Sunburn:
Was there are a reason you did not include the Akula Class?
And one other thought: I remember at Chicago's Navy pier, a kid, not me, asked a Navy CPO from a Perry Class Frigate if he was concerned about 'Alfas'. His answer was that they were fast, but an Alfa was not going to outrun a helo. So, as noisy as an Alfa was (remembering sonar performance was poorer back then), a helo or an ASW plane is way faster and with good tracking information, even the speed of the Alfa is not enough to save them.
I would almost say that an Alfa's greater strength is its deep diving ability.
I guess my thought is that an Alfa's capabilities should be respected, but it is not really a terror. I might be more frightened of a Tango on ultraquiet than an Alfa...
Just my opinion on the subject.
