My little sister is a Forest Ranger in Colorado.

This is her at work one day about 12 years ago..At that time she was assigned to the "search and rescue" division.

I am really, really surprised that the Russians slipped up enough for someone to get a picture of their submarine's propellers...

I have a lifelong friend who is supervisor now of a large crew of divers who's main job is cleaning the bottom of US Navy ships and subs..

They all have top secret clearance, to be able to know what the sub's screws look like..

Here it is, open source on the internet. It's a beast , this Russian boomer.

It's the only submarine to fire her battery of missiles from in front of the sail, the Project 941 Akula NATO code named Typhoon.

She is so large and so bold, Hollywood made a film about her after Tom Clancy wrote the book "Hunt For Red October". This submarine is a statement, and is the largest submarine constructed, longer than the American sub, the Ohio. Twice as wide, she carries 20 missiles, each weighing 90 tons, and displaces 48,000 tons of water when submerged (the same as a Tarawa LPA). A twin side by side hulls design, with two reactors, two screws, a swimming pool, sauna and a gym -- sounds more like a cruise ship.

However today only one TK208 remains in active service they are being replaced by the smaller more cost effective Borei class submarines.
