[edit] PROPULSION?

Propulsion and power: 2 turboreductors groups (10 MW propulsion alternator feeding electric engines) Nuclear reactor K15, 150 MW 2 emergency electric engines

Are you sure about the power of a K15 reactor? With such a power the submarine should reach more, much more than 40 knots...

Moreover according to my sources a K15 reactor on Le Triumphant or on Charles de Gaulles has a power of only 30 MW (2nd April 2008 by Mario) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.201.51.176 (talk) 20:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
