• There is an inconsistancy on this page and Typhoon class submarine, this one calls the submarines with the NATO designation "typhoon" "bars" whereas the Typhoon class submarine article says that the NATO designation "akula" belongs to the "bars" class of soviet submarine. Does anyone know which is which? HoratioVitero 18:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC) sorry about the name issue
  • It's like this:

NATO reporting name	Project	Russian name	other names
Typhoon	941	Akula
Akula	971	Shchuka-B	Bars (lead ship)

the information in the *appearances in film* section is not correct: in the movie as well as in the novel 'The hunt for red october' no Akula class attack submarine appears. however it s an fast attack submarine, nato designation Alfa, soviet project number 705 'Lira' --Solarsystemsurfer 17:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leasing to India "edit-discussion"

I would politely ask all the Indian Navy fans not to 1) post unquoted, alleged, unverified info without giving a single citation, 2) edit quoted, verified, citation-provided edits that do not fit their own personal wishes/POV/wet dreams, 3) making erroneous/blatantly false edits (like 900 km range for Club missiles instead of 300 km) 4) putting "pseudo-citations" that, when checked, consist of some newspaper article that has nothing to do with the matter.

There is NO OFFICIAL discussion about Akulas being leased to India, let alone sold. Actually, the only OFFICIAL who spoke about it was the Indian Navy CINC (citation provided in the article), who denied it. Period. Reverse-editing and deletion of previous info that comes without explanation (at least on the talk page) can be considered as vandalism.
