Quick question, I read somewhere that teh Typhoon, the boomer, is actually called the Akula by the Russians, and Typhoon was its NATO designated name. And that the Russians Akula (again the NATO designation) class, the hunter killer, has a different name with the Russians.
Validation?
I don't know where you heard that, but the Typhoon-class SSBN is called Project 941 by the Russians. The Akula-class SSN is called Project 971 by the Russians.

However, NATO countries refer to the submarines as Typhoon and Akula.
