If they left these on i wonder how much extra noise there would be ?

especially as this submarine has a top speed of 44.7 knots i could imagine it being like a freight train running past a house and with these left on even louder.

And this is the back end of the K222 project 661 Anchar and still holds the fastest sustained underwater speed record (Alfa could only sprint not sustain)
Considered the predecessor to Charlie I and Alfa this boat had a titanium hull armed with 10 SS-N-7 ASM she like Charlie and Oscar are one shot wonders.

The boat was out of comission in 1988 and scrapped at zerverodorchka in 2010
