![]() ![]() For example, the Alpha was a small submarine with a liquid metal reactor and titanium alloy hull that was designed to be faster than any other naval submarine. This allowed them to test many new designs and aggressively push performance limits. They experimented by building a large number of different types of nuclear attack submarines including the November, Victor, Al- pha, Sierra, Mike, and Akula classes. While the United States predominantly used one platform for attack submarines during this period, the Russians followed a very different innovation strategy, as illustrated in Fig. This period was chosen because, for the United States, it covers 1) the transition from the Sturgeon class (SSN 637) to the Los Angeles class (SSN 688) 2) the building of all 62 Los Angeles class submarines, including many component improvements and 3) the transition from the highly successful Los Angeles class submarines to the Seawolf class. Specifically, we compare and contrast the different innovation strategies deployed by the United States and USSR/Russia between 19. The advent of the nuclear submarine made submarines HROs by effectively tightening the coupling between propulsion and diving, allowing a failure of the former to result in a catastrophic loss of ship incident. study the evolution of one type of HRO, the fast-attack nu- clear submarines, over an extended period of time, focusing on the consequences of platform and component design changes. ![]()
