Never thought of it that way. The Akula was the biggest until the Typhoon came along. (I think I have that right) I always just assumed that it was named for a shark because it was deadly.
Dear CrazyIvan,
I see. Typhoon is also the name for a fighter aircraft.
By the way, how does one post pictures at Free Republic??
Best regards.

“Shark is the largest of the fish. Is the Russian sub marine the largest?
