Baloogan posted:Since the USN doesn't operate diesel subs this question might not violate OPSEC: what are the strategies for operating the diesel engines? Do they sit still while charging? When in transit do diesels move at periscope/snorkel depth or surfaced? Yeah this is extremely classified info. You have to realize no one is going to give you any specific answers to any performance related questions or operational capabilities. Surely you see the difference between asking about Mk14 torps in WWII and snorting strategies of modern diesel-electric boats? It comes off as kind of suspicious, even if it's just curiosity. Keep the thread alive but don't earn yourself a visit by very humorless guys in suits - I believe you're Canadian, bear in mind those particular humorless dudes are especially freaked out right now because of a couple of recent incidents.

ded posted:Unless it is a drill or emergency you never stop the shaft from turning because it makes a real loving load noise, so you never really stop moving no matter what kind of sub it is. Haha no you can't. Jesus. Yes you can find answers to questions as to whether they would transit surfaced/submerged (usually submerged) whatever but not "what is the best way to avoid detection while snorting."

Snowdens Secret posted:I didn't really get that that was what he was asking, I think he was going for much simpler concepts. I do understand your concern, and even if it's on Wikipedia that doesn't mean we should confirm/deny it. This seems like safe territory, though (perhaps he's a craftier Canadian spy than we thought!) so I would've responded with most of what ded said. It was a two-parter. General + near-creepy "asking for too much info." I'm not the thread police and there's plenty of neat info to read, but some of the questions asked have been pretty probing, unwittingly so or not. If you can't find the answer by Googling there's probably a pretty good reason for it, but everyone here with sub ops knowledge knows that. I was also an E-7 equivalent kinda-STG so it could just be the no-fun gene. I hate that thing. I will bow out now and take my fun extinguisher with me.
