Thanks ET2SN,
Well, I tried the reverse scenario - detected the Sturgeon at 19km. Fired 3 USET-80s (because it's 1985 for this test) at 10,500m.
He 'Ramiused' me by heading straight for me at speed. The torps went past him (was using default settings, need to try custom settings).
Fired a Shkval (operational since 1977), clipped him (45% damage) and he left the area at 21 knots. He never detected or fired at me. It wasn't a very challenging encounter.
Perhaps I misspoke when I said 'David and Goliath' - I always thought the Akula was a very capable boat, based on the Walker Spy Ring, Briton David Bingham and Toshiba-Kongsberg scandals, and had the West quite worried.
In Dangerous Waters, I've always found it hard to kill Akulas because of their ability to quickly 'get away' from the place where the torpedos have been sent.
Cheers,
