Thanks. There is quite a big difference between Delta-I and Delta-IV though: Delta-I - 12 ballistic missiles, displacement 13,700 t, 16 ballistic missiles, displacement 18,200 t. And according to Russian classification both Yankee and Delta are called Project 667:Della Class SSBNs

Yankee - Project 667A/AU - 34
Delta I - Project 667B - 18
Delta II - Project 667BD - 4
Delta III - Project 667BDR - 14
Delta IV - Project 667BDRM - 7
Total number of Project 667 subs - 77. That makes Project 667 the most produced nuclear submarine, overpassing Los Angeles with 62.
Hello. Here a short review of all SSBNs:Next will be AC or Destroyers or Missiles or Hali copters ?
Type XXI submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBetween 1943 and 1945, 118 boats were assembled by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg, AG Weser of Bremen, and F. Schichau of Danzig. Each hull was constructed from eight prefabricated sections with final assembly at the shipyards. This new method could have pushed construction time below six months per vessel, but in practice all the assembled U-boats were plagued with severe quality problems that required extensive post-production work to fix. One of the reasons was, as a result of Albert Speer's decision, sections were made by companies having little experience in shipbuilding. As a result, of 118 Type XXIs completed, only four were fit for combat before the war ended in Europe.
Holy moly.. Germany built more then 1000 subs and still couldn't defend.. Apart from the main reason being invaded from land, in those days subs had limited range and no way the crew was trained enough when you have the production of this scale in such short period..
U-boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAdvances in convoy tactics, high frequency direction finding (HFDF, huff-duff), radar, active sonar (called ASDIC in Britain), depth charges, ASW spigot mortars (hedgehog), the intermittent cracking of the German Naval Enigma code, the introduction of the Leigh Light, the range of escort aircraft (especially with the use of escort carriers), the use of mystery, and the full entry of the U.S. into the war with its enormous shipbuilding capacity, all turned the tide against the U-boats. In the end, the U-boat fleet suffered extremely heavy casualties, losing 793 U-boats and about 28,000 submariners (a 75% casualty rate, the highest of all German forces during the war).
At the same time, the Allies targeted the U-boat shipyards and their bases with strategic bombing.
List of U-boats never deployed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaDuring the Second World Was , the German Navy built over a thousand U-boats or submarines for service in the Battle of the Atlantic and elsewhere. Although the majority of these had active service careers, and 784 of them were lost at sea, there were still several hundred boats which were never completed or completed too late to see any war service. These boats were sometime solely commissioned as training craft, or were too badly damaged by bombing to be worth completion. Most however were finished in the last six months of the war and never had time or enough fuel to complete their training programs. These boats remained in German harbours up until April/May 1945, when most were taken out to sea by skeleton crews and scuttled to prevent the allies capturing them. The boats that were captured were taken by the Allies to Loch Ryan in Scotland and Lisahally in Ireland. Some were presented to allied navies for commissioning or experiments, but the majority of captured U-boats were towed out to sea in the autumn of 1945 and sunk by gunfire in Operation Deadlight.
German submarine U-107 (1940) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBetween January 1941 and August 1944, it [U-107] sailed on 16 active patrols at a time when a U-boat averaged a lifespan of seven to 10 patrols.

Thats what US navy report saysChina's Type 094 will only get noisy when it sails over 30 knots, while sailing about 20 knots won't get noisy at all.
Tnx I corrected.BTW, the pic of the Type 094 is in fact the Type 092.
