  2. Air-independent propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-independent_propulsion

    Air-independent propulsion (AIP), or air-independent power, is any marine propulsion technology that allows a non-nuclear submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen (by surfacing or using a snorkel). AIP can augment or replace the diesel-electric propulsion system of non-nuclear vessels.

  3. S5G reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S5G_reactor

    Due to the larger size, the S5G was not used in subsequent attack submarines, but was a precursor to the S8G reactor design used in the larger Ohio-class submarines. To further reduce engine plant noise, the normal propulsion setup of two steam turbines driving the screw through a reduction gear unit was changed instead to one large propulsion ...

  5. S1W reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1W_reactor

    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

  6. Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Underwater...

    The Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program (GUPPY) was initiated by the United States Navy after World War II to improve the submerged speed, maneuverability, and endurance of its submarines. (The "Y" in the acronym was added for pronounceability.)

  7. S9G reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S9G_reactor

    The name S9G follows the designation scheme of platform type (submarines), generation (the ninth), and the contractor (General Electric). This pressurized water reactor (PWR), developed by Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (managed by General Electric), features increased energy density , and new plant components, including a new steam generator ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSN(X)-class_submarine

    The SSN(X) or Next-Generation Attack Submarine program of the United States Navy aims to develop a new class of nuclear-powered attack submarines to succeed the Virginia and Seawolf classes. The SSN(X) program remains in the early stages of development and no official details have been released about its design or capabilities.
