Description

Ported to OBJ from the model originally created in SketchUp by Lazarus Starkweather for Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 2 (CFS2).  Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS.  To download, click on the Download icon.


Borei (Project 995), also sometimes calle the Dolgorukiy class  in some sources after its lead boat, was the first all-new class of nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) to be put into service by the fledgling Russian Federation.   It is intended to replace ALL of its older SSBN type "nuke boats" inherited from the former Soviet Union, from Delta all the way up to the massive Typhoon.  They are more conventional in design and considerably smaller than Typhoon, being only somewhat larger than the old Delta IIIs and IVs.  Even so, they are very modern in their design and incorporate all of the latest advances in Russian nuclear submarine design.  They are reported to be the most quiet SSBNs in the water.  They also have built into them a large float chamber capable of housing the entire crew and which can be jettisoned in an emergency, given the tragic accident-littered record of Soviet era nuke boats.  Yugi Dolgorukiy (K-535), the lead boat, entered service in 2013, some seventeen years after the last such Russian SSBN (a Soviet era boat), with the second and third shortly thereafter but entry of the rest drawn out due to lack of funding to compete construction.  A forth officially entered service last year (2020), while a fifth is reported to be undergoing sea trials and three more are in various stages of construction.  At least ten are planned at present.  To find out more about the Russian Federation's Borei class submarines, follow the link below.

I had a devil of a time porting this one due to flipped normals, which is a common issue when porting SketchUp models, and I know I don't have them all fixed.  Even so I've gotten it into a form that looks halfway decent, so I'm going to kick this out "as is."  That way I can get back to work on porting other less troublesome models.  If anyone wants to continue work on this and re-release it on their own, feel free.


This is not my work.  All I did was port it to OBJ for you.  Please credit Lazarus Starkweather if you use this in any of your own 3D projects.  You do not have to credit me for my port.
