One thing I don't get.

In The Hunt for Red October, the USS Dallas, which is a FLT I boat, has a tail section that looks like what Revell is selling.

Some other model makers are offering the same thing, without the extra vertical stabs on the tail fin:

In cold waters, the only boat that has this tail config is the Ohio class if you install the extra boats mod.
