(1) The name of the submarine that appeared in Jules Verne's fantasy adventure novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and went on an underwater adventure. It is known for inspiring the dreams of subsequent scientists. (2) The name given in 1931 to a conventionally propelled, 1,732-ton submarine by Australian Sir Hubert Wilkins (1888-1958) who planned to dive into the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. However, the attempt was unsuccessful due to several breakdowns. (3) The world's first nuclear submarine, built by General Dynamics for the U.S. Navy. Construction began on June 14, 1952, and it was launched on September 30, 1954. It had a normal displacement of 3,764 tons, a submerged displacement of 4,040 tons, a length of 99 meters, and a width of 8.5 meters. Steam was generated by a pressurized water reactor to drive turbines, with an output of 15,000 horsepower, and a submerged speed of over 20 knots. The crew consisted of 95 people, including 10 officers. In August 1958, the submarine succeeded in submerging the frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in August 1958, a feat that had been unsuccessful for its predecessor, passing the North Pole on August 3. One of the factors behind its success was the use of an inertial navigation system. From the start of trials to the first refueling, the submarine traveled 60,000 nautical miles in the 26 months between the start of trials and the first refueling, of which 34,500 were submerged.

(1)ジュール・ベルヌの空想冒険小説『海底二万里』に登場し、海底冒険旅行をした潜水艦名。その後の科学者に夢を抱かせたことで知られる。 (2)オーストラリアのヒューバート・ウィルキンスSir Hubert Wilkins(1888―1958)が極洋の結氷海中を潜航する計画をたて、1931年に、通常機関、1732トンの潜水艦につけた艦名。ただし、この試みは数回の故障によって不成功に終わった。 (3)アメリカ海軍がゼネラル・ダイナミックス社に建造させた世界最初の原子力潜水艦。1952年6月14日建造開始、1954年9月30日就航。平常時排水量3764トン、潜水時排水量4040トン、長さ99メートル、幅8.5メートル。加圧水型原子炉により蒸気を得てタービンを動かし、1万5000馬力の出力で、潜水中の速力は20ノット以上である。乗員は士官10人のほか95人。同艦は1958年8月に、同名の前艦が失敗した北極海で、海面が結氷した海中を太平洋から大西洋に向かって潜航横断に成功し、途中8月3日に北極点を通過した。その成功の要素の一つに慣性航法装置の使用があげられる。試運転開始から最初の燃料補給までの26か月の航走距離は6万海里で、そのうち3万4500海里は潜航であった。 [茂在寅男] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
