#1 And right now the USN is listening to the sound of the Nahang's captain chewing his cornflakes.

#2 oh this is about as scary as the over hyped kilo class subs, wonder how many hours it'll take for us to find and track it from when it was launched - i'd take a guess at half an hour or so. lol 1.2 million hours of work put into it eh - only take about 10 mins to sink too!

#5 But will Kouchaki be demoted for failing to mention Allan's input into the project?

#6 I'm sure the same level high tech - stealth designs used were similar to their buildings designed by their structural engineers....chosen by their faith and loyalty rather than competence....
#7 Not to be a killjoy, but one of these loaded with a crude, first-generation Iranian nuke, snuck into the harbor in Dubai, could truly ruin someone's day.

#9 The've been running things of this sort for years.
Only news is they copied the designs well enough to do one on their own.
They have yet to show they can maintain these things in seaworthy condition for any amount of time.
Typicallyt hey cannot - they can "surge" to get it ready with extra effort, but thats a telltale that they're up to something, since they cannot maintain it in that state for long.
Logistics: its what sets apart the pros from the wannabees.

#13 Does the Iranian Navy ever go to sea, let alone their submarine fleet?
I don't know, but I do know that without constant seagoing, a Navy is worthless.

#16 rofl, 24 hour pinging would really screw the crews heads up,be like someone ringing your doorbell every 10 seconds! Perhaps we could make a musical 'pinging tune' ,hmm i'm thinking a barny the dinosoar ping tune and perhaps some evil western pop music. suppose they have to stop to pray every hour or so anyway which isnt to good for combat - i remeber reading about Saudi AWACS crews that used to stop everything they were meant to be doing like reading sht from the radar and the pilots would switch to auto pilot and fckin prey for 10 mins! hahaha

#18 Thanks for the great link, Carl! I can't believe I forgot so much about that episode... I wasn't as news-aware then though.
And a big thanks to Mr. Gore for the Internet!

#25 The Japanese lost a couple of this design outside Pearl about 65 years ago. Never had a chance.

#26 Its design and construction involved 220 experts, and 1.2 million hours of scientific and industrial work.
Maybe. Likely it's an adaptation of an existing design. There were reports the new sub resembles the Nork SANGO-class sub here. It also has some of the physical features of the KILO class. Odds are some of those experts are expatriates.

#27 Re #23: Heh, mojo, my thoughts exactly. This little toy is going out on a mission some day soon, never to be heard from again. This little toy and the mobile Shahab 3 missiles and President Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will all be history within a half hour span.

#28 If Iranian sailors could float around for 10 days before the Navy stumbled upon them, who's to say they haven't managed to export these baby subs under our noses to where they could be used against us, in say Lake Michigan? Saddam had a little sub to putter down river, that even had an escape hatch and could launch from a yacht. Never trust them and expect the worst case scenario.

#30 Oh, dear. I almost fell off my chair, Old Spook. Not at all what I was expecting.
Have I mentioned how comforting I find it that you poke your head periodically? :-)
