 The Third Battle: Innovation in the U.S. Navy's Silent Cold War Struggle with Soviet Submarines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The submarines which fought World War I were surface ships which were expected to submerge only in order to attack and escape better-armed surface targets, but which also lost a considerable portion of their mobility and situational awareness when submerged, and therefore much of their potential offensive power.
Sound traveled well underwater and submarines could often be heard at ranges of several miles, but in order to use such passive sonar escorts had to come to a complete stop so as to prevent their own noise from drowning out the submarine signal.
Concurrent with these submarine design developments were a series of both real and anticipated submarine weapon developments, including the first introduction of nuclear weapons, their deployment on submarine-launched ballistic and cruise missiles for land attack, the development of first nuclear and then conventional antishipping missiles, and the development of long range nuclear ballistic missiles.

Approximately 200 of Russia’s 240 submarines are slated to be decommissioned and scrapped by 2010.
Submarine fuel is very highly enriched, sometimes even up to “weapons grade,” so that a submarine can operate for a longer period of time with infrequent refuelings.
Submarine fuel, instead of requiring a separate re-processing facility could be diverted into a funded program, that is capable of dealing with the spent fuel in a ecologically sound manner.

Consequently, Soviet submarines no longer needed to pass through Western SOSUS sonar barriers to come within range their targets.
It was initially deployed on four Delta II submarines, which carry 16 R-29D missiles instead of 12 R-29 missiles.

 NTI: Submarine: Russia Capabilities
The "attack" or multipurpose nuclear submarine force traditionally had a primarily anti-ship and anti-submarine mission: they were supposed to hunt and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships (the priority target was U.S. aircraft carriers).
In 1998, a new SLBM program, "Bulava-30" was launched, and the Borey class had to be redesigned for the new missile; this also doomed Akulas (except for the first submarine in that class, the TK-208, later named Dmitriy Donskoy, which was overhauled to serve as a testing platform for the future SLBM).
Reportedly, Russia plans to build several more submarines of this class, completing vessels whose construction was frozen in the 1990s due to the lack of funding.

 Virtual Globetrotting: Russian Delta III Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine
Like the earlier Delta class submarines the Delta III is a double hulled design with a thin low magnetic steel outer hull wrapped around a thicker inner pressure hull.
The submarine was the first that could launch any number of missiles in a single salvo, also the first submarine capable of carrying ballistic missiles with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles.
The submarine carried 16 of the R-29R missiles each carrying 3 to 7 MIRVs, with a range of 6,500 to 8,000 km, depending on the number of re-entry vehicles.

 Worldandnation: Military's all geared up, but missile launch is a no-go
Putin, who is expected to easily win the presidential election March 14, went to the Barents Sea on board the giant Arkhangelsk submarine to observe maneuvers set to involve numerous missile launches and flights of strategic bombers.
But the ambitious exercise hit a snag when a ballistic missile - a missile that is launched on a high-arch trajectory to hit a target - failed to blast off as scheduled from another submarine, the Novomoskovsk, a government official said on condition of anonymity.
The exercises, which began in late January, reached their peak Tuesday when 13 Northern Fleet ships and seven nuclear submarines, including the Arkhangelsk, went out to sea, practicing launches of air defense missiles, according to Channel One television.

Though its original establishment was in response to the growing threat of the Soviet submarine force early in the Cold War, it has evolved to be the center of tactical development for all aspects of the Submarine Force.
In 1977, its designation was changed to Submarine Development Squadron TWELVE, and it remains the oldest tactical development organization in the Navy, while its reputation for excellence sets the standard for all.
It is ironic that what makes submarines so successful in carrying out national military objectives – their stealth – also makes it so hard to sell their strengths.
