NZR R Class
The NZR R class was a class of early 0-6-4T single Fairlie steam locomotives operated by New Zealand's Railways Department (NZR) between 1879 and 1936. Introduction In the 1870s New Zealand's railway network was a small, fragmented system of light railway lines built in rough country where short, steep grades and tight curves were common. The Fairlie type of steam locomotive was well-suited to working in such conditions. In 1872, the first Fairlie locomotives arrived from England, the E class. Gradually the number of these double-ended engines (known as Double Fairlies) grew to 10, and came to include the B class of 1874. There was still a need for orthodox engines with Fairlie manoeuvrability. The Avonside Engine Company of Bristol, England solved the problem by providing both the R and S classes of Single Fairlie engines; 18 of the former in 1878-79 and 7 of the latter in 1880-81.T. A. McGavin, ''Steam Locomotives of New Zealand, Part One: 1863 to 1900'' (Wellington: N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LCDR R Class
The LCDR R class was a class of 0-4-4T locomotives on the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR). No. 207 (eventually no. 31666) is notable as being the last former LCDR locomotive to be withdrawn from service. The whole class was fitted with condensing apparatus for working on the Widened Lines. History For many years the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) had favoured the 0-4-4T wheel arrangement for suburban and stopping passenger trains, and when more were required in 1890, consideration was given to ordering a further batch of the existing A2 class 0-4-4T (introduced 1883); it was then decided that a modified design was required. The R class locomotives were designed by William Kirtley as a development of his earlier A2 class, and 18 were built by Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1891. Numbering Their LCDR numbers were 199–216, which under the South Eastern and Chatham Railway became 658–675 from 1899. They were renumbered three more times: to A658–A675 by th ...

Revenge-class Battleship
The ''Revenge'' class, sometimes referred to as the ''Royal Sovereign'' class or the R class, consisted of five Dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy in the 1910s. All of the ships were completed to see service during the World War I, First World War. There were originally to have been eight of the class, but two were later redesigned, becoming the s, and another, which was to have been named HMS ''Resistance'', was cancelled outright. The design was based on that of the preceding , but with reductions in size and speed to make them more economical to build. Two of the ships, and , were completed in time to see action at the Battle of Jutland during the First World War, where they engaged German battlecruisers. The other three ships were completed after the battle, by which time the British and German fleets had adopted more cautious strategies, and as a result, the class saw no further substantial action. During the early 1920s, the ships were involved in the Greco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

United States R-class Submarine
The R-class submarines were a class of United States Navy coastal-defense submarines active from 1918 until 1945. With the first of the class laid down following the American entry into World War I, they were built rapidly. Although ''R-15'' through ''R-20'' were completed July–October 1918, they did not serve overseas, and the bulk of the class were not completed until after the Armistice. As had been the usual practice in several of the preceding classes, design and construction of the 27 boats of this class was split between the Electric Boat Company and the Lake Torpedo Boat Company. Both designs were built to the same military operational specifications, but differed considerably in design and detail specifics. Design Electric Boat The ''R-1'' through ''R-20'' boats were designed by Electric Boat and built by the company's subcontractor yards Bethlehem Quincy and Bethlehem San Francisco. These single-hull boats were structurally similar to the preceding O class, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rainbow-class Submarine
The ''Rainbow''-class submarine or R class was a quartet of patrol submarines built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s. Design and description The ''Rainbow''-class submarines were designed as improved versions of the ''Parthian'' class and were intended for long-range operations in the Far East. The submarines had a length of overall, a beam of and a mean draft of . They displaced on the surface and submerged. The ''Rainbow''-class submarines had a crew of 56 officers and ratings. They had a diving depth of .Bagnasco, pp. 106–07 For surface running, the boats were powered by two diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a electric motor. They could reach on the surface and underwater. On the surface, the boats had a range of at and at submerged. The boats were armed with six 21-inch torpedo tubes in the bow and two more in the stern. They carried six reload torpedoes for a grand total of fourteen torpe ...

