17) borey

as you can see 17 names and pennants now look up the list i can say the middle lot will all be gone by 2010 replaced by borey class which will number 12 hulls that is whats in service with the russian fleet

when i was saying french navy being underfunded i was meaning the surface fleet i do give them a hand because they have built the worlds smallest front line attack submarine.
as regards to the SSBN's i think they have two class in service cause they await a full hand over am i right (according to navy news)

and yes i knew the SSBN's are high priority for france i spent a week with a french family who showed me the area where you can see ships and submarines in france (long drive dont recomend it)

building a navy can be on paper or out in the yard when britain launched vanguard class 3 months after the last one came down the line plans were made to replace them in 2014 (apparently again navy news) fleets are forever undergoing changes be it minor changes like decor or major overhauls always changing hence why i said that

as like france russia is a submarine navy not surface ship navy they rely heavily on submarines there SSBN's are the best kept submarines in the fleet that is why when conscripts sign to the navy they always want to be assigned to a SSBN rather than SSN because of the better maintinance

third part i was asking a question are they rebuilding part of the fleet i know they got lafayette frigates but what else they building most of the ships are from the 70's and 80's and getting real old even my books dateing back to the 70's shows ships that are still in commission

3 hulls each motorised engine huh dont understand last part
