Writing a novel on Imp. Kilos, need some sources
Hello guys,
I've been for some time now set on writing a novel centered on those sweet 636's, and although I collected a (for my humble standards) wealth of info, I'm still in need of help. I'm looking basically for two things: a "generic" crew manifest (well, at least a list that shows how the crew is organised in a Kilo), something similar to this: http://www.russialink.org.uk/kursk/crew-eng.htm And well, a floorplan, if they are available at all...I found very nice cutouts such as this one: http://media.defenceindustrydaily.co...Cutaway_lg.jpg but they don't really show much detail, or how is the kitchen (does it has a "downstairs" pantry like the Agosta class??), how many crew cabins, etc I've been mostly relaying on some excellent video material such as the RT's "Baltic Fleet" (the sub is a 877 kilo, not the newer 636) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...8OcjUpxkFGIDeg And a couple of indian documentaries on the "Sindughosh class" btw, those sindugosh look ancient The indian docus show areas I am very interested into, like as i said the kitchen area, corridors, etc, but I need some more detailed layout. After almost giving up I thought that if I needed something as specialised as this, I might as well ask the pro's , and when it gets to submarines it doesn't get better than Subsim. If you would be kind enough to support this inexperienced Tom Clancy european wanabee I'll be infinitely grateful. P.S: Any kind of material is welcomed, books (are there any novels set in a Kilo? would love to know, couldn't find any myself), films, anything really that shows the interior in any detail |

i can tell you everything is on one level in a Kilo yes they do have spaces under the floor the batteries are in the front and rear of the submarine under the floor and can be accessed by panels in the floor, whats more the pantry is on the same level as the galley.
You will find cut away's and drawings hard to find these submarines are still active and still being built and the older ones differ from the new ones in some cases considerable especially export models.
