The Typhoon class submarine is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s. With a maximum displacement of 26,000 tonnes (26,000 long tons), Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built. The source of the NATO reporting name remains unclear, although it is often claimed to be related to the use of the word “typhoon” (??????) by Leonid Brezhnev in a 1974 speech while describing a new type of nuclear ballistic missile submarine. In its day it was one of the most feared weapons of mass destruction ever made. Although technically able to successfully deploy their long-range nuclear missiles while moored at their docks,^[6] Soviet doctrine for these vessels was to have them attack North America while submerged under the arctic circle, avoiding the traversal of the GIUK gap to remain safe from enemy attack submarines and anti-submarine forces. The cost of operations for the Typhoon submarines was so high that the Russian Navy retired all but one of them^[6] in favor of older Delta class SSBNs after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
