40000 shp steam turbine, one shaft Speed: 18-24 knots surfaced, 43-45 knots submerged Depth: 800 m test, 1300 m crush Complement: 27 officers, 4 petty officers Armament: Six 533-mm (21-inch) torpedo tubes:
18 SET-65 or 53-65K torpedoes
20 VA-111 Shkval torpedoes
21 SS-N-15 cruise missiles
12 SS-N-16 cruise missiles
24 mines

1300 meters = 4265 feet (That is deep)

45 knots is damn fast too. that is just barely over 51 MPH. Getting close to torpedo territory.
At that speed it would not trigger additional attention if they had attached a siren to the nose like those StuKas once had.
Plus, the Alfas have all been withdrawn from service. I'm forced to agree with ASWNut101: Seawolf.
