Player Opinion

Performance

S-189 is one of the first premium submarines introduced into the game. Compared to her peers, she places a heavier emphasis on close-ranged attacks, and also has an enhanced Submarine Surveillance  consumable.

Hull

As with most submarines, S-189’s survivability is not her strong point. Her HP pool is small, barely above 14,000. Her armor is essentially non-existent, with her exterior hull reaching only 19 mm. Captains should be careful not to get caught exposed in her, or they may find themselves quickly back in port.

On the other hand, S-189’s maneuverability and concealment are among the best of Tier VIII submarines. Her turning circle and rudder shift are quite good, albeit mostly standard for her tier. Her concealment, at 5.5 km, is the best concealment at her tier. Finally, she has a good 30 knot top speed on the surface. Her 21 knot speed underwater is the second fastest of all Tier VIII submarines (after Alliance), which typically go 13-17 knots underwater. This allows her to more easily evade enemies, especially with Enlarged Propellor Shaft.

S-189’s Dive Capacity recharge and depletion rate are standard for her tier, at 1 units/sec for the former and 0.8 units/s for the latter. Her Dive Capacity reserve is above average, at 250 units base, allowing her to stay underwater for slightly more than four minutes.

Armament

S-189’s sonar is a mixed bag. Her ping velocity is very high, allowing her to quickly acquire targets to enable homing. Her sonar range is also decent at 9 km. On the other hand, her sonar reload and ping width are worst-in-tier, at 9.5 seconds and a measly 8 m width respectively. In addition, while her first ping duration is standard, her second ping duration against the same sector is only five seconds longer (30 s vs 25 s). Landing double pings can prove a challenge. These factors mean homing is not S-189’s strong point, and her homing capability should rarely be used against surface ships.

Homing Torpedoes

S-189’s homing torpedoes further compound her weakness in homing attacks. The torpedoes have a respectable 9 km range. But with only 5,167 damage, low flooding chance and a rather slow speed of 64 knots, they are mostly useful for shotgunning low HP targets and destroyers, due to their short arming distance. Their homing capability will shine against submarines, due to her unique Submarine Surveillance , though her sonar performance is subpar.

Conventional Torpedoes

S-189’s conventional torpedoes are her main weapon. While their flooding chance is barely better than her homing torpedoes, they feature high damage and long range for their type, at 16,367 and 12.3 km respectively. With four bow tubes, a full salvo is enough to heavily cripple or destroy almost any ship they connect with. Her two stern tubes can deliver an immediate follow-up strike, albeit with half the punch. In combination with her concealment, she is a capable shotgunning submarine. While her torpedo tubes have a long reload of 61 seconds, she has a loader for each tube.

Consumables

S-189 has a standard Damage Control Party , with three stock charges and a 15 second duration time. Captains should be careful not to quickly exhaust their limited charges or she will find herself helpless against fuel spills and floods. Her Hydrophone  is identical to same-tier and lower German submarines. It is useful in tracking the location of surface ships while underwater.

Where S-189 stands out is her Submarine Surveillance . Sharing the same range as her German counterparts, her version features better preparation time and reload, at 290 and 80 seconds respectively. This gives her the upper hand when engaged in anti-submarine combat.

Gameplay

S-189 is primarily a shotgunning submarine. Captains should use her concealment and speed to close the distance on an ideally isolated target. Primary targets are battleships and cruisers. Once at a close range, around 6 km, captains should dive to periscope depth to further close the distance. Right before being proximity detected, she can launch her full spread of conventional torpedoes and quickly dive to avoid detection. Her underwater speed will help her in repositioning for follow-up attacks. Against destroyers, homing torpedoes should be used as they have a short arming distance. Their slow speed may allow destroyers to avoid them just in time, however, so captains should make sure to be close and aim properly. Captains can also ping destroyers at close range to help guarantee hits from their homing torpedoes, given that the homing shut off distance against destroyers is only 440 m for single pings of Tier VIII submarines. If unable to get to point-blank range, captains can attack ships from 5-8 km away, circling around to launch both the bow and stern torpedoes.

