The Roc Guppys Ones Still In service

Jan 23, 2017#1

Article:

Taiwan’s Ancient Submarine Will Reach an Astounding 80 Years in Service: Another lease on life for the World War II-era ‘Hai Shih’

by ROBERT BECKHUSEN

Life expectancy varies between ships, but U.S. submarines generally stay in service for around 20 or 30 years or so. Taiwan, however, is planning for one of its submarines to reach age 80.

On Jan. 21, 2017, Taiwan announced that the 72-year-old SS-791 Hai Shih, or Sea Lion, will receive a retrofit allowing it to continue sailing until 2026. The $19 million retrofit will be to improve the hull and the diesel vessel’s “navigational elements,” Taiwan News reported.

Eight-zero. That’s a remarkable lifespan for a submarine, and the Hai Shih is already the oldest submarine still in service with a navy anywhere in the world — she looks like she traveled decades into the future through a wormhole.

Before she was Hai Shih, she was the U.S. Navy submarine USS Cutlass, a 1,570-ton Tench-class vessel that launched on Nov. 5, 1944 during World War II. Her wartime service was brief, and Cutlass didn’t reach her first patrol zone near the Kuril Islands until the day after Japan capitulated.

When the United States sold her to Taiwan in 1974, it sealed up Cutlass’ 10 torpedo tubes — six forward and four aft — and she became the Hai Shih. Very little has changed internally, apparently, but she still works.

A few years ago, researchers with the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association took a tour of the ex-Cutlass. “It was absolutely stunning how little has changed,” they wrote. “Equally stunning, is the high grade of operational condition.”

Thank for the update, cannot wait to download it when I get home. I love the old diesel electric boats. Just a side note, the test depth on the old Balao and Tench class subs was limited to 400 feet during WWII due to the limitations of the bilge pumps. The subs themselves could dive significantly deeper and would routinely go to 600 feet or deeper to avoid attacks. The crush depth of the thick skin Balao and Tench class was estimated to be at 900 feet with the 35lb (7/8 inch) HTS steel used in the hull.

A couple of observations on the Guppy models. On the Guppy 2 the radar mast does not raise at all. On the Guppy 3 the radar mast raises less than half the distance shown in you pics. I fI increase the mast height any higher than 0.052 the textures of the mask disappear and it makes it look like the mast is hovering over the sub.

Firebar · 03-22-22, 05:41 AM

Happy (nearly) Easter from the team at DotMod! Version 0.3b is now available to download. We've added even more new models, tweaked the behaviour of torpedoes, improved wakes, fixed a few more bugs, started repairing the Mac OS compatability, added some new functionality to the campaign system, and added a WIP Royal Navy Campaign for your feedback.

https://github.com/DotModGroup/ColdW...tag/v0.3b-beta

Before installing this version make sure that you delete the prevoius version of the dotmod folder!

Special thanks continues to go to the Beta Testers! General_Dave_1, Jennie, Mapashelas, RedFor best for, Russian_Wolf, Stallfighter, and tranchgun91. Special thanks also to our new contributors: RedEagle and Tionstav for their excellent model work.

Models

US Navy GUPPY Submarines - Made by Tionstav in two flavours, Atlantic and Standard Sail, and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT to match the USN and ROCN colour schemes
George Washington SSBN - This model was built by RedEagle and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT
Royal Navy HMS Dreadnought (SSN) - This model was built by TheHappyYachter originally in CAD software but has been completely reworked in Blender with a new texture from KevinDDSSTT.
Royal Navy Resolution SSBN - This model was built by TheHappyYachter in Blender with a texture from KevinDDSSTT for both the 1968 and 1984 variants.
Royal Netherlands Navy Zwaardvis SSK - The model for this submarine was made by Tionstav in and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT.
US Navy Arleigh Burke – Flight I DDG - This model was originally created by Yi Tsung Lee for Cities Skylines and was released under a
Creative Common’s licence. The model was modified by The HappyYachter and textured by KevinDDSSTT to match the rest of the DotMod inventory.
Minor fixes to some existing models
New weapons have been added to support the new vessels these include: Anabar Decoy, Korum Decoy, VL-ASROC, A.184. These have been modelled by a mix of people including SteelShark, TheHappyYachter, KevinDDSSTT, and ElectricBoat.

