SSNs From what I knew they were still using Victor IIIs, Akulas and Alfas and Sierras. Has this Graney sub entered service yet? How does it compare to LAi's and Virginias?
SSGN: Mostly Oscars and Charlies yes?
SSKs, Kilo, Kilo Imp. and didn't they have another sub on the drawing board? Lada or something like that?

Some Delta IIIs are still around as are all the Delta IVs. Alfas are retired, A few Victors and most of the Serras are arounds. The Yasen/Graney is still on sea trials. Compared to the Virgina its
frikkin old. It was sitting in the shipyard for a decade so its not exactly cutting edge. Charlies are retired. They have one Lada operational, they have some upgraded Kilo in the works, and they got the Sarov class special projects boat.
