NOT FOR SALEBackgroundThe Barakuda-class is a predator. Designed solely to hunt and kill high-performance submarines (though more than capable of targeting other vessels), she is the spawn of the cancelled Itachizame-class and a Third Offset submersible vessel with a speed comparable to the Normandy-class while producing noise to a lesser degree than either Itachizame or Rokkenjima's Rorqual-class. Unlike most modern submarines, the Barakuda-class forgoes vertical launch tubes, instead utilizing sixteen 711 mm (28-inch) torpedo tubes with a triple-deck automated torpedo room. These massive tubes are capable of launching any weapon rated for underwater service, while her primary weapon is planned to be the Type 75 ULTRA, a 711 mm torpedo specifically designed for the new class. It is also capable of firing sleeved Type 69 HATEs (Heavyweight Attack Torpedo, Enhanced) and older Type 48 ADCAPs. The vessel's S8Z PWR reactor has unparalleled energy density and, paired with the ship’s hydrogen fuel cells, allows the class to be practically undetectable by passive sonar.
