this breakthrough invention of elon musk
is going to make the us navy a
superpower elon musk's next generation
underwater aircraft carrier submarine is
on the verge of being inducted into the
u.s navy's fleet it will be crammed with
weaponry allowing it to fulfill its
promise in undersea combat musk is
developing a new submarine for the us
navy that will have enough speed and
weaponry to overwhelm opposing ships and
submarines but honestly how would it be
possible hello and welcome to elon musk

we are going to tell you about the brand
new underwater aircraft carrier sub of
the us navy as leaked by elon musk
admirals in command of the underwater
aircraft carrier program's acquisition
are ecstatic due to this mind-boggling
work of elon musk
by this sub attacks in the future will
be quicker and quieter than ever before
in november elon musk told ai news that
it will have some unprecedented
wonderful qualities the next gen
underwater aircraft carrier he believes
will have a considerable horizontal
payload capacity as you can see it'll be
carrying a lot of torpedoes and fighter
planes it'll be quick and have great
acoustics that includes sensors to
detect other ships in the area as well
as stealth while remaining low and
silent according to musk
the new submarine will be presented to
the fleet in 2028 according to the
project's timeline in the fy 22 national
defense authorization act and double a
the navy sought a budget of 498 million
dollars for research and development
expenditure however the ndaa for fy 2022
only raised 130 million dollars which is
insufficient for such a large
undertaking the u.s navy on the other
hand anticipates these costs to rise as
quickly as feasible the tax must be
adaptable it should be able to strike
rival submarines and destroy them as
well as bully surface fleets eliminate
submarines and escort aircraft carriers
china has also militarized several rocks
and reefs in the east and south china
seas which might pose a danger to the
us's maritime freedom of navigation
musk's latest idea might prevent these
islands from being used as attack
targets china might launch autonomous
underwater vehicles from the disputed
islands to attack american submarines in
10 years this new underwater aircraft
carrier may also be able to handle
unmanned underwater boats giving it
drone capabilities aerial drones will
also be available said musk which might
be used to target data for torpedoes by
the time musk's underwater aircraft
carrier is seaworthy current cruise
missiles and maybe even hypersonic
missiles should have been replaced
making the new carrier's offensive
capabilities even more dominating than
imagined russia has already begun
testing its hypersonic submarine
launched missile but thanks to elon musk
america is pursuing a more advanced goal
after a series of failed efforts
for the marine area we're looking at the
ultimate apex predator admirals like
these will be needed to whip up support
for how critical the new attacks are in
maintaining excellent service in the
indo-pacific congress may decide that
building new submarines is adequate
stated musk however china's existing
edge as the world's biggest navy with
355 submarine shifts may be extended by
2034 the u.s navy wants 66 underwater
aircraft carriers that's a long way off
the i-400 class will have to suffice
till then musk stated he also added that
future presidential administrations in
congress will be required to fund the
new underwater aircraft carrier however
given the chinese navy's existing
strength and expansion it would make
sense to fully fund the underwater
aircraft carrier program each fiscal
year the imperial japanese navy's i-400
class submarines were the biggest
submarines built during world war ii and
they remained the largest submarines
ever built until the 1960s when nuclear
ballistic missile submarines were
developed each submarine has four 1680
kilowatt engines and enough fuel to
travel halfway around the world its
pressure hall had a unique figure of
eight design according to musk which
provided strength and stability for the
weight of a massive on-deck aircraft
hangar a mark iii model one air search
radar with two independent antennas was
installed on the i-400s they also had
air surface radar systems with
characteristic horn-shaped antennas
known as mark ii model 2.
two parallel sets of demagnetization
wires spanning from the stern to the bow
planes were strung along the submarine's
gun whales these were designed to guard
against magnetic mines by blocking the
magnetic field that would otherwise
activate the mine's fusing device
musk used to be a fan of this technology
and his new underwater aircraft carrier
will be roughly based on the i-400
infrastructure but far more
sophisticated and advanced with all of
the i-400s flaws addressed
that's not all elon musk said the advent
of the atomic era led the u.s navy to
consider a variety of alternative naval
aviation basing concepts throughout the
1950s
an1 a massive nuclear-powered submarine
capable of launching eight fighter
planes in under eight minutes was one
such proposal even though the an-1 was
never built it's a fascinating glimpse
at a ship that might have been elon musk
stated that the plane which never left
the designed stage had a peak speed of
mach 3 nuclear weapons enormous potency
against naval forces proven at bikini
atoll in 1946
caused the navy to seek alternative
aircraft basing designs one option was
to make jet fighters amphibious allowing
them to take off straight from the sea a
notion that culminated in the convair
xf-2y sea dart which was a failure
another more daring concept is to
submerge aircraft carriers
a modified version of the halibut class
guided missile submarine was also
proposed for the underwater aircraft
carrier idea the halibut was bigger than
other boats because it needed to carry
the nuclear-tipped cruise missile
regulus in a hangar constructed inside
the hull the halibut class submarines
carried five regulus missiles each the
size of a small jet fighter the missiles
were launched from a rail on the hulls
outside musk combined the two concepts
to create the world's biggest fastest
and most durable undersea carrier
musk claims that his latest design for
the us navy would be a big lethal
submarine come aircraft carrier that
will be approximately 600 feet long with
a 75 foot beam it will travel to any
place on earth with an underwater speed
of 60 knots and a 50 000 horsepower
onboard nuclear power plant six bow
mounted torpedo tubes and two rear
firing tubes would be installed on the
submarine the main weaponry of the
submarine however would be an eight
plane squadron of vertical takeoff
fighter planes the dagger-like planes
designed by boeing would be lifted
nose-first on launch platforms before
being pushed into the sky by three
twenty three thousand pound right se105
turbojets the whole us military was
swinging toward atomic war in the 1950s
and the an1 would have been most
valuable in a nuclear fight in a
conventional conflict the an1s wouldn't
have been able to send up a sufficient
number of fighter planes but the
submarine might have surfaced near the
soviet union or china and launched
nuclear-armed fighters from an
unexpected direction
an1 was a notion that was ahead of its
time musk remarked the increased threat
of high-tech weapons against aircraft
carriers today such as hypersonic
weapons and anti-ship ballistic missiles
may force them to adapt and go
underwater as the navy considered 60
years ago
submarine launched and retrieved
unmanned aerial vehicles might one day
conduct many of the same operations as
carrier aircraft
elon musk is creating a new submarine
carrier for the u.s navy that
incorporates all of the greatest
concepts from the an-1 and i-400
submarines
it will be significantly larger than the
an1 and it may only be a matter of time
until it merges the two into a stealthy
and lethal package when traveling at
full speed today's nimitz-class super
carriers can launch a fighter every 20
seconds yet launching eight aircraft in
eight minutes was considered amazing at
the time
in less than eight minutes the an-1
underwater aircraft carrier could launch
four fighters and all eight fighters
musk claims that the submarine aircraft
carrier will do this in less than half
the time
as a result the u.s military is relying
heavily on musk's groundbreaking
technology which is expected to enhance
the strength of their fleet by multiple
factors however it is still in the
development stages however the us navy
has previously attempted several times
and failed to construct an underwater
aircraft carrier submarine but a
collaboration with elon musk's technical
team is on the edge of making that dream
a reality
