Shouldn't they be named Vodka class submarine. I mean vodka is Russian and whiskey is Anglo based. Nejee16 (talk) 03:15, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

It's from the NATO phonetic alphabet for "W", actually... Same reason white phosphorous rounds are known as "Willie Pete" (from the U.S. Army's before that). TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 03:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
