The Akula-class submarine is a fictional unnamed Russian Akula-class submarine that appears in Legendary Pictures' 2014 film Godzilla, comprising a role which would be filled in by the real life Alexander Nevsky in the film's novelization. A nuclear submarine stationed in the North Pacific Ocean in 2014, the Akula-class submarine was attacked by the recently matured male MUTO before being dragged far inland on Hawaii for its nuclear content to be consumed by the Titan.

Appearance

Despite being explicitly referred to as an Akula-class submarine, the submarine is portrayed with the appearance of a Lada-class submarine.

By the time it was found, the submarine had suffered tremendous damage to its hull in the form of numerous dents and scratches. Perched up atop trees, the submarine naturally got covered in vines throughout its exterior. As a result of the male MUTO feeding on the submarine's radioactive material, a pile of what was presumably some of the submarine's armament was found on the jungle ground covered in a white secretion. On the vessel's port side, the MUTO had torn open a hole near the missile tubes with his jaws. In addition to the material lying on the ground, the submarine's propeller and stern were also doused in the MUTO's secretion.

History

Monsterverse

Godzilla (2014)

In 2014, around the time the male MUTO escaped its containment facility at the Janjira nuclear power plant, the Akula-class submarine was stationed somewhere in the north Pacific Ocean northwest of Hawaii.

50 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii, the male MUTO intercepted and attacked the submarine, which was immediately reported to the USS Saratoga in an intel report. Captain Russell Hampton attributed the incident to the male MUTO upon reporting it to Admiral William Stenz, who in turn told Dr. Ishiro Serizawa to emphasize the value of information regarding the creature. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy Special Forces team picked up the sub's distress signal in the jungle northwest of Diamond Head on the island of Oahu. Setting foot on the island in search of the source of the beacon, some of the soldiers questioned the necessity of having to traverse the jungle to look for the submarine, using pings provided by the Russians to locate their target. Eventually, they reached the source of the beacon only to find a pile of emptied nuclear missiles covered in a white viscous secretion. Noticing more of the secretion dripping down from above, the soldiers looked up to see a massive propeller doused in the secretion. Helicopter searchlights lit up the The Alexander Nevsky as it laid perched atop the surrounding vegetation pointing towards the sky, its damaged hull covered in vines and a four slash mark appearing towards the back of the submarine on its rear trim tank. Beside the submarine, the male MUTO was discovered, plucking out the vessel's nuclear missiles from a hole in its side and gulping them down. Following this, a fighter jet was sent to attack the creature, aggravating it into dropping a missile to the ground close to the nearby soldiers and unleashing an electromagnetic pulse. Following the jet's subsequent crash and the blackout caused by the MUTO, the Alexander Nevsky was left without further damage as the creature neared the Honolulu International Airport.

In the film's novelization, the Akula-class submarine's role is retained but given to the K-550 Alexander Nevsky in its place.
