D-6 - Carrier Submarines
The method and sequence of performance of work on complex D-6 were adopted similar complex D-4, including order processing and tests at the site in/h 99375. For size, launch tubes for complex D-6 was set in size for the R-13 complex D-2.
The first carriers of this prospetive missile were to be diesel-electric submarines of projects 613 and 629, processed accordingly. Back in 1959, CDB-16 began work on a project of an experimental submarine 613D6 for testing. In the released compartment in the central part of the building, it was proposed to mount a vertical silo launcher of the D-6 complex. In addition, the boat was to receive a set of equipment for servicing and managing new weapons.
In 1959 TSKB-34 developed a draft project starting system cm-93 project 629 submarine and 658. In the year 1960, the Bureau prepared a technical design and working drawings for starting the installation.
In parallel with the development of the test stand, in July 1960 work began on the technical project of re-equipment of the submarine Project 629 with complex D-6 based on tactical-technical specifications-GUK NAVY on materials sketch project 629 D6. Under the direction of Chief Designer I.E.Evgrafova was developed at the same time and technical Project 613D6 submarine refit, was singled out for testing by the Decree of Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 141-64, dated February 9, 1959 year for testing and test the complex D-6 by launching full-scale mock-ups of missiles on the move of the submarine. Project 613D6 was completed in November, and in January 1961 working drawings were handed over to the Kherson factory No. 444.
The draft design 629D6 was the further development of the submarines "629". The main difference of the new project was the installation of three new launching tubes of the D-6 complex in place of the existing systems of the D-2 complex with R-13 missiles. In theory, this refinement of submarines allowed to increase the maximum range of fire almost without double-up without significant modernization.
After deciding to abandon the missile with the engine using the Nylon-B, the Central Design Bureau-18 received the task to study the possibility of using a new missile system on the prospective nuclear submarines of Project 667. In view of the overall limitations imposed by the construction of a durable hull of such a submarine, at one stage This project considered the use of an unusual launcher.
The rockets for the missiles in this version of the project were to be assembled in pairs and placed outside the rugged hull. In this case, the blocks with two missiles in each were offered to be transported in a horizontal position parallel to the hull. During the preparation for shooting, they had to climb vertically, after which a start could be made. After starting the installation should be returned to the transport horizontal position. The dimensions of the submarine "667" made it possible to install on the sides of a strong case two pairs of twin launchers. One of them was supposed to be placed in front of the felling of the felling, the second behind it. The general ammunition of the boat with rotary launchers consisted of 8 missiles.
In November 1960, the team of TsKB-16 completed work on the project of the experimental boat "613D6" and handed over the necessary documentation to one of the plants, which was to deal with the reorganization of one of the serial project 613 submarines. The designers of the Central Design Bureau-18 at that time continued to work on the installation of the complex D -6 on the atomic submarines of Project 667.
At the same time marine complexes with liquid ballistic missiles were created, complexes with solid rockets were intended for posting on submarines. For such systems D-6 Chief Designer P.a. Tyurin (CDB-7, KB Arsenal) and D-7 Chief Designer V. P. Makeev Design Bureau (SKB-385 KB Engineering), with the participation of the State Specialized Design Bureaus KBTM developed projects of ground equipment consisting of 14 and 20 units respectively. The development of units for complex D-6 was stopped at the stage of issuance of documentation, but for complex D-7 units of ground-based equipment were manufactured, were fitting rooms and provide test conducting test missiles. However, these works were halted for various reasons.
Flight design missile testing of complex D-6 was to be held with the submarine project 629B, built at the shipyard No. 402 (Director Egorov), at the State Central sea firing range (GCMP). To this end, the missile compartment of the submarine was modified for the installation of control equipment and mine complex D-6.
To accommodate the missile complex D-6 in 18 TSKB-worked over the installation on Project 667 nuclear submarine, instead of complex D-4. When hosting complex D-6 nuclear submarines Project 667 missile was intended to house the rotary launchers CM-113 (for missiles R-21-CM-95), created in CDB-34. Another development of the technical Project 629D6 ended in the first quarter of the year 1961, but April 4 by a decree of the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers No. 316-137 and the order of the GKS from April 27, 1961, all work on the set of D-6 were declared not viable and discontinued its further development.
