Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriers: The U.S. Navy's Ultimate Weapon  The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, named after WWII's Admiral Nimitz, have been the backbone of the US Navy since the 1970s. Originally designed with nuclear propulsion for operational and cost advantages, these massive warships boast huge air wings. Nimitz carriers have played key roles in conflicts from the Cold War to the War on Terror. The class's longevity is remarkable,

For nearly 70 years, the U.S. and UK have dominated the maritime domain and operated nuclear-powered submarines safely. As part of the #AUKUS partnership, the U.S. and UK are assisting Australia in acquiring its own conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability. Check out this video explaining how a naval reactor works and delivers #unmatchedpropulsion. #harnesstheatom | #technicalexcellence | #stewardship 

Nuclear reactors are just cool ☢️ Unfortunately, this video doesn’t highlight the sailors that operate them. For 70 years we have safely used nuclear power by providing elite training for the sailors that operate and maintain the reactors. 🔧 Keep in mind that the majority of these sailors are high school graduates with no prior engineering training. 👷♀️ I know it sounds expensive, and terrifying to trust the government. But with the climate crisis where it is at, how are we not using federal tax dollars to build more civilian plants? And why are we not establishing nuke schools all over the nation? 📚 It is seriously life changing training. Tens of thousands of Americans with high school diplomas could be receiving the same training as Navy Nukes. We could do this, we could change our futures. 🤘🏻

How long is the Delta 4 submarine 😆 There is no submarine called the "Delta 4". The Delta class is a series of ballistic missile submarines operated by the United States Navy, but they are not called "Delta 4". The Ohio-class submarines, which are the primary nuclear ballistic missile submarines in service with the United States Navy, have a length of around 560 feet (170 meters) and a beam of around 42 feet (13 meters)

Dive into history with the USS Barb SSN-596 Submarine scale model, expertly crafted by Squadron Nostalgia! 🚢 This beautifully detailed model honors the legendary submarine and its groundbreaking missions. A perfect tribute to the silent service and a must-have for collectors! ⚓ The USS Barb (SSN-596) was part of the pioneering Ethan Allen-class, equipped with ballistic missile capabilities, and played a crucial role in enhancing the U.S. Navy’s nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. The USS Barb SSN-596 was among the first to be outfitted with Polaris ballistic missiles, marking a significant advancement in underwater nuclear strike capability. Designed for long-term submerged operations, the USS Barb was engineered for stealth and endurance, capable of staying underwater for extended periods while carrying out strategic missions. 🔻🔻🔻 Relive your initial flight, deployment, ship, submarine, or unit by commemorating it with an exquisite model, plaque, or patch! 💯 Discover more on our webpage by clicking the link below! www.squadronnostalgia.com✅ #Squadronnostalgia #Collectible #Handmade #Miniature #Modelsubmarine #Naval #Navy #Marines #Scalemodel #Scalemodelsubmarine #Submarine #Submarinemodel

The Brazilian #Navy just commissioned the Humaitá (S41), its second diesel-electric #submarine in the Riachuelo-class. Notably, the unique aspect about this milestone is that this vessel was produced entirely in Brazil by Itaguaí Naval Constructions (INC), a state-owned #shipbuilder and naval nuclear #engineering company. In the form of a considerable technology transfer agreement, the French #maritime systems supplier, #Naval Group, has transformed the Brazilian defense industrial base, which now boasts enough capacity to produce such a sophisticated platform as French Scorpène #submarines. | https://bit.ly/47w7LUc ⚓ ️#maritime #silentservice #submersibles #AUV #UUV #defensecontractors #defenseindustry #nationalsecurity

The Rubis class The Rubis class is a French nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) that was designed and built by DCNS (now Naval Group) in the 1970s and 1980s. The class consists of six submarines, with the first ship, Rubis, being commissioned in 1983. The Rubis class is powered by a nuclear reactor and is equipped with air-independent propulsion, allowing it to stay submerged for extended periods of time. The submarines are armed with a combination of Exocet and SM39 missiles, as well as torpedoes and mines, making them a versatile and formidable asset for the French Navy.

April 10, 1963... The USS Thresher nuclear-powered submarine failed to surface 220 miles east of Boston, Mass., in a disaster that claimed 129 lives. The USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. Her loss at sea in the North Atlantic during deep-diving tests approximately 220 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts was a watershed event for the U.S. Navy, leading to the implementation of a rigorous submarine safety program known as SUBSAFE. Judging by the 129 crew members and shipyard personnel who were killed in the incident, historic context and significance, the sinking of Thresher was then, and remains today, the world’s worst submarine disaster. As the first nuclear submarine lost at sea, its disappearance generated international shock and sympathy.

The Typhoon-class submarine, also known as Project 941 Akula, holds the distinction of being the largest submarine ever constructed. Designed and built by the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy, this nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is a marvel of engineering. Measuring approximately 175 meters (574 feet) in length and 23 meters (75 feet) in width, the Typhoon-class features a multi-hulled design with five inner hulls, enhancing its structural integrity and survivability. Its unique appearance includes a sail positioned behind the missile silos, giving it a menacing profile. #defense #defence #military #ship #ships #naval #marines #maritime #vessel #militarytechnology #technology #technologies #navy #defenseindustry #defensetechnology #submarine #submarines #nuclear

USS Annapolis (SSN 760) arrived in HMAS Stirling in Perth, Western Australia Sunday. This marks the second visit by a U.S. fast-attack submarine to HMAS Stirling since the announcement of the AUKUS (Australia, United Kingdom, United States) Optimal Pathway in March 2023. The Optimal Pathway is designed to deliver a conventionally armed, nuclear-powered attack submarine capability to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Increasing the number of SSN visits to Australia and the establishment of SRF-W comprise the first of three Optimal Pathway phases. As early as 2027, the United States will begin rotational presence in the Western Australia facility as a way to grow the RAN’s ability to operate and maintain a fleet of SSNs. Ultimately, there will be up to four U.S. Virginia-class submarines and one United Kingdom Astute-class submarine at HMAS Stirling. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gESwj5AT
