Today we continue our Cold War Surface Ships vs Submarines mini-series in Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age!
In this episode, the Canadian Iroquois-class destroyer (DDG), equipped in her Cold War configuration, faces one of the Soviet Union's most advanced submarines—the Project 705 Alfa-class (Lira) nuclear attack submarine (SSN).
Armed with CH-124 Sea King ASW helicopters, Mk 46 anti-submarine torpedoes, and the LIMBO anti-submarine mortar, the Iroquois must detect and destroy its elusive opponent before it can strike.
The Alfa-class counters with its incredible 40+ knot underwater speed, extreme diving depth, and high-performance nuclear propulsion, making it one of the most formidable submarines of the 1970s.
Can the Canadian destroyer successfully prosecute the contact, or will the Soviet Alfa use its speed and depth to survive—and win?
If you enjoy Sea Power gameplay, Cold War naval warfare, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), military history, and realistic naval simulations, be sure to like, subscribe, and let us know in the comments which matchup you'd like to see next!
