Many submarine pictures, different countries

Found this cool site while looking up the Virginia class subs. They've got a lot of pics of not only your standard countries' subs, but others as well such as Norway and Japan. Cool stuff.
Enjoy!!

(no actual Virginia pics there tho. only found this :: http://media.defenseindustrydaily.co...ruction_lg.jpg :: from here :: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...sed-bow-04159/ )

EDIT: also this interesting illustration :: http://media.defenseindustrydaily.co...Cutaway_lg.jpg

EDIT EDIT: And according to here, there are 5 Virginias in service currently :: http://www.sublant.navy.mil/VirginiaClass.htm ... ... wikipedia says there's 7 in service :: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_class_submarine

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Also found an odd discrepancy in pics of Virginias. Most I found look like this :: http://blogs.courant.com/on_backgrou...0Hampshire.jpg
but I also found this place, where the sail is rounded over and looks more like a Russian sail to me ... but somehow the image also looks photoshopped ... yet the site claims this is THE Virginia (which I know it's not). Anyone know what this actually IS? :: http://www.alphapatriot.com/wp-conte...iaClassSub.jpg

That picture of the Virginia with the rounded sail is definitely a photoshop. an interesting concept, but not a real one in the slightest

yeah, it does and doesn't look photoshopped. the water streams are quite well done if it is. it IS a semi-typical Russian style sail ala Akula, Mike, or Alpha ... so maybe it actually IS a Russian sub.

speaking of Russian subs, some interesting info here :: http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/russia/submar.htm

trying to look up pics of the most modern of modern Russian subs now ...

The "Virginia" with the rounded sail is fake, 100%. The hull of the submarine in the picture is real and is an American sub, possibly 688, but has that Russian looking sail added over the picture. I use this site here as a reference for my work with the modern subs project. http://www.navsource.org/ Lots of good pictures there. Also SubLants' and wikis' numbers match 7&7.
