I believe the difference is in the length. When LWAMI devloped the mod he put the thin lines on the Stbd side, he explains the reasoning for that, so if my figures still hold the Stbd Arrays are-688i TB 23 2950 feet, Seawolf TB 29 3300 feet. Both Boats have the Fat line TB 16 now on the port side and it was 2600 feet. The Akulas are now listed at 701 meters, and in SC it was 330 or about 1000 feet. That is all I have to go on regarding the Akula. As far as I know the reel motor is still constant speed. The Arrays on the 688i and Seawolf maybe longer is DW, maybe Jamie could clarify that. In SC the ployment speeds are Pelamida 2.5 miutes, 16 2.5 mintues, 23 3 mintues and the 29 is 3.5 minutes.

Not much of answer but about the only one I came up with,
