No offense, but thats plain wrong. The Soviet subs compared to American subs pretty much sucked. Soviet subs were loud. The November class lacked sufficient radiation shielding. The Akulas I think can go really fast, but make a bucketload of noise. Their boomers were the same way until recently. Soviet electronics were horrid, American electronic systems were far ahead (giving better sonar abilities to the US).
Now, the Soviets did have a few good ones, but the Los Angelos class (and more recently, SeaWolf, even though only 3) and Ohio class blow the heck outta anything in the water today.
