Hello,
i find this pretty interesting, it looks as if you used original plans (?), and then modified them ?
I always found the shape of the russian subs pretty good, and streamlined, however i think the original Alpha project with smaller hulls was much more promising. Less surface = less resistance. Of course you need buoyancy for the payload, but... a light titanium hull with exchangeable hard- and software adapting to future tech and needs, would be a better investition - more smaller boats instead of a few big ones are cheaper, and less likely to detect.
Also, the early US subs were better streamlined, than are the new ones. You cannot make a long cylindrical hull and improve the flow along the hull, while making it more silent. The original Albacore or Scorpion hull was better, in that respect.
b.t.w. What is "WoT" ?
