The 5 fastest submarines in the world
High speed is one of the most important features of modern multi-mission submarines.
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for global military dominance, including in the field of underwater combat vehicles. Leading engineers and manufacturers from the United States and the Soviet Union invested a lot of time and money to develop many submarine projects with superior features and capabilities.
Below are the 5 fastest submarines in the world produced by the US and the Soviet Union:
1. Submarine K-162 Anchar
The K-162 Anchar is the world's fastest submarine developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. During tests in 1970, it reached a top speed of 82.78 km/h, a record that has not been broken to this day. However, the drawback of this submarine is that it makes extremely loud noise when moving at high speed.
2. Lira-class submarine
Project 705 Lira is one of the most unusual submarine classes of the Soviet Navy. It is equipped with an automated command and control system and has a crew of 31. It can travel at a maximum speed of 75.93 km/h.
3. Seawolf-class submarine
The Seawolf-class submarine is the fastest US submarine ever built. During testing, it reached a top speed of 45 mph. It was also one of the most expensive submarine projects in US Navy history, costing $3 billion. The high cost forced the Pentagon to halt the project and switch to developing the Virginia-class submarine.
4. Barracuda-class submarine
The Soviet Union developed the Barracuda class nuclear-powered submarines to counter enemy strategic submarines and aircraft carriers. They were designed to have a maximum speed of 65.1 km/h. The first Barracuda class submarine was commissioned into the Soviet Navy in 1984.
5. Los Angeles-class submarine
While the fastest Soviet nuclear missile submarines could reach speeds of 51.2 km/h, the Los Angeles-class submarines had a top speed of up to 64.8 km/h. Therefore, it was very difficult for Soviet submarines to escape when pursued by the Los Angeles-class submarines after they officially entered service in the 1970s.