Italian R-class Submarine
The R-class or ''Romolo''-class submarine was a group of submarines built for the Royal Italian Navy (''Regia Marina Italiana'') during World War II. They were designed as blockade running transport submarines for transporting high-value cargo from Europe to Japan and vice versa. Axis-occupied Europe lacked strategic materials such as tungsten, tin and some commodities such as rubber. Design and description The R-class submarines displaced surfaced and submerged. The submarines were long, had a beam of and a draft of . They had a cargo capacity of . Chesneau, p. 307 For surface running, the boats were powered by two diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a electric motor. They could reach on the surface and underwater. On the surface, the R class had a range of at ; submerged, they had a range of at .Bagnasco, p. 166 The boats were only armed for self-defense with three light anti-aircraft guns. Some boats may ...

British R-class Submarine
The R-class submarines were a class of 12 small British diesel-electric submarines built for the Royal Navy during World War I, and were forerunners of the modern attack submarine, in that they were designed specifically to attack and sink enemy submarines, their battery capacity and hull shape being optimized for underwater performance. With a submerged speed of , the class set an underwater speed record not broken until the experimental Japanese Submarine No.71 of 1938, which was capable of more than submerged. Description Ordered in December 1917, the R class were designed to be faster underwater than on the surface, achieving a submerged speed of versus a surfaced speed of . They were well-streamlined, having no external ballast tanks, casing, or deck gun, and a streamlined spindle-shaped hull of circular cross-sectionFitzsimons, p.2170, "''R-1''" (not reproduced until the American USS ''Albacore'') which tapered sharply towards the stern and allowed only for a singl ...

Pierre Radisson-class Icebreaker
The ''Pierre Radisson''-class icebreakers, also known as R-class icebreakers, are a class of four icebreakers constructed for and operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The Canadian Coast Guard designates the four ships in the class as medium icebreakers. Built in two phases, the first three ships, , ''Franklin'' and , were built to a common design. The fourth, was built to a modified design and is considered a subclass, the Improved R-class icebreaker. ''Franklin'' was later renamed ''Sir John Franklin'' before undergoing a re-design for use primarily as an Arctic research vessel. Upon the vessel's return to service, the ship was once again renamed . All the vessels are named for people who sailed through Canada's northern waters. The class operates in the Arctic Ocean in the summer, patrolling, icebreaking and research missions. Design and description The ''Pierre Radisson'' class were designed for Coast Guard operations in the Arctic Ocean. ''Pierre Radisson'', being the first ...

Q And R-class Destroyer
The Q and R class was a class of sixteen War Emergency Programme destroyers ordered for the British Royal Navy in 1940 as the 3rd and 4th Emergency Flotilla. They served as convoy escorts during World War II. Three Q-class ships were transferred to the Royal Australian Navy upon completion, with two further ships being handed over in 1945. ''Roebuck'' had the dubious honour of being launched prematurely by an air raid at Scotts shipyard in Greenock, her partially complete hulk lying submerged in the dockyard for nine months before it was salvaged and completed. Design The Q and R class were repeats of the preceding , but reverted to the larger J-, K- and N-class hull to allow for the inevitable growth in topweight. As they had fewer main guns than the J, K and Ns, some magazine space was replaced by fuel bunkers, allowing some to be made at , rather than the of their predecessors. Like the O and Ps, they were armed with what weapons were available: guns on single mounting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
R-class Patrol Boat
The R-class patrol boats was a class of Finnish patrol boats, originally constructed as coastal minesweepers. They were modified into patrol boats by the end of the 1960s and transferred to the Patrol Flotilla and later to the 7th Missile Flotilla. They were then used for sea patrol and as anti-submarine warfare vessels. They were stricken from the Finnish Navy list in the 1990s. The three later vessels, ''Ruissalo'', ''Raisio'' and ''Röyttä'', were somewhat larger and the vessels are therefore sometimes referred to as the ''Rihtniemi'' and ''Ruissalo'' classes. However, the Finnish Navy used the designation R class for all five vessels. The R class was much liked in the Finnish Navy, due to their low fuel consumption and their good seagoing qualities. They were in principle unsinkable (the vessels could have a list of 115 degrees without sinking and still return to upright position). Vessels of the class * ''Rymättylä'' (51) / ''Suurop'' (P 421): Ordered in July 1955 fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