Data

KevinDDSSTT has extensively reworked surface ship and Albacore hull sub wakes after developing a formula for providing consistent wakes on a per vessel basis.
Tweaks to some weapons
Vesel Selection in Campaigns can now be implemented based upon a conditional probability.
WIP Royal Navy Campaign
New ROC Single Missions

New Features

Proximity fuses for torpedoes are now implemented thanks to Dsmirnoff
For first time installer the game will now check for the existence of an override folder on first load. This should help reduce the number of people who have issues when they have removed Epic Mod by renaming the override folder to stop DotMod reading it. This happens only on first load.

UI

A new console menu has been added (Shift + `) this is a nicer implementation than the original and will allow you to inspect the game log without exiting the game. It also allows you to input console commands.
Fantastic UI assets for the new vessels built by none other than SteelShark. Without his 2D art none of the new models would be as playable as they are. He has also provided the new HUD elements like Periscope masks, individually selected for the nations based on Open Source
Intelligence.

Davidtman i only did the damage control panels and signature's for all the guppy's

but ill look in to the depth stuff for you and the radar mast stuff though seem to remember some one said the mast was fixed so that's why it doesn't raise on that boat ill ask for you thought when i can

did a bit of digging on my work break tho

Guppy II Program

The GUPPY II conversion (SCB 47), implemented from 1947 to 1951, was generally similar to the GUPPY I, except for retention of both periscopes and introduction of the recently perfected snorkel. The addition of three new masts; snorkel induction, snorkel exhaust, and ESM mast -- required more room in the upper portion of the sail. BuShips approved two different sail designs:

1) The "Electric Boat Sail" had a straight trailing edge, round windows, a wider top and a more rounded forward edge.

2) The " Portsmouth Sail" had a thinner top, curved trailing edge, square windows and a sharper lower forward edge. It was put on all boats, which used the government plans for the conversion.

Some boats with a Portsmouth Sail had an SV radar and needed extra room to house the aerial, thus had a bulge at the sail top. Later modifications put the SS or SS2 radars on these and other boats which had a smaller aerial and had an indicator with interlocks which allowed the mast to be housed only with the aerial in certain angular positions. Also, some GUPPY II and GUPPY III boats had their sails extended higher above the waterline, the "Northern Sail", to raise the bridge, allowing it to be manned in more severe weather.

All boats converted during the GUPPY II program that originally had high-speed drive motors with reduction gears had these replaced with low-speed direct-drive motors, producing 2500 horsepower (1.9 MW) per shaft.

The two GUPPY I boats, Odax and Pomodon, were modified to GUPPY II standard.

Boats Converted:

USS Catfish (SS-339) (Balao)

USS Clamagore (SS-343) (Balao)

USS Cobbler (SS-344) (Balao)

Most of the reading I have done indicates that US WWII era subs had their capabilities dramatically understated. The reasons may be partly dues to war secrets and partly due to safety concerns. The US seemed to rate their test depths at 1/2 of the crush depths. Gato's had a test depth of 300 feet and an estimated crush depth of 550-600 feet. Balao's had a test depth of 400 feet (limited to their WWI era bilge pump not working below this depth), and a crush depth of an estimated 900 feet.

There is even a claim here on Subsim that the USS Pollock a Porpoise class submarine with a test depth of 250 feet dove to 540 feet while being attacked. I have not been able to verify this with any other source though.

strykerpsg · 04-02-22, 09:14 PM

Fantastic mod! Just a few notes though.

Is there an updated key command list somewhere?

Is there any tutorials available for the surface ships?

Been playing with the Arleigh Burke but cannot shoot down an aircraft to save my life.

Anyway, since I shelved this title almost 2 years ago, totally lost interest. This Dot mod though, provides the missing action I've been craving while awaiting Sea Power to release. Thanks for putting this together and congrats for being able to separate yourselves from the other "Non-mentionable" mod.

Davidtman · 04-05-22, 03:34 PM

I see you released an update on GitHub. I will try and take a look at it tonight. I looked at the code and saw the test depth on the Guppy's increased to 600ft. Looking good so far.

What changes did you make to the campaign? It looks like more missions were added.

Overkill · 04-14-22, 11:46 AM

Loving this mod so far!

steel shark · 04-15-22, 10:15 AM

were doing our best with it we just are now testing deploy able towed surface decoys too at the moment

so like a nixie ect should help with surface combat

we improving a few other decoys and weapons too in model terms and stats

Glad you Enjoying it

if you look at the weapons panel their is a ship icon for the sam panel you can click this to cycle to ships / air craft / missiles the icon may vary depending whats loaded if its a harpoon anti ship missile its only anti ship ect if its a rim missile ect its multi role

missiles also are in the vls slot ofc so look their again cycle the options

message me if you need help
