In addition, ships of this class received excellent electronic and hydroacoustic equipment, almost certainly far superior to the solutions used on the then Soviet ships. In order to carry out such ambitious tasks, when designing Seawolf class ships, great emphasis was placed on soundproofing them, the greatest possible immersion depth thanks to the use of HY-100 steel and considerable underwater speed clearly exceeding 30 knots. Units of this type were planned as highly specialized fighter ships, designed to fight Soviet submarines in their home waters.
The end of the Cold War and budget constraints led to the. At one time, an intended fleet of 29 submarines was to be built over a ten-year period, later reduced to twelve submarines. The class was the intended successor to the Los Angeles class. The Seawolf-class ships were developed and put into production as a completely new structure, intended to first complement and later replace the Los Angeles-class ships (also of the 688i). The Seawolf-class is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) in service with the United States Navy. The ship of this type is equipped with eight 650 mm torpedo tubes.
The Seawolf-class ship is 107.6 meters long, 12.2 meters wide, and has a displacement of approximately 9,300 tons. In total, only 3 units of this type were built. From its debut in 1997, the nuclear-powered Seawolf (SSN-21) represented the lead ship of the deadliest submarine ever to be constructed for the USN during the. Units of this type were built in 1989-2005. Seawolf (another designation: type SSN-21) is the name of the American nuclear powered fighter submarine (SSN) class.
