10 Most Incredible Submarines Of ALL TIME !

the idea of an underwater boat or submarine has been around for a very long time and since the very first submarine new designs and technology have created some of the most feared underwater war machines of all time today we'll take a look at everything from the world's first submarine to the world's fastest submarine so grab your diving gear as we check out these 10 most incredible submarines of all time number one the first submarine in the world drebbel submarine 1622 1624 it might be hard to believe just how early the first submarine in the world was built but you just might be surprised a man by the name of Cornelis Jacobson drebbel was a Dutch engineer and inventor who was the builder of the first navigable submarine clear back in the year 1620 Kanellis was an innovator and contributed to the development and measurement of control systems optics and chemistry he was known as the Thomas Edison of his era the submarine he designed had a leather covered wooden frame and between 1620 and 1624 trebles successfully built and tested two more submarines with each one being bigger than the last the final and third submarine that drebbel built had six row boat oars and could carry 16 passengers it was such a cool design that the sub was demonstrated to King James the first in person and several hundred Londoners at this point you're probably wondering how deep it could go turns out his submarine could stay submerged for three hours and could travel from Westminster to Greenwich which is about eight point nine miles the interesting thing is that while it sounded like a cool idea at the time it couldn't attract enough enthusiasm from the Admiralty and was never used in combat in fact semi and even completely submerged ships as well as fully covered ships were no novelty at all back then and had been used in action several times each time attracting headlines number two the first submarine used in combat the turtle submarine 1775 so now you might be asking yourself what was the first submarine ever used in combat well if you guess the turtle or as it's also been called the American turtle then you guessed right if you're looking at written records it turns out that this was the world's first submersible vessel that had a documented record of use in combat the submarine was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to enemy ships that were sitting in a harbor and for use against the Royal Navy vessels which at the time were occupying North American harbors during the American Revolutionary War Jonathan Trumbull who was the governor of Connecticut recommended the invention to none other than George Washington he thought it would prove useful and provided support and funds for the development and testing of the turtle but just because it's all wartime action doesn't mean it was a success many attempts were made at using the turtle to attach explosives to the undersides of the Royal Navy warships that were parked in New York Harbor in 1776 all of them failed and the British even sunk the transport ship and the turtle was lost no one really knows what happened to it but there are replicas that were built that are on display if you want to see what it looked like in person there's one on display in the Connecticut River Museum the US Navy's submarine force librarian Museum the Royal Navy submarine Museum and the oceanographic museum in Monaco number three USS Holland SS 1 many submarine designs failed in early history and it would be over a hundred years later for the first submarine to be commissioned by the u.s. Navy it was laid down on November 1896 and launched just a year later in 1897 it was called the USS Holland taking its name from its inventor John Philip Holland who was an Irish born engineer and one of the most prolific submarine pioneers of the late 19th and 20th centuries the submarine was 54 feet long and had a single 18 inch torpedo tube holding three torpedoes and an eight-point four to five inch pneumatic cannon called the dynamite propulsion came from a four-cylinder gasoline engine for surface travel and when submerged used a 160 horsepower electric motor to get around a 66 SEL Exide battery powered the electric motor when submerged and allowed it to travel speeds of up to 6 knots which is six point nine miles per hour surface the submarine could travel at six point three miles per hour on the four-cylinder gasoline-powered engine the interesting thing is that the holland never saw combat but was purchased from the US government for $150,000 on April 11th 1900 to be the first truly successful craft of her type number four the IEEE 400 class submarine moving forward in history we come to the Japanese submarine the I four hundred class during world war ii the i four hundred class submarine which was built by the imperial japanese navy was known as the largest submarines built during world war ii they were actually the largest submarines to exist until the construction of nuclear ballistic missile submarines in the 1960s the Imperial Japanese Navy called this type of submarine to the santoku type submarine or Tokugawa sense week on but these were not your usual submarines in fact they were more like submersible aircraft carriers that were able to carry three Aichi m6 ACR and aircraft underwater to their destinations when getting to its destination it would surface launch the three planes and then quickly dive again before being discovered number five the smallest submarine in the world while we touched on the subject of the first largest submarine ever built we should talk about the smallest submarine in the world no we're not talking about models but in actual submarine a crew can pilot the Biber which is German for beaver was the submarine built by the Germans during World War two it was hastily developed I'll meet the threat of an Allied invasion of Europe which resulted in basic technical flaws that combined with the inadequate training of the operators these subs never posed any real threat to Allied