That would be great. Yet another reason to visit Saint Petersburg.

And that’s an odd thing to lie about. Theres no real purpose to it. The Alfa’s have all been long decommissioned, so it’s not operational security, and if it were usually nations go to lengths to hide capabilities. Plus the Sierra class seem built at almost the same time as the Alfa, and also with a titanium hull seem to have a similar deep diving capability. As well it would have been easy for the US navy to discredit, since Captain Kolyada says he used his depth to evade an American submarine on a few occasions.

But that’s neither here nor there. It’s still a remarkable book.
