Behold the Severodvinsk—the pride of the Russian Navy, the first of the post-Soviet era Yasen-class submarines.
Submarines made me absolutely giddy. I love them more than any other military technology in the last centruy. They will just always represent unfathomable sci-fi technology to me. Nuclear power? Undetectable? Weapons in the range of 2500 km? Sonar navigation? Living underwater, sustainably, for months at a time? I'd love to the full run down on specs on this one, specifically. I know there have been some kickass advancements in naval ships recently, so a flagship of the Russian navy and an entirely new, 40-year development sub must be staggering.
