Yeap, definitely a sub there!

Russian I'd say, possibly Foxtrot class which were the largest diesel-electric subs, 3 engines, she could even be "Scorpion" judging by the colour of the white paint.

It's funny that modern cruise ships, although much bigger, don't look anything like as impressive as the traditional liners.
