(1) Sorry, former boomer sailor, aka "bubblehead"
Boomer. hehehehhee. Typhoon's are bigger then the ones you said though :)

Actually, it depends on how you look at it :-)

Displacement Surfaced    23,200 tons           16,600 tons
Propulsion
Nuclear water reactors   2 x 190 MW            1 x ??? MW
Steam turbines           2 x 50,000 hp         2 x 60,000 hp

                     20 missiles with 10 MIRV's    24 missiles with 12
MIRV's
                     = 200 nuclear warheads        = 288 nuclear warheads

I think considering our technical advantages and the fact that "we" can find
"them" a lot easier, I know which one I would rather be on!

They are "wide" because they are 2 subs in one, running parallel to each
other. Interesting concept!

(5) Sorry, that depth is classified! If I told you I would have to kill • you.
I already know it's below 1500 meters (feet? I get those mixed up)

No comment ;-)

(...) It's mine (...) I had to shorten it for the area I was given. (...) It's not in port. :) (...) No (...) It's on the reverse side of the missile (...) It can spark lots of discussion. Not many naval vessels are seen on LUGNet (...) Boomer. (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.michlug)