shipping despite 324 of these Marines being built however one of the few successes was the sinking of the cargo ship allan-a-dale if you want to see one there are some number of these that have survived and are sitting in museums including one that's been restored to fully operational condition number six typhoon-class submarine world's biggest submarine we're finally getting to the current hunter killers of the deep and when it comes to the world's current biggest submarine the Russian typhoon class or a coolest submarine is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine first deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s with a submerged displacement of 48,000 tons the typhoons are the largest submarines ever built these submarines are able to accommodate comfortable living facilities for an entire crew and be submerged for months on end without a need to surface or refuel besides their missile armament the typhoon class has six torpedo tubes designed to handle RPK two missiles or type 53 torpedoes their primary weapon system is comprised of 20 r39 ballistic missiles with a maximum of 10 Merv nuclear warheads each with as big as it is it's surprising that the typhoon is capable of traveling at 32 miles per hour or 52 km/h underwater despite their awesome size and armament in 2013 the state-run riaa Navasky News has announced that the Russian Navy will scrap two typhoons beginning in 2018 and will no longer upgrade the remaining subs number seven fastest submarine in the world so now we come to the fastest submarine ever built and it might not surprise you that it's another Soviet submarine called the golden fish and currently it still holds the record for the fastest submarine ever it was built under the name project 661 and is extremely fast underwater but it was so very costly and complex to build it all began some 60 years ago Soviet engineers began to develop this new sub under strict orders to skip all previous designs and be innovative when possible basically build an entirely new submarine project 661 was the product of a direct order from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union which called for a new high-speed submarine the project 661 design was also known as the anshar class in the Soviet Union and NATO referred to it as the papa class however only one submarine was ever built so how fast is this submarine the project 661 boat could cruise submerged at just shy of 44 miles per hour it was so fast it broke the world speed record for a submarine traveling undersea during its sea trials reaching a maximum speed of more than 51 miles per hour number 8 the deepest submarines in the world k2 78 many submarines travel some of the deepest waters in the world it was on August 4th 1984 when the Soviet nuclear powered submarine k2 78 consummate a record submerge depth of 1,000 27 meters for 3,000 369 feet in the Norwegian Sea at a depth of 800 meters or 2624 feet the submarine made a torpedo salvo nobody had done anything like this before or has successfully attempted this after even present-day submarines can't go deeper than 2,000 feet or 600 meters it was the only submarine of the plotnick project and took years to design the design of the sub was finally realized in 1978 and designers used titanium to create a light but very tough hull but the project came to a tragic end when on April 7th 1989 but the project came to a tragic end when on April 7 1989 a fire broke out in one of the submarine sections and it's surfaced but couldn't wait long for rescue ships to arrive 42 of the 69 crew perished spending more than an hour in the cold water of the norwegian sea number nine virginia-class submarine when it comes to state-of-the-art submarines the United States virginia-class submarine is the most technologically advanced submarine in the world it's a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine and has the very latest in stealth intelligence gathering and weapons systems technology the length of this awesome boat spans 377 feet and weighs seven thousand nine hundred metric tons this underwater silent hunter killer submarine is powered by an sg9 nuclear reactor and can cruise at almost 30 miles per hour and this submarine never needs to surface and is limited only by food and maintenance requirements she's armed with the latest weapons and as 12 tomahawk bgm 109 cruise missile tubes and for 533 millimeter MK 48 torpedo tubes and can carry a total combination of 65 torpedoes and missiles number 10 what about future SMX 31 any of the future concepts when it comes to submarines it's hard to know what the future holds but you can be certain that new designs are being realized each day with the help of modern technology and advanced computer-aided design a French contractor is designed what's called the SMX 31 also known as the electric it's a heavily-armed concept submarine and supports a wide range of unmanned vehicles and can even function as a mothership to naval Special Forces the submarine is also heavily automated with a crew of just 15 it was first unveiled at the Euro naval exhibition in Paris the SMX 31 breaks almost every convention of submarine design and lacks a conventional sail giving it an organic whale-like appearance it said the design was inspired by the sperm whale it has retractable hydroplanes that fold into the hull a hexagonal pattern skin with built-in sensor antennas and a pair of rim drive propulsors housed in the stern of the craft but the French are also working on another concept submarine called the SMX 25 but it certainly has a different and is more modern Lee streamlined and looks like a giant underwater dart the SMX 25 will be equipped to deploy SEAL Teams and their delivery vehicles unmanned underwater vehicles and even unmanned aerial vehicles it'll also include some fairly heavy weaponry including 16 missiles for heavy machine guns and torpedoes operated by a crew of 27 plus 10 commandos this is one submarine that you wouldn't want sneakin into your armor we hope you enjoyed the video and we
