Japan's New Generation Submarine Stuns The US
The Japanese Navy does not possess nuclear-powered submarines, but it does have, together with the Taigei, twenty-two multipurpose non-nuclear submarines that meet the requirements of their time. These are the Oyashio and Soryu submarines. The oldest of them all, the lead ship "Oyashio" with board number SS-590, was commissioned into the fleet on March 16, 1998. Would you say it's old already? But against the background of some Russian and American submarines - relatively recent. For example, the American nuclear-powered "strategist" USS Ohio, borne number SSGN-726, was commissioned in 1981, and it is currently on active service. In general, according to experts, Japanese submarines are among the most technologically advanced and dangerous to the enemy.
