Hi Kapitan, here's a question:

What's the typical mission type for a Russian SSN, or SSGN while on routine deployment?

I mean, for American submarines the typical mission are either carrier escort with the sub being attached to a CVSG escorting the carrier from area to area, or the mission is a coastal reconnisance mission with the sub sitting off the coast of another nation with mast up eavedropping on electronic signals.

Can the same be said for the Russian subs? Coastal recon and SSBN escorting the mainstay of patrol duty? What about SSGN routine patrols? Those oscars are too big to be dragged into shallow water for spy missions, do they just sorta poke around in the deep with no primary mission tasking?
