Photos of Borei and Gorshkov

[plasmahawk]

Our Comrade @ Pilot. Strizhi. info posted a nice photo gallery for the 70th anniversary of Sevmash. Good Photos, especially those showing the modernization of the Gorshkov Carrier for India and the Sea Trails of the SSBN / РПКСН проекта 955.

Borei is here: 955 Gallery.
and the Gorshkov is here: Gorshkov.

open the pages one at a time or it wont load all the thumbnails, for me the highlights are of old glory, the 941 behind the Borei, makes the Borei look not that big.

Also the work on the Gorshkov is progressing nicely, and it looks like its going to be a very nice carrier once its done.
Slick comments, Good Job Sevmash who pretty much rebuilt the carrier, those who were there at the begining of the repair will know what we mean. and Nice carrier, we should keep it for ourselves since the Indians are not wanting to pay.

whoa.... wait a minute comrade! the Akula aka Typhoon is twice the size/well mass wise .. length is only one thing .. thickness and girth .. i mean internal volume and displacement ( heheeh ) is a whole different thing..

Borei... 955
Surfaced displacement 14 720 tons
Submerged displacement 24 000 tons
Length 160 m
Beam 13.5 m

vs

Typhoon - Akula 941
Surfaced displacement 23 200 - 24 500 tons
Submerged displacement 33 800 - 48 000 tons
Length 170 - 172 m

Sure the Akula has more mass but I was talking about the lengh. And the Borei is 170 meters not 160. The delta IV is 167meters.

Size Comparison

The Collins is about the size of the bottom submarine.

No Borei class here but at 170m its not far off the length of the Typhoon.
