You ...Hi Anonymous [at August 20, 2015 at 1:18 AM]<br /><br />You may well be right.<br /><br />I have altered the text along the lines: The belly arrangement and even existence of the Losharik may also be Russian science-fiction/propaganda. A more conventional smaller sub like the 55 ton Project 1855 Priz class Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) seems more credible. The four known active Priz class DSRVs would be small enough to have on hand at each of Russia major naval bases (Pacific, Northern, Black Sea and Baltic Fleet). <br /><br />A Priz would connect to the back of a mothersub (on secret missions) or be delivered by crane by a Pionier Moskvyy class submersible support ships for overt missions. <br /><br />The crew of the DSRV will maneuver the DSRV above the upper hatch of the escape trunk and then latch on to the submarine (whose crew needs to be rescued) using the built-in eyes on the outer hull of the submarine (in distress). Most submarines do not have the built-in eyes and rely on the DSRV establishing a watertight seal on the area surrounding the hatch. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-77984788383253348042015-08-20T01:18:17.248+10:002015-08-20T01:18:17.248+10:00Don't rescue subs like the DSRV (Deep Submerge...Don't rescue subs like the DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle) need a hatch on the bottom anyway <br />to rescue crews from damaged subs?:<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_trunk#DSRV_rescueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-69507222834755725662015-08-19T18:36:34.481+10:002015-08-19T18:36:34.481+10:00Hi Anonymous

The fewer the hatches the stronger the pressure hull(s) for the smaller sub.<br /><br />Also easier to enter the smaller sub from larger sub (no need to swim from larger to smaller) and the draught of the combined larger and smaller sub is less (ie. better for concealment).<br /><br />Re "make the mini-sub difficult to access (for maintenence or other reasons) while in port" I suspect the smaller sub would detach from the larger sub before they enter the port - then each tie-up to the wharf seperately.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-51000054038404221322015-08-19T04:06:29.886+10:002015-08-19T04:06:29.886+10:00Is it really a good idea to mount the mini-sub on ...Is it really a good idea to mount the mini-sub on the bottom of the mothership?<br /><br />This would prevent the mothership from resting on the bottom, and would make the <br />mini-sub difficult to access (for maintenence or other reasons) while in port.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
