Product Description
This book is intended to be an illustrated view to a few of Russia's modern submarines. It offers looks not available anywhere else of the experimental Beluga, with its body of revolution design. The Alfa, which turned the western world on end with its unexpected arrival on the scene, is shown closely for the first time in a book, out of the water in dry dock photographs revealing delightful detail. The Akula, the modern day workhorse of the Russian Navy, and the immense Typhoon are also shown. Both of which have an enormous presence wherever they are seen. Many of the photographs inside the book are dry dock pictures.
