swimming pools? only if the reactors leaked but yes the quarters were very spacious by most standards, but you have to remember that most of that space was taken up by missile silos.
Nah, if the reactors leaked, that would be a hot tub :lol: Seriously though, I actually saw a doco on the Typhoon and it showed a bunch of sailors on board a Typhoon diving into a rather small swimming pool.
Another interesting fact is that the worlds fastest hunter killer submarine (and possibly fastest submarine period) was the Russian Alpha Class, with a top speed just shy of 50 Knotts, and with its titanium hull, it was also one of the deepist diving combat submarines ever produced.
I recall reading somewhere that the Alpha class also used a liquid metal cooled reactor, and I believe it could dive 1000m.
Funny how you mentioned the Philopines wanting to use an old Typhoon as a power station, because last I heard, one of the Kirov class battlecruisers was doing just that in a Russian naval yard, now that was an impressive vessel, too bad they're now all ridden with rust and about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, you couldn't even sell them for scrap.