Against enemy submarines, her enhanced Submarine Surveillance  consumable often will give her the first strike against them. In the early game especially, enemy submarines may find themselves blind against S-189, due to their longer preparation time on the consumable. Though S-189’s short ping duration and low homing torpedo damage output may hamper her direct ability in dealing with submarines, the information she provides to her team will be invaluable for their potential ASW attacks.

S-189 favors "high risk, high reward" game play compared to her peers. Those who can learn her play style will appreciate her characteristics, namely her concealment, maneuverability and powerful conventional torpedoes. The tools she has access to allow her to remain a threat to both surface ships and submarines.

Pros:

• Fast sonar ping velocity
• Torpedo tubes reload independent of each other
• Conventional torpedoes have high damage and range
• Good Dive Capacity reserve and decent underwater speed
• Good concealment
• Submarine Surveillance  has reduced preparation and reload time, and long range

Cons:

• On the smaller end of HP for Tier VIII submarines
• Long sonar reload
• Short second ping duration
• For their type, homing torpedoes are slow and deal low damage.

S-189 - Soviet diesel torpedo submarine project 613. September 4, 1954 launched. On April 19, 1990, she was excluded from the USSR Navy. Laid up in Kronstadt. On August 2, 2007, she was transferred and moored to the floating berth on the Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment opposite the Marine Corps of Peter the Great for permanent mooring. Since 2012, the S-189 submarine has been used as a museum to visit.

General information

After the end of World War II USSR was set a large-scale goal - to ensure the security of the sea border of USSR Navy with modern warships that are able to withstand the most powerful countries , representing a military-political threat to the USSR, as well as surpassing them - this is like USA and its allies. In many design bureaus of the Soviet Union, work began on the development of the latest submarines, which have no analogues in the world. One of the many design bureaus was ЦКБ-18, where a completely new type of submarines was developed, called Project 613 submarines, under which PL S-189 was created.

History of creation

The first post-war diesel-electric submarine was the most massive project 613 submarine in the USSR Navy. The project was a development of the project 608 submarine of medium displacement, developed in 1942-1944. The S-189 submarine of project 613 was laid down on March 31, 1954 at the Baltic Shipyard. Ordzhonikidze in Leningrad.

Predecessors

Before World War II, the USSR built Pike_type submarines, which no longer met the modern realities of effective submarine warfare against ships and submarines of a potential enemy of the USSR.

Prerequisites for creation

World War II showed that the Soviet Union needed to approach the creation of new submarines more carefully, taking into account the experience of Soviet and foreign submarine construction of the fleet. In 1942, Soviet designers began work on a project for a new medium submarine, which was supposed to replace the aging Pike-class submarines. The submarine project received the number 608, but it did not come to its implementation in metal.

Design

At the end of 1944, the Soviet Navy received materials on the German submarine U-250, which was sunk in the Gulf of Finland and then raised from the bottom. This submarine had tactical and technical elements close to the Project 608 submarine. In January 1946, after studying the captured U-250 submarine. The Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy of the Main Directorate of Shipbuilding approved the tactical and technical assignment for the design of the project 613 submarine. It was proposed to change the tactical and technical characteristics of the project 608 in the direction of increasing the speed and cruising range while increasing the standard displacement to 800 tons. The design was entrusted to TsKB-18 (now TsKB MT Rubin). For the construction of the project 613 submarine, which included the S-189 submarine, the chief designer was appointed V.N. Peregudov, then Ya.E. Evgrafov, and since 1950 Z.A. Deribin. In August 1946, a tactical and technical assignment was issued for the Project 613 submarine, and on August 15, 1948, the technical design was approved by the Government of the USSR. When developing theoretical drawings, special attention was paid to ensuring high running performance in a submerged position. As a result, the maximum submerged speed increased to 13 knots, instead of 12.

