Uh I dont really read French but that says right there on the site that the Typhoon is based on the one in the Hunt For the Red October so the guy knew he was doing that not the real typhoon class. Wht dont they make the Akula and the LA class subs seeing as that they are attack subs theyd be more fun i think.And movies are made by hollywood they never know anything I have a book printed in 1986 (Red October came out in 89 or 90 I think) and it has photos and a profile painting of a Typhoon so it was known what it looked like before the movie was made also dont forget that the Typhoon class in the movie/book was modified from a typhoon it had extra stuff in the story so they took some creative license.The "ballon" on the Akula houses some of the sonar equipment by the way.

@ fishlord you are right any person who knows what the sonar abiliteis(or anything else of them that is classified) of an Ohio class was in the navy on one or worked on them. My good friends dad served on the old Benjamin Franklin SSBNs that the Ohios replaced many years ago we used to ask him things for fun his answer;"If I told you two Id have to kill you or turn myslef in for telling you and wed all be in prison for life and I dont like either of those options."
