The most powerful submarine to date is the Akula (or NATO designation Typhoon) class boat, first launched in 1986 by the Russians. It has a maximum displacement of 12,770 tons submerged (for the Akula II).
Answering a most-powerful-millitary-vehicle/aircraft/ship is sometimes hard because a given piece of hardware might be longer, but lighter, etc. Certainly each piece of equipment has advantages and disadvantages over another, but, this submarine has the largest maximun load capacity. It has the greatest shaft horsepower rating, too. A link is provided below for more information.

The Typhoon class submarine is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s. With a maximum displacement of about 26,000 tonnes surfaced (about 48,000 submerged), Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built. Compare that to the small, manned submarines used for ocean exploration. Some of these submersibles weigh under a ton.
