It’s about the same quiet as our Trident boats...designed in the 70s and built in the 80s.

And they can afford to build only 2 or 3.

Nice song. I’d never heard of it.

I’m not cut out for submarine service. I have have no problem with isolation. It’s just the gnawing problem of
being in one that wasn’t going to come back up, with no
hope of surviving.

Caterpillar Drive? I’ve never seen a caterpillar drive anything, including the tiny Micro cars I set out for them.

Now those damned ants lifted the cars up on their collective shoulders, build an underground race track, and kept all the proceeds. I’m going to sue them!!!

Yeah these sort of secret things are always announced in “The Drive”

The Drive is a car oriented site which hosts the separate site called the War Zone. The War Zone leases space, so to speak, and cuts Tyler’s overhead.

With nearly 30 years to develop computer hardware and signal processing algorithms... I’m not sure you can be quiet enough...

Which is one reason why many countries are going back to diesel-electric AIG subs with pump jets instead of props. The US Navy continues to favor the most technical of solutions, limiting it to a few copies at enormous expense - which often do not work cf: CVN Ford, DDG-1000, and the whole LCS fiasco. The new purchases of the Italian designed frigate/cruiser may be another one in the works.

Will the crew be fitted with lead-lined jockstraps ?

if a Russian sings something about rum that would be "Fifteen Men On the Dead Man's Chest", I can't imagine we many people know anything other than that. Even that song is something bookish. I think that these three would be more frequent:

1.The sea has spread wide
English lyrics

2. A sailor from Ordynka (a street in Moscow)
English lyrics

3.Yablochko (The little apple)
English lyrics

And the third is the most popular.
