Japan: State-of-the-art submarine “Oryu”: Deployed at Kure Base
State-of-the-art submarine: “Oryu”
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force said, “A state-of-the-art submarine has been handed over by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and deployed at Kure Base.”
It is “Oryu”, which will be the 11th ship of the Soryu type.
Equipped with lithium-ion battery:
The world’s first lithium-ion battery.
The cruising distance and dive time are dramatically improved compared to the conventional Soryu type.
If you dive at the same speed, you can dive more than twice as long.
JMSDF:
As the activity time increases in the water, stealth increases and the range of operations expands.
Oryu will be deployed at Kure Base on the 6th, and will be on duty to monitor and monitor seas near Japan.
