There's so many cool subs it's hard for me to choose a favorite. I guess if I had to choose one as a favorite it would be the Typhoon SSBN. It's huge, looks awesome, and some of my favorite novels revolve around the lumbering beast. The Cold War cat and mouse games with the Typhoon is interesting.

I've had a really stupid idea, but since they're so big I thought they should be saved from being turned into razor blades by turning them into submersible cruise ships. Who wouldn't want to go for a ride on a Typhoon?

It's hard to choose only one, probably typhoon class. But i also like kilo, golf, oscar, delta 4, type 212..... and of course beautiful type 7.

WWII: German VIIC/41 for its deep diving depth.

Modern: Type 212 for its sophistication and Kilo for its rugged simplicity that arguably still presents an effective tactical deterrent.

I like small boats.

You think a Kilo is small?

The Kilo is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) diesel submarine in the world.

She is bigger than some nucs!

A Kilo is relatively small than say US or Russian nuclear boats. But if they would make it smaller so it's more suitable to coastal area I'd like it more.

You know that there is an out of comission Oberon class sub in Sassnitz/East Germany (Dunkeldeutschland) as a tourist attraction? I have a "Oberon/Sassnitz" baseball cap and T-shirt.

I don't wear these because I have my subsim baseball cap and muscle shirt.

If you want the Oberon baseball cap and T-shirt, send me your postal adress via pm. Could be yours.

But to be on topic:

I would probably say the WWII type VIIc and the more modern type 212.
