Default 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:

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)

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
