Thanks for the info. So this submarine is not something that could make it to our shores with a nuke and would be used mainly for a defense of their own waters? Just curious how far this sub could travel.

I doubt it would have the fuel capacity to make it to North America without a tender. Even the U boats rendezvoused with submarine tenders or specially modified 'milch cow' submarines to take on fuel and supplies.
