Weel, wit american training and the most advanced sub, I think seawolf has good points here.

The swedish gotland class has given the Seawolf the slip many times, also the british trafalgar boats have made numerous mission kills on the seawolf during exercises like neptune warrior.

Did they ever mention how fast the wolf was going, and how deep the water was, or how about if the crew of the seawolf had to make a little noise in neptune warrior?

Nothing comes close? well with the SS-N-16 and a helo theres no need helo finds the seawolf akula fires her ASROC's and its tata seawolf.

I meant that nothing comes as close to the seawolf's power and cost.

The British have thee best training sub school in the world and that is a fact, Admiral rickover and the USN have all publicly admitted that, the british train american, Australian, Russia, German, Indian naval officers theres nothing at all like the training that is acheived.

So? They are just making americans better at something they were already masters at......

So if i wanted to kill a seawolf all id do is swing by pick up a traffie and a good crew and give me an hour and seawolf will be fish food garenteed. (and yes in exercises its been done before the USN under estimated the power of a british SSN many times!)

hmm, the Trafalagar is a FINE sub indeed, but you are underestemating the seawolfies detection capabilities.


Oh, and finnaly, The Virginia is quieter than the Traffie, More detection capable, and less expensive than the seawolf. It's quieter too.
