Research Begins on the Rubis-AMETHYSTE class SSN
🕑 Added 2021-05-19 16:15:34 +0000 UTCThe smallest nuclear submarine ever built is our next entry in the Sub Brief lecture series. The French Rubis SSN. She adopted the design of the Agosta SSK submarine and substituted a very small nuclear reactor as the power source. This has a very interesting construction history with some surprising performances.
We well cover the pros and many cons of this Cold War era design.

Awesome, can't wait!
👍. Right on Aaron. Also you going to include the most recent fire that one of the Rubis had on it?

Awesome subject matter! I've always wanted to know more about this class of boats. So compact, as you said. You just don't hear much about them anymore, fortunately. I do remember hearing about a possible deal between with our Canadian brethren and the Frenchy's. -CV
Looking forward to it.
