Also measured on the other axis

I also did measure this thing, assuming it is what I think it is, ie the pressure hull cap, based on @Maikeru's measurement of the smaller hull section I get around 12.7m in diameter accounting in for the picture being at an angle which could make it appear abit larger, it could be reasonably inferred that the "cap" is somewhere around ~12m in diameter.

IMO possible hybrid hull instead of double? Also, this does give a more reliable estimate for the beam of the submarine at 12-12.5m.

On google maps you can also find a similar module (cannot tell whether it’s the same), but it comes out far short of the 12m though, more like 10m-ish.

If it would be me, I'll make this a dedicated underwater warfare sub, primary mission is to hunt Virginias and tail enemy boomers. The large displacement is for larger sonar array, electronics, large torpedo magazine with potentially larger tubes, and of course lots and lots of quietening equipment. I'd want it to be the quietest sub in the world and not worry about multirole at all. Today's Seawolf.
