History of the World's Largest Submarine

History of the world's largest submarine 2011 is a joint post that talks about the history of submarines and submarine in the world. History of the world's first submarine invented by An inventor from Nuremberg in Germany named Keyser in 1465 is reported to have designed a boat that can dive under water. But that is consciously designed a dive boat to avoid the enemy is a creative English, William Bourne. In 1578 he made submarine plan with sufficient detail. Equipped with tanks (ballast) that can be filled and emptied of water to float again. However, this design does not realize the real, but only showcased in the book Inventions of Devices. Though ballast tank system tersebulah who later became an important key in the submarine.
Hose 30 years later in the history of the submarine, one Italian priest Giovanni Alfonso Borelli in 1680 also designed a submarine in motion with a paddle and using float bags of goat skin. Father was designing boats for the scientist he wanted to observe life in the sea with his ship. But the design remained on paper, and when new people come into the English, Nethaniel Symons copied it in 1747 and tested the boat in S. Themes. Reports at the time said the ship is able to survive in the water for 45 minutes.
A British Shipbuilders other ships named Day in 1773 succeeded his ship dipping as deep as 30 feet. He was wearing a stone ballast which can be separated from the boat. A year later he tried again in deeper waters, the crew immersed Day with their ship at a depth of 132 feet regardless of the danger of increasing the water pressure. Ship and its crew did not rise to the surface, and efforts to help them fail because of the worsening weather. In suspected submarine Day squashed water pressure, and this is the first fatal accident of history submarines.
In the course of history had been long enough, the use of military submarines in order to sink enemy ships, first tested in 1776 by an American freedom fighter, David Bushnel. His opponent is the United Kingdom of AL's most powerful in the world. When the American Revolution began in that year, the British were blocking American sea power. To make up for and against the blockade that Bushnell makes a submarine named Turtle. This small submarines planned to attack the enemy with the approach of the water, and then attach the explosives on the body of the opponent ship. By triggering explosive trigger after 30 minutes the bomb was attached, it is hoped that the small submarine was pretty far away when chasing enemy.
In August 1776, a manned submarine Sergeant Ezra Lee was assigned to attack the British warship HMS Eagle that is equipped with a cannon shoots 64, which is the flag ship of Admiral Earl Howe. This war ships blockading duty New York. But Ezra is the first person in history to attack the enemy with subs, not so lucky. Because people know english and hurried after him with lifeboats. Ezra let go of explosives and the bomb exploded in front of his pursuers so Ezra managed to qualify. Two attempts to attack the submarine performed again, but failed. England versus USA on the war years 1812-13, Bushnell tried to attack again with the Turtle who has been on the increase. Target this time British frigate HMS Ramillies residing in Connecticut waters. The submarine crew successfully docked at the bottom of the English vessel and tried to pierce the hull to place explosives.
At this time the English will launch its newest submarine on Thursday (16.12.10) at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria. Submarines cost 1.2 billion pounds, or around Rp 22.5 trillion was claimed to be the UK's biggest submarine in the world. Named Ambush submarine has a 50 percent larger than its predecessor, Swiftsure and Trafalgar. Length of approximately 291 feet, the equivalent length of a football field. airbush make submarines as the largest submarine in the world. Here is a picture of the world's largest submarine 2011 (submarine Ambush):
 
Remarkably, the largest submarine is able to turn sea water into oxygen and fresh water so as to maintain its 98 crew remain alive. In addition, the submarine is also almost noiseless so it is not easy to detect the enemy. Sonar and radar can detect submarines Ambush other boats within 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 kilometers). So, if you are in the area of ​​sea that separates the UK with France, the submarine can detect ships that are in New York, USA.
 
The submarine does not need refueling and can attack using missiles as far as 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers). The greatest, submarine missions usually only 10 weeks, but in theory this submarine can survive in water without the need to come to the surface for the rest of his life, 25 years. Ambush will carry 38 missiles, the Tomahawk missile cruiser that has the cruising range to 1,240 miles (1,996 kilometers). In addition, the submarine will also be equipped with a heavyweight torpedoes to destroy ships and other submarines.
 
The engine is a nuclear-powered ship can move at speeds up to 20 knots, allowing the ship to travel 500 miles (805 kilometers) a day. So big, nuclear energy is said to be able to support the entire city of Southampton. Ambush will be officially launched and named by Lady Anne Soar, the wife of Chief of Naval Commander Sir Trevor Soar. Furthermore, submarine-sized 7,400 metric tons will be tested. Just to note, this submarine can carry 98 crew. In addition, the Ambush is also equipped warehouse that can store food for the need for three months, consisting of 18,000 sausages and 4,200 Weetabix cereal packs.
