Recently found an error in the construction of a new class submarine "S-80" Spain. A design engineer has made a mistake in calculating the weight of the submarine. S-80 submarines for the first time built it turns out one hundred tons heavier. That means, after the dive, the submarine will be difficult to surface. Even
in some conditions such as equipment failure or damage due to the
fighting, the submarine was not expected to show up at all to the
surface.
Submarine S-80 is designed to survive the leak and take the extra weight (water) while diving and could still reappear. But the addition of one hundred tons accidentally steel and equipment have reduce / eliminate that ability.
Rice has become porridge, and the most practical solution to that is to increase the length of the submarine up to 5-6 meters, thus giving more internal space is filled with air and buoyancy. This will improve the ability of the submarine to float.
An American company, Electric Boat, Spain has been contracted to help with this modification (add to length). This modification will increase the price of submarines around five per cent and make the S-80 delayed delivery of the first 2015 to 2017. This modification will certainly restore the morale of the crew who will mengawakinya later, but not for taxpayers Spain.
A decade ago the Spanish Navy ordered the manufacture of four submarines S-80, with the cost of each valued at 280 million dollars. Manufacturing was delayed until 2007, and the estimated cost has been increased to 700 million dollars per submarine.
S-80 is a Spanish submarine design with the features of air independent propulsion (AIP). AIP submarines make survive in water without the need to take the air or surface to breathe through the snorkel. Engine of modern AIP submarines first appeared in the late 1980s, when Sweden was then put on a Stirling power plant types Nacken their class submarines. S-80 is already using a more modern AIP.
S-80 has a length of 71 meters, weighs 2,200 tons on the surface, has a crew of 32 (plus 8 passengers) and fully automatic. Design S-80 refers to the type of submarine silent (silent / quiet) other, using electronic sensors and fire control system America. These six 533 mm torpedo tubes can also be used for mines and cruise missiles.
