A detailed model of the Soviet Akula Class submarine is provided, complete with comprehensive texture sets that include diffuse maps. The maximum dimension of these textures is 2048 pixels. Textures are included to ensure an authentic representation of the vessel, including a range of detailed maps that provide depth and realism. History reveals that the Akula Class is a nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) first deployed by the Soviet Navy in 1986. Notably, this class is sometimes misidentified as the "Bars" Class, which refers to one of its members. It's worth mentioning that the Akula designation is actually assigned by NATO to the Typhoon Class ballistic missile submarines. There are three distinct sub-classes or flights within the Shchuka fleet: the original seven "Akula I" submarines built between 1982 and 1986, five "Improved Akula" submarines constructed from 1986 to 1991, and four "Akula II" submarines built between 1991. However, this classification is disputed among authoritative sources. The Akula incorporates a double hull system that significantly enhances its strength reserve and allows it to dive deeper than any other modern SSN. Additionally, the Akula Class is renowned for being one of the quietest Russian nuclear attack submarines; its noise level is comparable to early versions of the American Los Angeles class. A distinctive feature on top of the Akula's rudder houses its towed sonar array when it is retracted into a "bulb" or "can." All Akulas are equipped with four 533 mm torpedo tubes that can use Type 53 torpedoes or the SS-N-15 Starfish missile, and four 650 mm torpedo tubes capable of firing Type 65 torpedoes or the SS-N-16 Stallion.
