And long and very good article* about new especialy big Ocean Going SSK, can't copy they precise ...in more French and i buy it all the months from the 1st but really so interesting read it.

Later i do comparison mainly fo armament, combat capacity my fav matter :) with a comparison with nuclear sub' s for see better the difference.
