They are the fourth largest class of submarines in terms of displacement and length. Only the Typhoon class Soviet/Russian submarines, the American Ohio class ballistic missile submarines and the Russian Borei class submarines are larger.

In 1982 an updated and larger version (Project 949A) replaced the earlier version. In total thirteen submarines were constructed. In the financial problems that followed the fall of the Soviet Union the Oscar class was prioritized by the Russian navy and when many older submarines classes were retired the Oscar class remained active in both the Northern and Pacific fleets. In 2011, five submarines are currently active with several more in reserve or waiting for repairs.

They were K-525 laid down in 1975 and K-206 laid down in 1979. Both were decommissioned in 1996 [2] and scrapped in 2004. [3] [edit ]Project 949A Antey Project 949A Eleven Project 949A Antey submarines were completed at Severodvinsk . Five were assigned to the Soviet Northern Fleet :At one stage it had been planned to develop a new fourth-generation follow-on to the Project 949A, but this plan was later scrapped. [4] The external differences between the two classes were that the 949A class is about 10 metres longer than its predecessor (~154 metres rather than 143), providing space for improved electronics and possibly quieter propulsion. It also has a larger fin, and a seven-bladed propeller instead of a four-bladed one. [5] Like all post-World War II Soviet des... read more
