	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).
		It is generally believed that an Akula displaces an estimated 7500 tons surfaced, 9100 tons submerged, with a length of 108-113 meters and a beam of 13.5 meters.
		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.

	Ballistic Missile Submarine (Nuclear Powered) "Akula" class
		The submarine is equipped with floating antennas of a type permitting to accept a radio reports, target destination and signals of satellite navigation on large depth and under ice.
		The first of the six members of the class to be commissioned was TK 208 in 1981, followed by TK 202 in 1983, TK 12 in 1984, TK 13 in 1985, TK 17 in 1987 and TK 20 in 1989.
		The submarines are stationed with the Russian Northern Fleet at Litsa Guba.

		It is the quietest Russian nuclear attack submarine; the noise radiated by the Akula-II class is comparable to that of last versions of the American Improved Los Angeles class.
		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.

	CNS - Ghost Of Russia's K-19 Haunts Us
		In 1998, a disgruntled sailor overpowered a guard and barricaded himself in the torpedo compartment of a Northern Fleet Akula-class submarine.
		A fire beneath the torpedoes would have led to the explosion of all of the submarine's ammunition, which would have destroyed the submarine, neighboring nuclear submarines and the port town of Gadzhiyevo, not to mention the greater consequences of destroying the nuclear reactors.
		Guards have often been caught supplementing their meager incomes of about $35 a month by stealing and selling metal from the submarines they are supposed to guard, or taking bribes to look the other way as others steal from the vessels.

		In the early 1980s, a totally different design of nuclear propulsion submarine was being produced at the Komsomolsk shipyard in the Soviet Union and given the designation "Akula" by NATO (Akula means shark in Russian).
		The Akula has six bow tubes and is capable of launching anti-ship and anti-submarine torpedoes as well as various missiles.
		This was my first submarine model, and I found it to be a lot of fun to build, though it was completely different from anything I’ve done before.

	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.
		Consequently, the 971, and not the 945, was adopted as the follow on general purpose submarine to replace the aging 671 fleet.
		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.

		However, as the delivery of new attack submarines to the Russian Navy dramatically slowed down by mid-90s, the issue for USA ceased to be burning, though 'environmentalists' (many of whom are known for their tight links to NATO special services), have been pursuing the same policy against the Russian Fleet up to date.
