And one other thing is that diesels are quite slow running on their electric engines, also requires a lot of maintenance. Marami neto is russia and china i think romeo class ata. The akula 2 is also a formidable attack sub kaso talagang advance lang ang LA and improve LA class 688 subs. I guess dedecommision na rin yung mga LA class nakalimutan ko lang kung ano class. sayang yung seawolf class designed as a boomer (missile sub) kaya lang tapos na cold war so not much use for boomers right now. Pero matindi talaga yung sonar rig nya and also yung propulsion system ultra quiet.

Thanks for pointing out the slowness of those subs.

The Romeo class is obsolete!!! Heck, para lang nag target shooting ang mga Kano! AFAIK - WWII pa yung design ng Romeo. Sa Russia, for training na lang ito.

For the LA class, may mga na decommission na ilan. Pero may move to just recondition the existing subs to extend its life. Virginia class ang latest, parang pinaghalong LA & Seawolf class although medyo mabagal ang deployment nito (due to budget reasons) - kaya extended ang LA class.

Btw, Seawolf class ay hindi boomer (SSN lang siya). SSBN (b for ballistic) yung boomers... maraming class yan...