Construction and testing

The S-189 submarine of project 613 was laid down on March 31, 1954 at the Baltic Shipyard. Ordzhonikidze in Leningrad. The construction of Project 613 submarines was carried out from 1950 to 1957. A total of 216 submarines were built. Submarine S-189 of project 613 was launched on September 4, 1954.

Design Description

Longitudinal section of the submarine project 613

Frame

Project 613 submarine is an all-welded durable hull with internal placement frames is divided by watertight bulkheads into 7 compartments:

6. Electromotive.
7. Torpedo. Shelter compartment.
   

For the first time in this project, frames specially designed for submarine shipbuilding were used, made from an asymmetric stripe bulb. The shape of its cross section provided the necessary ratio between the area and the moment of inertia, and the wall thickness was well combined with the thickness of the hull skin.

Battery and living compartment

The main power plant of the submarine included 37D two-stroke diesel engines. There was a device RDP with mine and a float valve. Shaft line mechanisms were mounted on soundproof shock absorbers. The economic propulsion electric motor transmitted rotation to propeller shafts through elastic and silent textrope gears with a gear ratio of 1:3 and economic propulsion friction clutches. Between the diesel engines and HED there were tire-pneumatic disconnecting couplings and the same couplings between the HEM and thrust shafts, which were connected to the propeller shafts by rigid flanges. SHPRM were used due to the obvious advantage over BAMAG-type clutches installed on submarines of pre-war projects - they made it possible to soundproof diesel engines and the shaft line, to install the shaft line on slipway, and not after launching, as they allowed much larger breaks and displacement of the mating axes of individual parts of the shafting.

To ensure the operation of surface diesels at periscope depth, the S-189 submarine had an RDP device, which was a retractable shaft for supplying fresh air into the hull of the boat, which ensured the operation of the main engines. The air channel of this device was equipped with a float valve to prevent water from entering when its upper part was flooded or deepened, and exhaust gases were removed through a stationary shaft located in the aft part of the fence felling. For historical reference, it should be noted that the prototype of the RDP at the beginning of the 20th century was designed by the Russian submarine officer Gudim and installed on one of the Russian submarines. A few decades later, already as a proven model, a similar device became widely known under the name "snorkel".

Auxiliary equipment

The S-189 submarine had periscopes, RDP, vertical and horizontal rudders, and torpedo tube covers were hydraulically driven. For the first time in the Soviet Navy, boats of project 613 used a silent trim system (only with air), gas vents were installed with exhaust into the water directed to the stern (using the suction effect of the outboard water flow), for latrines sewage cylinders were installed.

Crew and Habitability

On the S-189 submarine of project 613, the crew number was 52 people.

Armament

The S-189 submarine of project 613 belonged to torpedo-artillery submarines.

Torpedo armament included four bow 533mm TA and two aft 533mm TA. Number of spares torpedoes to the bow torpedoes was increased to 6 pieces, which was their total number of spare torpedoes.

Auxiliary/AA Artillery

Initially, the PL-189 of project 613 housed artillery weapons from one twin 57-mm SM-24-SIF machine gun and one twin 25-mm machine gun 2M-8. Later, all artillery weapons were removed from the submarine.

Communications, detection, auxiliary equipment

On the S-189 submarine of project 613, the main means of detection in a submerged position GAS "Tamir-5L" and GAS noise direction finding "Phoenix".

Modernizations and refurbishments

Submarine C-189 project 613 has not undergone significant modernization. From the beginning, there was the installation of new types of weapons and electronic equipment being adopted, as well as the introduction of design changes related to the improvement of construction technology. For example, initially the project provided for the use of steam-gas torpedoes of the type 53-38, 53-38U and 53-39 , as well as electric torpedoes ET-80, that is, pre-war and military samples. Later, as new samples were adopted, the former ones were replaced by more modern models: combined-cycle types 53-51, 53-56, 53-57, 53-61, as well as homing electric torpedoes of the SAET-50 and SET-56.
