You cannot beat the Conneticut or Seawolf (Is the Jimboy Carter in service, or was it canceled during building?)

It eats Akula's for breakfast
It steps on victors like a bug
It is the best sub out there, excluding the Virginia, which IS the best sub in the world.

No russian sub can even come close.......(thats for kapitan)

No russian sub needs to the IL38's and TU142's will blow the thing out of the water should it enter russian waters, also its not about who has the most advanced submarine its how well you train the crew you may have an inferior boat but a superior crew and at the end of the day that is wat counts.

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.

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.

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 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!)

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

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?

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

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

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.

I'd just throw a banana peel into the water and wait.

The lada amur i would immagine comes pretty close seeing as it doesnt use conventional screw (although it says it does and pictures you say when she was built)

The german 212 / 214 are alot quieter infact the 212 is so quiet that they have to put noise makers on the rear of the submarine so the ASW forces have something to do!

Sounds like the ASW guys need an equipment upgrade!
