Why can't Americans make fat subs?
We can.

thats a Hoagie.

Shut the fuck up you communist.

Big usually means inferior tech.

The Queen Elizabeth Super Carrier is far better technologically compared to the Nimitz and the new American carrier that I forgot the name of, I believe it's Fjord.

It's a Hero

Norwegian here. That thing is too big for our fjords

Typhoon SSBNs are some of the most aesthetic things the human race has ever put to sea. Burger subs are frumpy and career oriented, Russian ones are beautiful and also choke you to death in your sleep.

Best part of this post is that someone will give it a serious reply.
>>34530043
sure thing ramp boy
>>34530330
The Queen Elizabeth ramps are so technologically superior that Americans can't even copy it and just use old Steam Catapult technology. And the lower payloads are not a problem since it is far more accurate and deadly than the heavier American counterpart.
The Queen Elizabeth is made in the same vein as the far more sophisticated Chinese Liaoning Super Carrier.

The QEs are glorified Wasps.

Yeah but were gonna go digital now, it's like super modern and shit
>>34529625
It's a grinder
>>34532123
Digital carrier, will it be as good as digital camo?
>>34532288
This.
>>34529625
Its a big fuckin' samwich
>>34529601
because we didn't need to make our SSBN launched missiles as big as the commies did.
>>34529601
They can, they choose not to. It's like asking why America doesn't have fast attack missile boats. It's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of doctrine.
Russia needs fuckhuge submarines because that's their entire blue water navy, practically. They can't take a surface fight with the US so they invested in large, advanced submarines. This isn't "lol russia btfo xD", it's actually the right thing for their strategic situation

neither of those have the Kuznetsov's ability to project a tactical smokescreen. Combined with its advanced ramp technology, the Kuznetsov has truly unparalleled offensive and defensive capabilities.

Dammit you reminded me I was hungry.
>>34529601
Shitposting aside, there are two main reasons russian subs tend to be thicc compared to US subs.
>beam to length ratio
>double hull design
Those apparently overly bulbous shapes are actually surprisingly hydrodynamic
Typhoons are considerably shittier than Ohio class boomers so maybe thats why
