How deep can a nuclear submarine go?
Asked by Wiki User
It varies by the type of submarine. United States, Russia, United Kingdom, China, France, and India are examples of nations who have or are assumed to have nuclear submarine capabilities.
For security purposes, governments don't give out full specifications on their weapons of war, especially on something as big, expensive, and instrumental as a submarine. The true depth information is classified, probably above "Top Secret". For the general US submarine fleet, the "official" answer is typically around 600 feet. (According to one Navy instructor it was changed from 400 feet when a documentary was aired accidentally showing footage of the depth meter at a depth of around that depth.)
Any Navy in the world who operates a nuclear submarine is going to publish a low ballpark figure in the name of national security and secrecy. If everyone knew the exact depth a submarine could submerse to, it'd be easier to kill them. Wikipedia says a Soviet/Russian class Alpha submarine may have successfully operated at a depth of 4,300 feet. But rest assured whatever the published depth of submarine is, it many times greater than that.
Does the Queen Mary ship still work?
Asked by Wiki User
The Queen Mary does not have any engines or propellers fitted any more. She still floats however, and the condition of her hull is still considered to be in pretty good shape.
It is however almost inconceivable that she would ever return to sea due to the issues of re-engineering her and making her compliant with the latest regulations, not to mention the cost!
The issue of cost and re-engineering is not the bulk of the reason for not returning her to sea. When the ship was sold to Long Beach, part of the agreement between the city and Cunard was that the ship would never be able to run as a commercial sailing ship again. This is primarily why the propellers and engines were first to go when the ship was being converted to a hotel/museum.
