Wow, you guys are on it tonight! But at least, I am learning a few things.

Now that I think of it using Atlas Cheetah was a bit of a cheap shot. The Israelis and South African Mirage derivatives all looked pretty similar. There are a few giveaways though.

OK, since noone is taking a shot here, I'll give a hint. Until 2007 it was the biggest ....-submarine in service worldwide. Then another class took that spot.

Right, stick to the Russian theme...

Very simple actually...just answer the class of this boat, and what it famous for.

Papa class SSGN. Famous for fastest submarine of it's time. Precursor to the Alfa class SSN.

Yup, or should be known as K-162 (later renamed as K-222), an one-off design loaded with innovations. Its fame not only as the fastest sub (max. @ 44.7 knots submerged, at the tradeoff of noise), it was the first submarine with titanium hull construction.

But such design was so prohibitively expensive that only one was ever built.

Now kwaigonegin, your turn.
