	Submarine B-871 ("Alrosa") - Project 877V / Kilo class submarine
		The Kilo Class (Project 877) submarine was designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare in the protection of naval bases, coastal installations and sea lanes, and also for general reconnaissance and patrol missions.
		The Kilo is considered to be to be one of the quietest diesel submarines in the world.
		The submarine is equipped with six 533mm forward torpedo tubes situated in the nose of the submarine and carries 18 torpedoes with six in the torpedo tubes and twelve stored on the racks.

	Submarine Hunting
		But, as submarines usually move at a much slower speeds than warships in order to remain quiet, the warship is in a better position to execute a manoeuvre of this kind and also find the submarine — the possible position of which is marked by a red circle on this drawing.
		Submarine hunting is a very complex operation and requires a large number of assets with a very quick reaction time.
		With the advent of nuclear submarines this threat grew in intensity, because such boats are capable of hunting down all of enemy’s merchant traffic directly in front of the coast, and only limited by amount of food and weapons they carry.

	rediff.com: Sanctions hit Indian sub rescue training
		Submarine rescue is an area of major concern for the Indian Navy and is part of staff duty at the naval headquarters, but it is presently facing a roadblock due to sanctions following the Pokhran II nuclear blasts, sources said.
		The fact that submarine rescue is part of staff duty at the headquarters shows "how much the navy is aware of the disastrous consequences if a submarine faces such a crisis," argued naval officers.
		The four HDW submarines have an escape capsule in the front, which can carry all crew members, detach itself from the main body and float into the open waters, to be rescued by a ship.

		All four Kilo class submarines are deployed in the submarine base of the East Sea Fleet at Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province near the Taiwan Strait.
		To reduce the submarine’s acoustic signature, the flooding ports are removed from the forebody, and the hull is covered with rubber anti-sonar protection tiles to reduced the risk of detection.
		The submarine is equipped with six 533mm torpedo tubes in the nose of the submarine, capable of firing TEST-71MKE electric-homing anti-submarine (SAW) and 53-65KE wave-homing anti-surface torpedoes.

	Russian Kilo Class Submarine by Gene Kozicki (Trumpeter 1/144)
		The Kilo class attack submarine is a workhorse type of submarine that is often overlooked in favor of the sexier nuclear ballistic missile and fast attack subs made popular in the movies.
		The basic design of the Kilo class is sound, and though not the most glamorous ship, is actually quite effective, being one of the quieter diesel-electric submarines currently in use.
		Looking at several photos of different Kilo class submarines, the location and sizes of the real vents seem to vary from ship to ship, so I guess Trumpeter made a decision to place them based on the references they had access to.

	Kilo-class submarine - People's Liberation Army Navy
		The Kilo class submarines are a significant improvement over the Romeo class, of which the PRC has about 30 in service.
		The Kilo class is well suited for operations in the East Sea and South Sea, and it will remain one of China's main conventional submarines.
		Two of the four submarines were apparently taken out of service in 2000 after developing battery problems, and may have been returned to Russia for repairs.

	Israel steps up submarine acquisition [Free Republic]
		According to earlier reports in the Jewish and Western press, Israel is engineering its submarines to become capable of launching conventional or nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, which would give the Israel Defense Force a multi-tiered, land-attack capability against an enemy, similar to one developed years ago by the United States and Russia.
		In June, reports surfaced that the Israeli navy was testing a land-attack submarine cruise missile capability off the coast of Sri Lanka.
		The Dolphin class is designed for interdiction, surveillance and special-forces operations and is designed to travel at maximum speeds of 20 knots with a cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles.

	Dangerous Waters preview by Subsim.com
		Submarines no longer cruise straight to ordered depth; they experience minor “excursions” beyond what you've ordered, and correct themselves in a timely fashion.
		In the sim, the Russian and Chinese variants of the Kilo are both playable, though the only discernible differences between them are the weapons loadout and crew voices.
		The sonar station is devoid of such niceties found on the Akula such as a SNR readout and “Cycle Contacts” button, and of course, every once in a while, you'll have to snorkel to recharge the batteries, which can turn your “hole in the water” into a noisy target of opportunity for your enemy.
