Same goes for the submarines of the PRC.

Han, Xia, Ming, Song, and Yuan are all codenames IIRC.

Also lots of Russian support ships get their NATO class names after the shipyard they were built at. For example the Polnocny LSM are built in Polnocny Shipyard Cdansk.

but they made a right mess of the system and its fairly hard to follow for new people on the block

Probably not, but I remember seeing a TV show where they said the Typhoon class boats have pools... and no, I'm not kidding. I believe it was the Discovery series Submarines: Sharks of Steel.

IIRC, someone posted a sonar recording of a Typhoon with men jumping in the pool.

mission invisible a documentary i have on disk shows a man jumping into a pool.

TLAM Strike, kind of off the subject here, but seeing your last post suddenly made me think of a game that I haven't thought about in a looooong time, EV:NOVA!! The EV series is some of my favorite gaming experiences, and my first modding experiences, I played all three EV versions as they went along, but its been at least a few years since I last played NOVA. Is it still going strong, and what's Firerfly all about? Anybody whispering about a next installment of EV? I still have my old Ambrosia T-Shirt, with their cool logo! :rock:

I haven’t heard anything about the next EV, some have said NOVA maybe the last. But a patch for EVN was just release, but I heard some things got messed up so I didn’t install it.

Firefly is a Sci Fi series by Joss Whedon about a crew of smugglers and mercenaries on the run from the law (well its a lot more than that, a description would be about 6 paragraphs long). The show was canceled (By of course FoX) but fan support got a DVD set released (it sold very very well) and Universal bought the rights to make a film (a trilogy in fact), which was released last September and came out on DVD a month ago. The EV: Firefly mod basically follows the life of the Captain Mal Reynolds from the end of the civil war (in which he was a sergeant on the losing side) to the start of the series (and maybe beyond it we haven’t decided that yet.)
