Russia's Only Papa-class Submarine: One-of-a-Kind & Built for Speed
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, * Speed has often held a mixed appeal in submarine warfare.

This means, first and foremost, a revival of the American model and the restoration of our nation as a nation of builders and creators, not globalist speculators and liberal drug pushers.
