Russia:
Because of the massive sonar array, the Yasen/Severodvinsk SSGNs have their torpedo tubes mounted amidships and below the waterline, or at least hidden under a tarp.
The Yasen class, Russian designations Project 885 Yasen and Project 885M Yasen-M (Russian: Ясень, lit. 'ash tree', NATO reporting name: Yasen), also referred to as Graney class, are series of newest nuclear-powered cruise missile submarines designed by Malakhit and being constructed by Sevmash for the Russian Navy. Based on the Akula class and Alfa class designs, the Yasen class is projected to replace Russian Navy's current Soviet-era nuclear attack submarines.
Project 885 Yasen (NATO Severodvinsk) class cruise missile submarine 'Severodvinsk' (K-560) in floating dock 'PD-50', Roslyakovo, Murmansk. Jan/Feb. 2017. Note amidship mounted #torpedo tubes.
Project 949A Antey (NATO Oscar II) 'Smolensk' (K-410)(L) & 'Voronezh' (K-119)(R) cruise missile submarines moored at Murmansk, 2016
