i do say take it with a pinch of salt but as so many have said the seawolf is a good design and i do agree with then reasons:
the sail stops the submarine from turtle if it does a fast sharp turn
the sails ram like shape allows equal displacement of water on each side reducing noise
the seawolf is 2 generations ahead of the alfa you could only ever compair speeds and other such data technology well the obvious its gotta be american.
in terms of metalurgy the russians were ahead and in AIP propulsion too at one stage but germany over took them and russia is only now re visiting this technology.
i speculate because of what history has told us ie bricks dont fly to well nor do they swim well either id consider the seawolf an oddly shaped brick hence why i say what ive said.
