| The Fyvateri Class is Aurora's first and only class concrete submarines in service. | ||
The Fyvateri Class is a North Shurkan designed concrete submarine (C-Sub) used for missions of attack, defense, sabotage, and patrol. These specially designed submarines are the first of any such submarine to be commissioned and to enter service.
After years of investment by the Bureau of Military Research and Development, the idea of constructing and having a concrete submarine fleet showed many advantages including relative cheap cost and the effectiveness in brown water areas.
Design and Strategy
There are many differences between conventional submarines which float until they take on water and "C-subs" will stay afloat by using four electric turbines to propel water downward. The swiveling nozzles that direct this flow also will enable Fyvateries to move.
Fyvateries will also fight differently. Conventional submarines prowl the seas. On a typical patrol, a Fyvateri will sink offshore, waiting for enemy ships to pass overhead. Then it will fire vertical-launch torpedoes. Because concrete is strong under compression, C-subs could sink well below the 1800-ft. "crush depth" for steel. And on sonar displays, the concrete will be hard to distinguish from a sandy sea bottom making it virtually invisible while resting on the seafloor.
Service
An unknown number of Fyvateri Class "C-Subs" serve with the N.S.U. Navy's Fifth Fleet, but with its relative cheap costs, many guess that the N.S.U. Navy has many of them.
