Submarines, and even more so nuclear ones, have become the personification of technological progress: it is on ships for a covert attack that the most modern developments first appear.
This Is Most Deadliest Submarine The Whole World Is Afraid Of..
Speaking of the naming of the ships, there may be some confusion. Project 971 was named "Akula" in the West, after the lead ship K-284. At home the submarine was named "Shchuka-B", thereby repeating the glorious combat history of the "pikes" of World War II.
But the Russians called "shark" an entirely different project (No. 941), also known as "Typhoon". I can't help mentioning the fact that since 1990 the boats began to get names of their own. Curiously enough, all the ships made in Severodvinsk have "cat" names, similar to the designations of the Bars type ships.
Other ships were named after Russian cities or regions, such as the submarines Bratsk, Kuzbass, or Magadan.
