Description
Ported to OBJ from the model provided to us by our friends over at the Pack 3D website. Original is from Naval War: Arctic Circle (NWAC) by Paradox Interactive. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.

The fielding of Akula in 1983 by the Soviet Navy gave NATO and the West quite the shock, according to noted naval historian Norman Polman (Guide to the Soviet Navy). To paraphrase him, they hadn't expected the Soviets to field a nuclear powered attack submarine (SSN) this advanced for another decade. That they did, however, and they eventually went on to build fifteen of them in three distinct flavors (Akula I-III), with work slowed significantly (but not stopped) on an additional five due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in 1991. It was the successor to the prolific Victor class and a more affordable alternative to the cost-prohibitive experimental Sierra class. The Russian Federation, successor to the former Soviet Union, intends to complete the remaining five Akulas provided the necessary funding can be obtained. Akula was the most advanced attack submarines made by the former Soviet Union, and is considered the equal of even better in certain aspects than the later improved versions of the famed "688 boat" Los Angeles class attack submarines of the United States Navy (USN). They are normally deployed as far forward of their home bases as possible (lurking off of either coast of the United States, for example), in order to be ready to attack any enemy vessels sailing from their home ports in a wartime situation. Four of the oldest Akula Is were decommissioned and scrapped in the early 1990s. The remaining eleven Akulas regardless of built group officially remain in commission as I write this (early 2021), although only a few of them are operational at any given time. For example, as of the end of 2019 only two were still active, while the rest were "laid up for repair and refitting." To find out more about the Soviet Akula class submarine, follow the link below:

This is a straight port of the original model, with no changes by me.

This is not my model. All I did was port and adapt it for use with the common OBJ model format. Please credit Paradox Interactive for the original. You do not have to credit me for my part.
