  1. Was it so wide so it could incl a tennis court for the officers?

  2. No, it's that wide so it will sit upright on the ocean floor to make sure the deep-sea rescue pod can attach. It's Russian. You KNOW it will meet with disaster.

  3. It's that wide because it has two pressure hulls side by side. Also, the perspective of the photo makes it look a lot shorter than it really is.

  4. K-150 Oscar class, as far as I can find out, has an inner pressure hull and outer hydronamic hull. Two pressure hulls side by side would be a technical tour-de-force begging for disaster.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Disassembling_of_a_Soviet_submarine.jpg

  5. Oscar II SSGN with 24 cruise missles.
    Two pressure hulls: one inner pressure hull, one outer hydrodynamic hull. The launchers are between the two hulls.
    Not a sub to be taken lightly.
