They're a seriously big bit of gear. I watched the movie "Crimson Tide" the other night - didn't realize that the name for these subs translated to "shark".

170m odd worth of submarine, yup they're a little bit on the large size!
The annoying thing is, the NATO name for these is the Typhoon, whereas our comrades from the land of vodka and snow call them Akula, or Shark.
But, us clever dicks at NATO decided to call another soviet submarine class the Akula class, which is more of a hunter-killer type sub as opposed to a missile subs like the Typhoons

I want one
