bear in mind they are huge boats twice as wide as a ohio at nearly 84ft in width and 505ft long, unlike most submarines which have a single screw they have two personally they are probably as quiet as a 688 given they were built in the mid to late 80's and into the 90's and used tech aquired from the walker spy ring, the akulas are quieter but again they are now ageing rapidly the oscar is no more than a floating battery and was never designed to conduct ASW missions its role is to hunt surface groups and is sometimes escorted by akulas and victors much like the typhoons and deltas, but this doesnt mean they are totaly helpless you wouldnt want to be on the wrong end of one of these.
