Fallout 4 - Chinese Submarine Yangtze

thingiverse

The Yangtze-31, Chinese: 扬子-三十一;, is a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine commanded by Zao. Initially discovered by the Sole Survivor in 2287, it's anchored off the coast of the Commonwealth south of Boston Airport and northeast of Four Leaf fishpacking plant. The submarine isn't marked on the map until the Sole Survivor swims out to it. Upon discovery, the quest Here There Be Monsters will automatically start if it hasn't been received already from Donny Kowalski near Shamrock Taphouse. The Yangtze is a unique ballistic missile submarine design featuring three large propellers located on either side and under the reactor control room, as well as a smaller propeller at the rear of the sub with the rudder. All facilities and machinery are situated fore of the conning tower, which sits halfway on the sub, with only a small propeller and the rudder being behind the conning tower. The first room the Sole Survivor comes to when entering the submarine is the control room/bridge where Zao is located. Down the stairs is the reactor control room with a radio room on the port side (left when facing forward). There are two doors on either side of this room leading to a small room with a cage wall and a large machine behind, presumably the propeller drive shaft. Behind the reactor room and under the bridge is a room containing machinery and instrument panels. On the port side of the room is Captain Zao's quarters, while on the starboard side is the officers' mess. Forward of the reactor control room is the upper reactor level with the reactor access hatch and a stairway leading to the lower level. The lower level contains reactor machinery and two doorways at the rear leading to the engine room for the lowest of the large propellers. Past the reactor room on the upper floor is a small room containing two decontamination showers and a locked door with a stairway to the lower deck, as well as a science lab on the port side of the room. Forward of that room (still on the upper level) is the sub's mess room, galley, and food storage opposite the galley. Forward of the mess is the crew quarters containing 80 beds configured in stacks of three and four, the sub's lavatories, a laundry room on the port side, as well as the ships med-bay/infirmary on the starboard side. At the front of the quarters are two doorways leading into each other at the front of the sub, then leading into a room on the lower deck with machinery and a workshop on the starboard side, along with a storage room on the port side. The next room contains a doorway on the starboard side leading to the sub's armory, and a hallway at the end leading to the silo room. The silo room contains six missile silos with three along each side, each with an access hatch allowing the crew to access the SLBM inside. All are closed except for the one with the missile that failed to launch. The next room is a small room before the reactor room containing a locked door to the upper level. Unlike the only other Chinese submarine the player character can encounter in the series, SSN-37-1A, the Yangtze is indeed a full-scale combat vessel with extensive crew amenities and visible missile and torpedo tubes. It's shaped very differently from any real-world submarine, unlike the SSN-37-1A, which bears a conventional albeit small design.
