S5 is the code name for a planned class of India's nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines.[2] S5 will have double of displacement of preceding Template:Sclass- and will be India's first "true-blue" SSBN with capabilities comparable to those fielded by the permanent members of the UN Security Council.[1][3]
Development
The Indian government made an assessment of India's capability to design and construct a class of three new ballistic missile submarines codenamed 'S5' in 2006 when it was realised that the reactor and payload capacity of the Arihant-class submarines was limited. These submarines were initially planned to be operationalised beginning in 2021 but were later delayed. This delay had prompted the Indian government to sanction an additional Arihant-class submarine in 2012 to avoid the idling of the production line.[1]
