Was this a real concept?
I honestly can't tell. This submarine has 16 torpedo tubes, carries missiles, AND to top it all off, it carries THREE fucking midget subs.
This is metal gear levels of crazy, but I know during the cold war a ton of over the top designs were seriously considered.
Can anyone confirm?
Does anyone else have any unbelievably over the top concepts?
No, it's not. Five seconds on Google would have told you.

Obviously not.

I just checked the google and this site says it was a serious project.

More like a fucking work of art.
Seven hulls, carries ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, midget subs, and 16 torpedo tubes...
The thing is amazing.
Where the fuck are the berths and mess?
>>30016161
Probably in the area labelled "accommodations".

Russia come up with crackpot designs all the time. The last time America believed them (Mig 25), the F-15 was created to counter fake capabilities. Funny thing, the F-15 outmatched the fake specs of Mig 25.

>berths
COMRADE CAN SLEEP IN EMPTY TUBE OF TORPEDO AFTER FIRING. MIDGET SUB ALSO FIT MANY OF COMRADE.
>mess
IS OF CAPITALIST EXTRAVAGANCE. DESIGN BUREAU RESEARCH FIND IS NOT NECESSARY TO FUNCTION. COMRADE NEED ONLY DIRECT BLOOD INFUSION OF PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATE FROM CENTRAL ALGAE TANK. METHAMPHETAMINE SUPPLEMENT ALSO USE AS TO KEEP COMRADE AWAKE.

Firstly, the Mig 25 isn't fake... secondly, the F-15 doesn't outmatch all its specs.
>>30016389
yeah it doesn't match the absolute speed which was impractical in the first place and toasted the engines. otherwise it was objectively better in literally every regard

/r/ ing that pic of the Minuteman base with the "30 minutes or less" art.

Ask and you shall receive.
>>30016225
What, does that sub have all of a dozen crewmen or something
>>30016338
even filthy capitalist submarines have people sleep in the empty weapon stows in the torpedo room.
speaking of crazy russian subs

The original blast door that was painted on was destroyed.

why isn't this a thing yet, it pleases my boner

Imagine a Expeditionary Unit deployed by a pack of transport and hunter-killer submarines with VLS missiles to provide fire support.

Germany had one during WW1. It was too small to make a big impact outside morale.
>>30015922
Looks awesome...Except the midget sub part.
And it seems like a bad idea to pull all those eggs in something that could be heard and sunk easily by the quieter post war US refits.
>>30017536
>>30017024
I had this lying around in my files...
>>30017237
Look at the scale of it. That "accommodations" hull is pretty huge Actually.
It's a very fucking big submarine.

What about the milk cows during WW2?

The cargo sub they made was quite successful even if it made only one trip. Before the US entered the war it transported a shipment of concentrated chemical dyes to the US and made a shitload of money since the US had no domestic supply of the stuff.
