  Typhoon class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Typhoon class submarine is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s.
Typhoon submarines are also the subject of a fictional novel, Typhoon, written by Mark Joseph, which is about an attempted takeover of the Soviet Union by rebellious officers using Typhoon submarines to threaten nuclear missile launches on their own country of Russia.
The Typhoon class submarine with a complement of 20 nuclear missiles was salvaged and intended to be used as a mine for the final strike against Zorndyke.

I may venture to assert the same of every aspect of the story, while I confess that the particular typhoon of the tale was not a typhoon of my actual experience.
At its first appearance "Typhoon," the story, was classed by some critics as a deliberately intended storm-piece.
Both the typhoon and Captain MacWhirr presented themselves to me as the necessities of the deep conviction with which I approached the subject of the story.

 Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most intense storm on record was Typhoon Tip in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1979, which had a minimum pressure of only 870 mbar and maximum sustained wind speeds of 190 mph (305 km/h).
Typhoon Nancy in 1961 had recorded wind speeds of 215 mph (345 km/h), but recent research indicates that wind speeds from the 1940s to the 1960s were gauged too high, and this is no longer considered the fastest storm on record.
Similarly, a surface-level gust caused by Typhoon Paka on Guam was recorded at 236 mph (380 km/h); had it been confirmed, this would be the strongest non-tornadic wind ever recorded at the Earth's surface, but the reading had to be discarded since the anemometer was damaged by the storm.

Armed with 20 ballistic missiles with 10 warheads each, Typhoon submarines —; Russia calls them Akulas — are the world’s largest, and they were one of the most feared submarines during the Cold War.
The elimination of the Typhoons, first deployed in the early 1980s, reflects a declining trend in Russian strategic submarine force capabilities since the 1980s, attributed in part to scarce funding and facilitated by the CTR program (see GSN, July 9).
Three Typhoons were decommissioned in the mid-1990s, according to analyst Igor Kudrik of the Norwegian environmental organization Bellona, which monitors Russian nuclear weapons activities.

This class was also seen in the movie "Hunt for the Red October".
This model of the Typhoon is powered by two electric motors, which propel twin brass propellers.
At its heart is a reduction gear system which delivers power from the motors to the propellers so efficiently, there is no excessive strain on the motors, no rapid depletion of the motor battery, thus, reaching a running-time of up to 1,5 hours.

 ESL Cafe's Idea Cookbook - Typhoon
You, the teacher, draw a big blank grid on the board, which must be sized according to the size of the class - 3 by 4 if there are 10-12 kids, 5 by 5 for a class of 25, etc. The grid is labelled using letters at the top, and numbers down the side.
You should have your own identical grid drawn in your file, in which each square contains a number (0-5), or a "T", for "typhoon." The class is divided into two teams, and questions are put to each kid in the class, going from team to team.
Should a child choose a square with a "T" in it, you shout "typhoon", and the OTHER team loses all the points they've already gained.
