Akula-class submarine
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Akula-class submarine is a class of nuclear attack submarine developed by the Soviet Union. A wrecked member of the class appears in Legendary Pictures' 2014 film Godzilla, having been sank by the male MUTO and dragged onto the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii, for its missiles to be consumed by the Titan.
Appearance
Despite being explicitly referred to as an Akula-class, the submarine in Godzilla has the appearance of a Lada-class sub. By the time it was found, the submarine had suffered heavy damage to its hull and was covered in vines. On the vessel's port side, the MUTO had torn open a hole near the missile tubes.

Godzilla (2014)
Fifty nautical miles northwest of Hawaii, an Akula-class submarine was intercepted and attacked by the male MUTO, which was immediately reported to the USS Saratoga. A U.S. Navy Special Forces team was deployed to the island of Oʻahu, where they picked up a distress signal from the sub in the jungle northwest of Diamond Head. They reached the submarine only to find it in ruin, with a pile of emptied nuclear missiles laying nearby, covered in a white, viscous secretion. The MUTO responsible was soon discovered, plucking nuclear missiles out of the vessel from a hole in its side and gulping them down. The MUTO was soon attacked by a fighter jet, causing it to drop a missile from its grasp, and ultimately motivating it to leave the wreckage behind.
Trivia
- The Akula-class submarine does not appear in Godzilla's novelization, its role instead being filled by the Borei-class sub Alexander Nevsky.
