The Sea bed Silo

Mobility is implied

No these silos must be mobile -but they dont have to travel at a great speed. What I am trying to start is a technical discussion about overcoming problems of pressure....
 
Why bother, when you have submarines that already do a perfect job, at 30 knots!.
It's a bit like inventing a square wheel.
 
What planet is this bloke on? He has described quite nicely......wait for it.............a submarine that's already in service.
 
Oh my god I thought I was on a military forum! Are you suggesting that the US has ICBM submarines that can survive at the pressures ON THE ATLANTIC OR PACIFIC OCEAN FLOOR. If so that's fantasic and what pray happens to the ICBMS if you choose to launch from this depth. Obviously I have been bypassed by the onward march of technology.
 
Yeah, and you've forgotten the best part, "Why don't we build mobile silos 10,000 ft underground too".

Next you'll be wanting the government to buy up old disused quarries and cut them up into portable fox holes for the troops. You could bundle 'em up and sell them for $5 each, all the hairy @rse has to do then, is dig a hole and bury one wherever he wants to dig in,... and it would get rid of all those unsightly old excavations around the place.

The world really needs more "ideas men" who think like you.:roll:

All I'm suggesting..

Is that if China wishes to steal a march on America, bearing in mind that the US probably has a system of Sonars monitoring the upper ocean ( that's why you have beached whales and dolphins, ) that they should look at the lower reaches where a new technology is required.
 
As posted previously

(1) Large titanium spheres capable of holding 4 ICBMs bath plug like hatches biased to float upright.
(2) Minimum thickness to resist shear punch thru
(3) Basic Equ:
4/3.pi.R3.density of water - 4.p.iR2.thickness of titanium.density of titanium - weight of missiles = slightly positive force.
(4) Start with very small sphere at ocean floor Main stress equ:
2.pi.R2.pressure of water at this depth < 2.pi.R.Thickness of titanium.Max compression strengh ( non yield) per unit area.
The spere is now expanded with all dimensions pro rata until (3) holds.
(5) Aditional spheres house: living quarters, reactor combined with gen, thin skinned ( at ocean pressure ) propulsion unit - no weep at shaft. The drive from gen via insulated cables buried in sphere to similar at prop unit.
(7)All com the bathplugsbined string of pearls form by 4 stringers. Top stringer over Icbm spheres can be blown to release spheres to surface where compressed gas will launch missiles.
(8) All surrounded by plating to hold oil and lead ballast. By discharging alt the sub can rise anf fall.
(9) Problem; necessary to set giros and arm missles before launch. Solution corridor throuhout 'string' pressure of water will press flanges on spheres together. So that the spheres can be sealed before launch the bathplugs can be stored in intermediate smaller spheres ( diam > than max diam of plugs. )
(10) Alternative: gen output can be run into external heaters which can at >600 supply superheated steam in inulated chamber to lift vessel, using a ram jet type vains ( uni direc ) water can enter achamber be heated to steam, when pressure exceeds agiven amount gas escapes thru preloaded vains. Thrust on vessel. Heaters switched off ' bubble of steam collapses water enters thru input vains. Heaters protected from corrosion by continuously replacable sheath.
 
Who will guard the system? If someone can put it there someone else can take it. Were are not talking about a listening device but a WMD.

hate to say it JR, your profile says *retired* but you speak like a kid who's read way to many science fiction books..... that or you are a genius who's potential has never been discovered; if so please apply.
