About

Welcome to Sub Brief, I’m Aaron. I’ve spent 20 years serving onboard U.S. Navy submarines. As a U.S. Navy contractor, I provided Strategic and Policy Level consultation for domestic and international clients on cleared Navy projects. Now, I work as a military contractor providing technical subject matter expert services to clients on Naval matters and submarine technologies. Over the years, I have networked with a team of open-source intelligence professionals to provide services to private clients. Here on the Sub Brief channel, I share some of my unclassified work.

Video Description

The Project 670 Skat (NATO: Charlie I-class) SSGN was a Soviet nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine designed for anti-ship warfare, primarily targeting U.S. carrier battle groups. Entering service in the late 1960s, it was the first Soviet submarine to carry submarine-launched cruise missiles (SLCMs) in vertical launch tubes, significantly enhancing its strike capability. Armed with eight P-70 Ametist (SS-N-7 Starbright) cruise missiles, which could be launched while submerged, and a complement of 533mm torpedoes, the Charlie I was a formidable early attempt at a stealthy, rapid-response missile platform. However, its limited range, relatively noisy reactor, and outdated missile system led to its eventual replacement by the more advanced Charlie II and Oscar-class SSGNs. With a speed of 24 knots submerged and a diving depth of around 350 meters, the Charlie I was an important step in Soviet underwater strike doctrine but was phased out by the 1990s in favor of newer, more capable designs. 📫 Promotional inquiries [email protected] 🐦►https://twitter.com/subbrief 🕺►https://www.instagram.com/subbrief ⏰►https://www.tiktok.com/@subbrief 😃► https://www.facebook.com/SubBriefMedia 🏴‍☠️► https://www.SubBrief.com 💵► https://www.patreon.com/subbrief 🔗► https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-amick-9538a4171/ 💌 Contact Aaron ► [email protected] 🦃 Jive Turkey https://www.twitch.tv/jivturky #subbrief #subs #navy Aaron's PC Spec ------------------------ CPU: Intel i9-10850K @3.60GHz RAM: 64GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Accelsior 4M2 16.0TB PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD sub brief, sme, subject matter expert, naval, policy, technology, tactical use of the ocean, sonar, submarine tactics, weapons employment, aip, air independent power, 21st century, aaron, amick, aaron amick, sonar, sonarman, sme, SME, subject matter expert, naval, games, wargames, testing, tactics, news, history, tactical use of the ocean, hide, find, search, jive turkey, jive, subbrief,
