	Akula class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are sometimes bitterly called "the Walker class," referring to John Anthony Walker, whose espionage data related to sonar detection was used to improve this submarine.
		There are three sub-classes or flights of Shchuka, consisting of the original seven "Akula I" submarines built between 1982 and 1986, five "Improved Akula" submarines built between 1986 and 1991, and four "Akula II" submarines built from 1991.
		Improved Akulas and Akula IIs have an additional six 533 mm torpedo tubes mounted externally, however it is unclear whether these are fully functional external tubes, or if they are only capable of launching Mines and decoys.

	Akula Class / Bars-class / Project 971
		Designated the "Akula" class by the West, and also widely known as the Bars (Snow Leopard) class, the submarine is reported to be officially designated Project 971 Shuka B (shuka is an aggressive breed of fresh water pike).
		Akula class submarines incorporate limber hole covers that can be closed to reduce or eliminate this source of unwanted noise.
		The status of the Akula II program is less certain, with at least one authoritative source maintaining that this class had yet to put to sea as of early 2000.

	SUBSIM Review - AKULA! The Soviet Shark
		The Akula class nuclear submarine is officially deemed Project 971 Shuka B (shuka is an aggressive breed of fresh water pike).
		First of her class, the K-480 (named Bars, Russian for panther) was laid down in 1982 at the Komsomol'sk Shipyard on the Amur River (Eastern Russia) under the authority of the Malakhit Design Bureau.
		The Akula does not follow the two-reactor tradition." Whichever the case may be, the Akula is capable of underwater speeds of 35 knots (claimed) and this, too, may be a conservative rating.

	WHAT
		The broad beam of the Akula Class appears to be related to measures intended to reduce propulsion machinery noise.
		Classified as Akula III Gepard’s advanced features allows to classify her as a 3-plus generation SSN in terms of performance characteristics she is very close to fourth-generation nuclear subs.
		Russian Akula Class SSN K -154 Tigre under the command of Aleksey Burilichev was reportedly successful of discreetly shadowing a particular United States Navy (USN) Ohio Class Ballistic missile armed nuclear-powered submarine (SSBN) in its “SSBN sanctuary” at least in one instance.

	Russia Ponders Selling Nuclear Submarines To China [Free Republic]
		These factors mean that "the Akula would probably be the submarine of choice," said Cole.
		The Malakhit official said both Akula submarines that might be sold are 30 percent complete, and could be ready in less than four years.
		Even two Akula submarines would be enough to "drastically improve" the Chinese Navy's capabilities, he said.

	941 TYPHOON - Russian and Soviet Nuclear Forces
		In fact, the Russian name for the class is "Akula" -- "Shark" -- which should not be confused with NATO's "Akula" SSN (which the Russians designate as "Bars").
		In May 2002 the Northern Fleet commander stated that three out of six Akula submarines were to be scrapped, though two of the Akula nuclear submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet had been repaired since 2001.
		By 2004 the three remaining project 941 (Akula) subs assigned to the 19th division of the Northern Fleet were still armed with the D-19 missiles.

	Sierra Class - Project 945
		The Sierra-I class had six major compartments: (1) the torpedo room, and battery, (2) crew quarters, officers mess and galley, (3) command center, computer complex, and diesel generators, (4) reactor, (5) main switchboard, pumps and geared turbines, (6) electric motors, steering gear and pumps.
		Construction of the Sierra class was halted in favor of the [probably] less expensive 'Akula' class.
		The chronology in Russia's (USSR) Arms Catalog evidently is partially derived from that of Bellona, which is suspect because of the discrepancy between the apparent "as of" date of the document and the reported dates of the chronology.

	Los Angeles Class SSNs
		Sound Emissions: The 688 Class were the quietest Attack Boats in service with any navy during the 1970s ~ 80s, being far quieter than the Soviet Victor I, II, III and Alfa Class SSNs which were the standard nuclear submarines of the Soviet Navy at the time.
		But they are reported to be considerably louder than the Improved Akula Class SSN of which one boat has entered service with the Russian Navy.
		The 688 Class when launghed during the middle of the cold war were the largest Attack Boats ever, displacing 6297 metric tons.

		The hull of the Victor I class was divided into seven compartments: 1 accommodations; 2 control room ; 3 reactor compartment; 4 turbines; 5 auxiliary...
		The project 705 SSN (later 705K) was intended for the destruction of enemy submarines as they left their bases, during transit by sea and also at prospective positions for the use of weapons against coastal targets.
		Essentially the most important element of the new SSN was an application for a strong titanium alloy case with a fluidity limit of 70-72 kg*s/mm2 during manufacture, this providing the increase in limiting immersion depth by a factor of 1.5 in comparison with the second generation SSN's.

		The Akulas now reportedly have sound levels equal to or lower than U.S. Los Angeles and possibly the future Virginia-class submarines.
		With the Gepard, reportedly the best of the Akulas, Russia is believed to have built 13 Akula-class submarines.
		The Gepard is of the improved Akula II series, and some experts believe Russia actually launched its first Akula II in 1996.

	Akula Class Nuclear Attack Submarine
		History: The Delfin class attack submarines (SSN) were originally conceived in 1972 as Project 971/971U "Bars", a strategic cruise missile launch platform (SSGN) capable of launching the S-10 Granat missile, a Soviet copy of the American Tomahawk cruise missile.
		As production of the 971U was initiated, attempts to reduce the noise signature to levels comparable with the early Los Angeles class boats were made, which necessitated the redesign of the engine spaces.
		Deployed roughly at the same time as the American Improved Los Angeles class fast attack submarines, the 971 boats produce more noise than the early Los Angeles class, though their performance is far superior to earlier Soviet designs.
