A26 Blekinge Retrofit

An old Earth design submarine, for it's time it was quite advanced in stealth and shallow water operations. The former proving useful in the conditions of Europa. At some point several models of the submarines came to Europa where the Enkelt Europan Shipyards retrofit the subs and resold the models. With aging diesel-electric generators replaced with an automated nuclear reactor, upgraded twin-engines, outdated and unneeded compartments stripped to make room for 3 new hull-mounted turrets, an expanded and remodelled "Frogman Airlock" at the front of the sub for boarding purposes, expanded cargo and sustainability capabilities, expanded and improved ballast tanks; the A26 is a robust multipurpose sub fit for nearly any task but serves best as a (submarine or creature) hunter-killer. However, while the ship's power grid was designed to mitigate nearly all over/under voltage situations, this has made it purely reliant on it's batteries maintaining a charge, which can sometimes be difficult to balance between the vessel's mighty twin-engines, onboard facilities and weaponry.

Armament: 3x Coilguns (2x dorsal and 1x ventral), 2x Railguns (fixed forward)
Reactor Output: ~6000kW
Horizontal Speed: ~36 km/h
Vertical Speed: ~19 km/h
Recommended Crew: 4 - 8





My first sub, if it's bad please do tell.

15/10/2024 Added a pirate variant.

17/10/2024 Added the A26, a tier 3 variant;
-Hull length extended by ~2m to accomodate new systems and compartments.
-New durable batteries.
-Removed the water duct between Crew Quarters and Electrical, installed new water pump systems in Crew Quarters and Electrical with the combined desired effect of lessening flooding of the battery systems during hull breaches.
-Small brig with a recommended capacity of 2 prisoners.
-Additional diving suit and locker situated between the navigation consoles and gunnery compartment.
-Shrunk the forward frogman airlock due to complaints about excessive flooding during routine use.
-A new 4th turret system, forward ventral chaingun turret.
-Forward dorsal turret has been replaced by a flak cannon.
-Repositioned aft ventral turret to better cover the bottom of the sub.
-Installed a discharge coil above the command room to cover the fore ventral blindspot.
-Extended frogman airlock ladder, allowing easier re-entry of the sub.
-Upgraded ballast tank pumps.
-Minor layout and QoL changes for better sub efficiency and crew satisfaction.
