NLR Navy Submersible Carrier - LRS Sea Demonby *lonewolf3878

Digital Art / Drawings / Technical Drawings

And here it is.
This submersible nuclear powered carrier (designation SSCN) can carry out attacks by both aircraft and sub launched missiles. It can also be used for large special ops. attacks.

On the aircraft side: It carries 10 F-35B's, 10 AV-8 Harriers, and 5 MH-60R Seahawk ASW helicopters. Both planes can better utilize short take offs thanks to the ski jump at the end of the runway. 2 aircraft elevators are located near the conning tower.
When conducting carrier operations, the control island and radar tower raise up out of the conning tower. Aircraft operations are possible with both in the down position also.

The Sea Demon uses an Aegis radar system to link both it's offensive and defensive weapons. It has 2 launch methods for missiles. Modified Mk. 41 vertical launchers at the rear are used for launching Tomahawk land attack, and Standard surface to air missiles. The 6 torpedo tubes at the front of the sub can launch Harpoon anti ship and Sea Lance anti submarine missiles in addition to Mk. 48 torpedoes. All of these except for the Standard can be launched while underwater.
The sub has a full sonar system and can carry out attacks on ships and other subs.

For defensive armament the Sea Shadow has 4 Phalanx CIWS and 4 of the new Sea Ram sam launchers (which is a set of RIM-116 rolling airframe missiles mounted to a Phalanx radar and mount). Both systems are interconnected for greater accuracy against anti ship missiles. these are retracted into the sub before diving.
It also has countermeasures against torpedoes and missiles.

As you can tell this drawing is far different than my rough drawing. That's because as I converted it to a line drawing I saw stuff that needed to be changed and added stuff (I can't believe I left the sub's fins off in the rough drawing

). Some of the missiles are a little too large, but I just wanted them as illustration anyway.

More ships please.

the whole thing looks about as hydrodynamic as a cinder block in chilled syrup. no aft torpedo tubes, really ultra-obsolete prop design. sail, bow, and stern profile are all incompatible at best. its like a bread loaf :\

i am way too high and tired to even address the whole flight deck nightmare. except the f-35 shouldnt use ski jumps

~ReactorWolf Mar 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I kind of agree with you. I, too, have designed submarine aircraft carriers (what self-respecting inventor-for-fun hasn't?), but this design has a lot of impracticalities. The props are too small, and a ski jump shouldn't even be needed with nothing but STO/VL aircraft, and conventional landing would be all but impossible anyway. Making all the pop-up features watertight or resistant would be difficult, and something this size probably shouldn't carry out anti-sub or anti-ship operations when anything else in the fleet could be spared. Aft tubes are a must, and although it could theoretically be used defensively, such a small aircraft load would make it less effective in combat, and the submersible feature isn't much use defensively. Although guerrilla air launches could be a nasty surprise, getting aircraft onto deck and into the air quickly could be very difficult. In the end, it's either a light carrier with unnecessary submarine or a large submarine with unnecessary aircraft carrier, but the only poor member of your otherwise great family of modified vehicles.

More reasons as to why it's currently at the bottom of Manehattan Harbor.
In two pieces.

Brilliant!

~fugupuffer-68 Dec 4, 2012

can I use it in a fic?

~678091 Dec 1, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

too bad that they retired from service the AV8 Harrier

~CaptainPrower May 12, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

In the U.K., yes.
It's still in limited service with the US Marine Corps due to teething problems in its successor, the F-35B.
