Talk:Romeo-class submarine

(First comments)
Additional information added for Type 033, 035, and 039. Adeptitus 08:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The 039/039G Song has absolutely nothing to do with the Romeo or the 033/035. The Song is a completely new design with very different hull shape, much bigger in size, different missions, and different design philosophy. Qgyu 08:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

560 submarines?
The article presently claims that out of a planned 560 submarines, 20 were constructed. I don't think that can be correct at all, does the source say 560 or 56?2/\/\flaviu5 (talk) 03:06, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Dubious
The article claims the Romeo's were developed from the German Type XXI U-boat. That seems a bit thin; the Soviets may have used captured German technology to inform their immediate post-war designs (the Whiskey and Zulu classes) but the Romeo's were a development of them, not some 15-year-old WWII stuff. Does anyone have a citation for this claim? Xyl 54 (talk) 23:37, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Split
This page seems to be about two different subjects; the Soviet Romeo class and a related but different Chinese submarine class. They really should be on separate pages; if there are no objections I'll move the stuff on the Chinese Type 033 submarines and their derivatives to its own page.

Dubious, again
I've re-written the introduction to remove the (rather dubious) suggestion that the 633 Romeo submarine was based on the German Type XXI. It seems I flagged this as dubious a while ago, but the tag seems to have disappeared without any attempt to reply, or find a source to support the contention. So I have gone ahead and taken it out, for the reasons already stated. I trust everyone is OK with that. Xyl 54 (talk) 22:34, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Slava class
If the information on the new article can be sourced, it could be useful in a subsection in the main article. &#124; Naypta✉ opened his mouth at 09:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Romeo Class Submarines in the Egyptian navy
The article on List of ships of the Egyptian Navy does not list the Romeo Class submarines. SO I'd asssum they are decomissioned. Wfoj3 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
