Is it to be a launch in the conventional sense or merely a lowering?HMS Astute is due to be launched in June-she will actually be lowered in front of some vvips and then later taken back out so all the missing kit can be put in!

To think that Western nations transfer money to Russia's deconstruction of rotting nuclear subs - while they spend their own money on building new nuclear subs... We could pay their new subs in the first. Would be less complicated.

You could yes but then dont you think the russian admiralty will say hmm money new ships lets have 12 carriers 16 cruisers 50 DDGs and 2000 other ships and 150 new submarines?

what it costs to scrap two old subs just about covers the cost of a new one.

Think you missed my point, Kapitan. Before the Russians build new subs - they should pay themselves for taking care of the radiating garbage in their harbours first.

Anyway this new Russian boomer seems to be quieter than Ohio-class SSBN. Thus after decades long efforts Russians finally have SSBN undetectable by US Navy. Yes, at more than 5 km distance "Borey" becomes true hole in the water! What a pity now it is too little and too late. Cold War would be much more interesting!

Might I ask how you know this?

The only people who should know anything about that are the real bubbleheads here...and half of them are retired.
