But, the budget hike is yet perceived except 27SS and 28SS. In fact, LABs are going to be used for 26SS.<br /><br />I do not know about laid down.<br /><br />Regards<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-70344948314067033322016-03-11T18:48:48.638+11:002016-03-11T18:48:48.638+11:00Hi Anonymous [at 11/3/16 1:53 PM]
Thanks for the ...Hi Anonymous [at 11/3/16 1:53 PM]<br /><br />Thanks for the info indicating conversion to LIBs for existing Soryus may be possible.<br /><br />I'm guessing that Japan is likely to be already testing LIBs on one or two submarines.<br /><br />This is given the timings towards the first operational LIBs only Soryu. Using SORYU TABLE at http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/australian-delay-in-receiving-future.html 27SS (maybe the first LIBs only Soryu "Mark 2") might be Laid Down as early as 2016?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-74775536409314996572016-03-11T17:47:52.341+11:002016-03-11T17:47:52.341+11:00Before correction

In this research (research consignee, GS Yuasa; budget 4.6 billion yen), model LIBs had nearly same size and weight (444mm(W) x 431mm (D) x 1647mm(H), weight 770kg) as LABs (444mm(W) x 432mm (D) x 1665mm(H), weight 880kg) used for submarine. <br /><br />Laid down of the first batch of Soryu was Oct/2005.<br /><br />Key alternation of electric current system form DC to AC main motor including controller was already achieved in Soryu.<br /><br />Judging from these facts (same size and weight, big amount of budget, timing of research and laid down, achievement of key current system change), LABs of current Soryu can be exchangeable by LIBs, I think.<br /><br />Regards<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-42249902927296995332016-03-11T11:30:00.561+11:002016-03-11T11:30:00.561+11:00Hi Anonymous [11/3/16 5:48 AM]

I'm guessing it might be the same Japanese sub visiting Philippines in early April, then Vietnam <br />http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/japans-first-ship-submarine-fonop-in.html . Then it may sail south toward Fleet Base West (south of Perth) Western Australia for the training and perhaps a courtesy/refueling visit to Fleet Base West.<br /><br />I'm guessing no similar joint training is held between RAN subs and those of France or Germany?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-48399020313513162912016-03-09T11:22:16.972+11:002016-03-09T11:22:16.972+11:00Hi Pete

But, detail of the joint training is not announced yet. <br /><br />http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20160308/k10010435181000.html (NHK NESWEB, Mar/08/2016)<br />MOD decided to conduct a joint training of JMSDF and RAN, next month by the submarine for the first time in three years. As Australia is going to select the joint development country of new submarines by the end of the year, MOD thinks this joint training is an opportunity to appeal to the performance of the Japanese submarine. *snip*<br /><br />Regards<br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-76215071663774844202016-03-07T12:43:01.537+11:002016-03-07T12:43:01.537+11:00Thanks Ace Pilot - English captioning of Japanese ...Thanks Ace Pilot - English captioning of Japanese Youtube.<br /><br />https://youtu.be/TWkiiCcKKvQ is quite a discovery - only just released on Feb 29, 2016. <br /><br />If only https://youtu.be/TWkiiCcKKvQ could be captioned in English this would be good public relations - increasing the chances of selling to Australia. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-57597864931021025882016-03-07T09:10:48.445+11:002016-03-07T09:10:48.445+11:00Here is a very special video of 5th Soryu class, Z...Here is a very special video of 5th Soryu class, Zuiryu.
