 Come on, give them some credit. I'm sure the akula has it's functions. Plenty of weapons, fast boat, the improved and II's are as quiet as most of the subs built at that time, great looking boat, with a price tag of less than half of the Virginia's, what more do you ask for?

I never said it wasn't capable, just that I am convinced the designers in Russia have an eye for good looks too!
