Echo class submarine

From Freepedia

Echo class is the NATO reporting name assigned to the submarines created by six projects of the Soviet Navy. Echos are nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines, which are known in the Soviet and Russian Navies as Podvodnaya Lodka Atomnaya Raketnaya Krylataya (PLARK). (The United States Navy gives them the hull classification symbol SSGN.)

Projects 659 and 659T are known as the "Echo-I" class and projects 675, 675M, 675MU, and 675MKV are designated the "Echo-II" class. All six are externally very similar; Echo-IIs are about ten feet longer than Echo-Is.

All are decommissioned and laid up at various sites awaiting disposal.
