Yeah, Typhoon class was a cold war submarine . I also have read about it. It was a try to provide the crew a bit more free room. Normally, a sub is too small to have any comfort. Even the commander sleeps in a room smaller than a prison cell. You can see the result on this wonderful pics: a incredible big submarine, maybe a bit too big. But since it was a nuclear missisle sub, the length was not that important. The special thing about the Typhoon class was that is has 2 nuclear reactors and not only one that most nuclear subs have (explains also the size). So we have here a nuclear sub armed with nukes . I think the most ones were put out of service in the late 90's and only like 6 were build (don't remember exactly).

Okay, I've found it again: 20 nuclear missisles, 6 533mm torpedoes (actually since WW2 international standart caliber), 8-10 AA missisles and build on the Sewerodwinsk shipyard. Also named as "Projekt 941". Typical is that is under water double as fast as above (thanks to the german WW2 scientists, the "Walter Turbine"). Like 170m long and 23,3 m in width. I have used "TK-202" for this data. They were build to as an answer to the US Ohio class and when the Cold War ended there was no need to maintain them. "TK-202" was put out of servic in 2006. Man, I love this book .

LoL

Edit: Don´t underestimate the swiss. They are masters in fortifications to defend their choclate factories, especially against the belgians.
