You might want to read this article... Titled...

"Sensitivity of Satellite Altimetry Data Assimilation on a Naval Anti- Submarine Warfare Weapon System"

http://www.stormingmedia.us/73/7327/A732724.html

And in particular the part that reads..."The MODAS fields differ in that one uses altimeter data assimilated from three satellites..."

If you want to read the rest it will cost you $25.

About Russian Subs....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_K-278

Read the part about...

"Evgeniy Dmitrievich Chernov, was made a Hero of the Soviet Union for diving to a depth of more than 1300 meters (4265 feet)."

And..."one 190 MW OK-650 b-3 pressurised water reactor, two 45000 shp steam turbines, one shaft"

And that sub was launched way back in 1983. I can only assume they have made more powerful subs since then?

I'd like to know the specs for this puppy...
