Description

Identification
Unit Name: HMS Dreadnought Class Nuclear-Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine
Designation: Nuclear-Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine
Affiliation: The North Atlantic Coalition
General Characteristic
Displacement: Ton
Length: 153 meters
Beam: 13 meters
Draft: 12 meters
Propulsion: Rolls-Royce PWR3 nuclear reactor, turbo-electric drive, pump-jet
Speed: 29 knots
Sensors and processing systems: Thales Sonar 2076, Raytheon Successor IFF, Atlas Hydrographic DESO 25 Echo Sounder, and Eddystone Communications and Satellite System
Depth: Greater than 300 meters
Oxygen Capacity: Sustained underwater endurance limited by food supplies and maintenance requirements (nuclear-powered submarines can produce oxygen from seawater)
Vessel Range
Operations Range: Unlimited due to nuclear propulsion (subject to crew and supplies)
Radar Range: Not applicable (submarines typically don't use radar to maintain stealth)
Sonar Range: In excess of 50 km (highly dependent on environmental conditions)
Additional Information
Crew: 130 personnel
Stealth: Yes (Tier VIII – Advanced stealth features including quiet running and radar-absorbent materials)
Weapons/Armament: 4x 533mm Torpedo Tubes (533mm Spearfish Heavyweight Torpedo), 12x Ballistic missile tubes (each with 12 UGM-133 Trident II Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (Standard MIRV Warhead))
Produced/Trained In: North Atlantic Coalition naval facilities
Tech Level: Tier IX (reflecting advanced technology and modern capabilities)
Numbers of Warships
Completed: 1
Active: 1
Sea Trials: 1 (the second of class)
Building: 2
Planned: 4 (as part of the initial batch)

Info: The HMS Dreadnought-Class Nuclear-Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine is a formidable addition to the North Atlantic Coalition's United Kingdom Branch, showcasing the pinnacle of British naval engineering and strategic deterrence capabilities. Named after the revolutionary early 20th-century battleship that changed naval warfare, the modern HMS Dreadnought-Class carries on the legacy of its namesake by advancing the UK's underwater warfare capabilities. This class of submarine is a strategic asset designed to ensure second-strike capability and maintain global maritime security under the aegis of the North Atlantic Coalition. Armed with 12 UGM-133 Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), the Dreadnought-Class provides the United Kingdom with a credible and formidable nuclear deterrent. These SLBMs are capable of delivering multiple nuclear warheads to targets across continents, ensuring that any adversary would face overwhelming retaliation in the event of a nuclear attack. Complementing its strategic armament are 4 x 533mm Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes, providing the Dreadnought-Class with the capability to engage both surface and underwater threats. The Spearfish torpedoes are renowned for their speed, range, and explosive power, making them an ideal weapon for the submarine's self-defense and anti-submarine warfare roles. The Dreadnought-Class incorporates cutting-edge stealth technology, significantly reducing its acoustic signature and making it nearly undetectable to enemy sonar. This stealth is further enhanced by the submarine's sophisticated sonar arrays, which enable it to detect and track enemy vessels at great distances. Powered by a next-generation nuclear reactor, the HMS Dreadnought-Class can remain submerged for extended periods without the need for refueling, allowing it to patrol the world's oceans with endurance previously unseen in British naval history. This operational flexibility ensures that the Dreadnought-Class can be deployed effectively in support of the North Atlantic Coalition's objectives. The HMS Dreadnought-Class represents the United Kingdom's commitment to upholding international peace and stability. As the cornerstone of the UK's strategic nuclear force within the North Atlantic Coalition, the Dreadnought-Class stands ready to protect the nation's interests and contribute to the collective security of its allies.
