Submarines of this class were actively used in reconnaissance missions, to escort aircraft carriers, and to combat enemy vessels during the technological rivalry of the Cold War era. The 688I \"Improved\" version features a modified hull and reduced noise levels, making it harder to detect. The VLS variants are equipped with vertical launch systems for Tomahawk missiles, significantly increasing the submarine’s combat capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold War, modern times (from 1976 to the present day)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional model features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe set allows you to choose one of three versions of the USS Los Angeles, provides the option to replace the standard propeller with a precise photo-etched part, and the wealth of detail brings realism to this advanced vessel.
