im not realy speculating its more my opinion the way i do see it, based on what i think helped by a shot in the dark at what the officals say.

im not saying that the seawolf isnt capible of high speeds im saying its unlikely because of its shape and its not hydrodynamicaly efficent, but the alfa is

it is plausible the seawolf could hit 50 knots but the sub @10,000tonnes and wide not to metion long and the sail thats like a brick kinda says maybe not.

its not a personal bias just the way i see this

you can recreate a wind tunnel test for both these submarines all you need is wol a fan and 2 plastic models
