The Typhoon Class submarines were built for the Soviet Navy in the 1980s to serve as strategic vessels capable of carrying and launching intercontinental ballistic missiles. They became famous thanks to their exceptional, enormous size and innovative double-hull construction. They were a key element of Soviet and later Russian nuclear deterrence doctrine. Vessels of this type have also appeared in pop culture, such as the iconic film “The Hunt for Red October.”
