is connected to the side hull fasteners. In all cases steering devices and ship power plants are located, the propellers of which are located so that they form the vertices of an isosceles triangle. Between the hulls, at least two inter-hull hydrofoils are installed, configured to control their angle of attack. Power lines provide electricity from each of the ship's power plants to two other hulls. At least the central hull is equipped with at least two devices sliding out of it, configured to dock with hatches of the side hulls and designed to move crew members from one hull to another. Interframe mounts and hydrofoils are provided with elongated cumulative charges. Some hull fasteners are hollow to move crew members from one hull to another. The housings contain ballast tanks with purge systems.

 The figure 1 shows a front view of the submarine.

 The figure 2 shows a rear view of the submarine.

 The figure 3 shows a top view of the submarine.

 The heavy submarine cruiser 1 (hereinafter referred to as the submarine) consists of three hulls (Fig. 1): the central hull 2 and the lateral hulls 3 and 4, which are interconnected by various interconnects 6. The wheelhouse 8 is located in the central hull 2. All hulls are equipped with ship power plants 5 and steering devices. All the propellers lie in one vertical plane, and the screw of the power plant of the central building is located in the corner of the top of the conditional isosceles triangle, and the screws of the power plants of the side buildings are in the corners at its base (figure 2). This arrangement of propellers allows the boat, by adjusting the thrust of the engines, to maneuver in almost any direction.

 Between the middle 2 and the lateral hulls 3, 4 of the submarine there are inter-hydrofoil wings 7 (Figs. 1, 3), which are configured to control the angle of attack of the wing. To do this, the ends of the hydrofoils are fixed in devices located in the hulls of the submarine and made with the possibility of rotation of the hull of the hydrofoils.

 Inter-hull fasteners 6, inter-hull hydrofoils 7 are equipped with elongated cumulative charges for cases when it is necessary to get rid of one or two hulls (in case of loss of buoyancy, fire, explosion hazard, etc.). In case of separation of the side hulls, they are made with the possibility of autonomous navigation and accommodation of the entire crew.

 In case of disconnecting the power plants of one or two buildings, it is planned to connect a working power plant to their power lines.

 The standard armament of modern submarine missile carriers is distributed between the hulls 2, 3 and 4 of the submarine. The hulls of the submarine are equipped with ballast tanks with blowing systems, which also allow changing the draft of the vessel.

 Some hull fasteners can be hollow to move crew members between the hulls. If the resistance provided by such fastenings to the movement is unacceptably large or affects the visibility of a submarine, etc., then the ability to move crew members between the hulls will be provided by a system of adapter devices that are drawn from the central and side hulls, which are made in the form of a pipe with the ability to dock with hatches located on the side housings.
