I'm not so sure your boasting is warranted. Your statements regarding Akula vs. 688I/Seawolf is not a settled matter. In fact, I'm not convinced that the Russians have ever produced anything of the quality/sensitivity as BQQ-10 suite, BQQ-5D with WAA, and TB series towed arrays. Plus the current condition of the Russian Navy is not very impressive to say the least.
