AMAZING RC SUBMARINE TORPEDO FIRING/LAUNCH DEMONSTRATION
AMAZING RC SUBMARINE TORPEDO FIRING/LAUNCH DEMONSTRATION
We've always been fascinated by RC submarines on 'Essential RC' and it was great to film this demonstration by Martin Prior from Crowborough Model Boat Club at the Southern Model Show at Headcorn Aerodrome in Headcorn, Kent, UK.
Filmed by Dom Mitchell for the 'Essential RC' YouTube channel at the Southern Model Show using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder.

Engel 1:100 RC Russian Typhoon Class Submarine
I put this video together with pictures and videos I took over the past 14 months or so (well... mainly the past few months). There is still a lot of fine-tuning to do on the sub, but I would say she is 99% seaworthy and will be ready for her first voyage in no time.

Torpedoes for RC Submarines- kit review (no longer produced)
This is a fairly comprehensive review of the old D&E 1/72 scale gas torpedo kit put out by David Merriman.
YOU CANNOT BUY THESE (so don't ask). They're out of production and there are no current plans for re-release. This information is for your enjoyment, and may help you in the design of your own gas-powered torpedoes.
DISCLAIMER: liquified gas is dangerous. Experiment with and use at your own risk. Proper eyewear and hand protection is absolutely necessary at all times. You've been warned.

US Navy launches most advanced stealth submarine USS South Dakota SSN-790
Touted as the world's most technologically advanced fast attack submarine, the USS South Dakota is set to join the US Navy fleet amid a growing threat to American undersea dominance from several foreign rivals. Operating beneath the ocean's surface, a submarine's strategic value is often tied directly to its ability to navigate in or near enemy waters without being detected to conduct reconnaissance or attack missions. For years, the United States has maintained a technological edge over the submarines developed by rival nations, but recent advances made by Russia and China have sparked concerns of an emerging threat to American undersea superiority. Christened earlier this month, the nuclear-powered USS South Dakota marks the US Navy's latest effort to maintain that edge and provides a technological blueprint for future development. Virginia-class submarines currently cost roughly $2.7 billion each.
The Navy's 70-boat submarine fleet is made up of three major types of boats: ballistic-missile submarines, attack submarines, and cruise-missile submarines.
The Navy currently fields 17 Virginia-class fast attack submarines, which are built to operate in the world's littoral and deep waters.
Virginia-class submarines can launch torpedoes at other submarines and at ships. They can also launch missiles at ground targets, gather intelligence, and deploy Navy SEAL units for special operations.
Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities -- sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security and deterrence, the Navy said.
Incorporating acoustic superiority that is expected to provide unparalleled stealth capability, the USS South Dakota will be used as a demonstrator to prove out advanced technologies, according to Navy spokesperson Lt. Seth Clarke.
Lessons learned from South Dakota will be incorporated into later Virginia-class submarines -- increasing our undersea domain advantage, ensuring our dominance through the midcentury and beyond, Clarke said.
Stealth capability is one of the crucial advantages of submarines ... the Virginia-class brings capability and capacity that is so crucial as we head into potential peer conflict down the road. according to Randy Forbes, a former US representative who served as chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee while in Congress.
The 360-foot USS South Dakota is scheduled to officially enter the fleet in August 2018.
USS South Dakota (SSN-790), is a Virginia-class submarine. The contract to build her was awarded to Huntington Ingalls Industries in partnership with the Electric Boat division of General Dynamics in Newport News, Virginia on 22 December 2008. This ship is the seventh of the Block III subs which will feature a revised bow, including some technology from Ohio-class SSGNs.
The keel laying ceremony took place on April 4, 2016. The ship's sponsor is Deanie Dempsey, wife of retired US Army General Martin Dempsey. The christening ceremony took place on October 14, 2017 in Groton, Connecticut. It will be the third navy vessel to carry the name South Dakota, the previous ships being the USS- South Dakota (BB-57) and the USS-Huron (ACR-9) (Named changed from South Dakota to Huron) A fourth was planned after WW1, but it was canceled, it was the USS-South Dakota (BB-49) .
