It was Soryu (SS-501) that Collided

Anonymous advises the Soryu-class submarine involved in the collision with Ocean Artemis is the first of class Soryu. Its name is, of course, Soryu (SS-501).

The collision occured on February 8 or 9 - depending on which side of the Internationa Date Line you're reading.

    Hi Pete.

    I updated the list of power systems of JMSDF submarines on my blog.[1]
    The main changes are as follows.
    ・The first 3 vessels of Taigei-class (29SS,30SS,31/01SS) will NOT be equipped with 12V25/31S diesel, and should be equipped with 12V25/25SB or its variant.
    ・The first 12V25/31S diesel will be installed in the 4th vessel of Taigei-class (02SS).
    ・Maximum propulsion power of Taigei-class is 6000PS (4410-4490kW).

    Thanks wispywood2344

    From your http://blog.livedoor.jp/wispywood2344/others/Power_Systems_Of_Successive_JMSDF_Submarines.png

    I have used the figures for Surfaced

    2 x 12V25/12SB = total 4,240kW

    and

    2 x 12V25/31S = total 5,520kW

    Regards

    Pete
