"Today the largest submarine in the world is Russia's mighty Typhoon Class ballistic missile sub. It's massive, but it could be dwarfed if Russian engineers get their way. A ginormous undersea tanker called the Pilgrim has been proposed to transport liquid natural gas (LNG) in the Arctic. Submarine tankers would literally slip under the ice. St. Petersburg-based Malachite Design Bureau has unveiled a design for a massive submarine capable of carrying 170,000 to 180,000 tons at a time. That is far in excess of the volume of any previous submarine. At 1,180 feet long and 230 feet across the submarine tanker would dwarf the Typhoon. The latter is around half the length at 574 feet and one third the width at 75 feet. So in terms of volume it will be more than six times the size of the Typhoon…" link

Russian engineers building a submarine tanker. What could possibly go wrong? |

No oxygen under water, so no explosion. |

"Russian engineers building a submarine tanker" to travel under Arctic ice! Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? |

What benefit is there in having your tanker underwater? |

"What could possibly go wrong?". Well, the Kursk seems to point the way to the answer to that question, along with a lot of others made by Russia, the USA, and others. No need to worry about icebergs, or sheet ice when below the surface in the Arctic. |

However there usually is oxygen in the submarine |
