The S1W reactor was the first prototype naval reactor used by the United States Navy to prove that the technology could be used for electricity generation and propulsion on submarines. The designation of "S1W" stands for S = Submarine platform; 1 = First generation core designed by the contractor; W = Westinghouse was the contracted designer
The 38 8-1/8 was reverse-engineered in the USSR and used as a primary engine for railroad locomotives. The first Soviet mass-produced diesel locomotive, TE3, was powered by a 1470 kW (2000 hp) 2D100 engine, direct descendant of the marine 38 8-1/8 engine. The TE3 was produced in high numbers (up to 7600 units), and proved to be a reliable ...
The S1G reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on warships. The S1G designation stands for: S = Submarine platform; 1 = First generation core designed by the contractor; G = General Electric was the contracted designer
For a long time, the Mark 37 was a primary U.S. submarine-launched ASW torpedo. It was replaced by the Mark 48 starting in 1972. The remaining inventory was then rebuilt and sold to several countries, including Israel, as the NT-37C after the vacuum tube guidance systems were replaced by solid-state electronics and the electric propulsion was ...
The Cleveland Diesel Engine Division of General Motors built the majority of submarine engines during World War II. The Model 16-248 and 16-278A were installed in many of the Salmon , Sargo , Tambor , Gato , and Balao classes of diesel electric submarines built in World War II and they continued to operate in U.S. service until the 1980s and in ...
The USS Tullibee was an early advanced-design, fast-attack submarine constructed by Electric Boat and commissioned in 1960. Throughout the Cold War , the S1C Prototype nuclear submarine propulsion plant at the Windsor Site (41°52'44"N 72°43'03"W) supported the submarines and surface ships of the Navy’s nuclear fleet by testing new equipment ...
The S5W was the standard reactor for submarines of the United States Navy from its first use in 1959 on USS Skipjack until the introduction of the Los Angeles-class submarines with S6G reactor in the mid-1970s. One S5W plant was also used in the United Kingdom on the Royal Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine HMS Dreadnought. [1]
The S1B reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on Columbia-class submarines. [1] The S1B designation stands for: S = Submarine platform; 1 = First generation core designed by the contractor; B = Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation is the contracted designer
