Lost? What do you mean?
The IXB type was the most successful overall, in relation to average number of kills for instance.

There's so many cool subs it's hard for me to choose a favorite. I guess if I had to choose one as a favorite it would be the Typhoon SSBN. It's huge, looks awesome, and some of my favorite novels revolve around the lumbering beast. :D The Cold War cat and mouse games with the Typhoon is interesting.

I've had a really stupid idea, but since they're so big I thought they should be saved from being turned into razor blades by turning them into submersible cruise ships. Who wouldn't want to go for a ride on a Typhoon? :ping::haha:

It's hard to choose only one, probably typhoon class. But i also like kilo, golf, oscar, delta 4, type 212..... and of course beautiful type 7.

USS Phoenix SSN-702

Or, as we called her, the Flaming Chicken. Note the ballcap. We were the only boat in the fleet authorized to have something other than dolphins on our covers. If you see a Phoenix ballcap w/o the flaming chicken logo, it is a fake.

The side steamer style paddle wheels make this sub 1000% quieter than a single plankton this sub keeps naval intel officers officers around the world up many nights.

"I've had a really stupid idea, but since they're so big I thought they should be saved from being turned into razor blades by turning them into submersible cruise ships. Who wouldn't want to go for a ride on a Typhoon? :ping::haha:"

The Russians use the very high quality steel that they where made of to construct other submarines and warships so they are putting it to good use.

WWII: German VIIC/41 for its deep diving depth.

Modern: Type 212 for its sophistication and Kilo for its rugged simplicity that arguably still presents an effective tactical deterrent.

I like small boats.

You think a Kilo is small? :haha:

The Kilo is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) diesel submarine in the world. :03:

She is bigger than some nucs! :D

You know that there is an out of comission Oberon class sub in Sassnitz/East Germany (Dunkeldeutschland) as a tourist attraction? I have a "Oberon/Sassnitz" baseball cap and T-shirt.

I don't wear these because I have my subsim baseball cap and muscle shirt.

If you want the Oberon baseball cap and T-shirt, send me your postal adress via pm. Could be yours.

Sorry.. :oops:

:shifty:

But to be on topic:

I would probably say the WWII type VIIc and the more modern type 212.

A Kilo is relatively small than say US or Russian nuclear boats. But if they would make it smaller so it's more suitable to coastal area I'd like it more.

A Kilo is relatively small than say US or Russian nuclear boats.

Even compared to a US SSN its still quite big. I have models at the same scale of both a 688(i) and Kilo on my desk and the Kilo is 2/3rds the size of the 688(i) and is almost the size of a Trafalgar SSN. :yep:

Aaah...it's quite bulbous indeed. Seems the Lada is much smaller then. It might replace my liking for the Kilo. As long as the Lada is not overly sophisticated. The beauty or appeal of Russian boats to me is their rugged simplicity.
