Just a quick note on your screen write up for the 688i...

I note that you list them as having BQQ-10 as their installed sonar suite. This depends entirely on WHEN you are using them. I served on the USS MONTPELIER (SSN 765) fairly early on in my career, and at the time, BQQ-10 didn't exist... it was still in the very early development stages. If you are trying to set them up as CURRENTLY outfitted (IE, post 2010), then there's no problem. Otherwise, you want to list them as AN/BSY-1.

And since SEAWOLF was mentioned in relation to this, same story, only it would be AN/BSY-2.
