Cool video about the only nuke sub to ever sink an enemy warship.

Stuart Prebbles book is well worth a read and cheap as chips varying between $1 and up to $9.

On topic if we could all be so kind, or is it a fact the submarine in the picture was the first?

I don't recall Pskov sinking any enemy warships, nor Nizhniy Novgorod.

Good boats though, the Sierra IIs.

It didn't sink any per say, but Baton Rouge got scrapped after coliding with it. Hence why the crews display their kill count as 1 :P

Nice try but a ship that makes it back to port can't be claimed as sunk.

Would a ship that limps to port but sinks there and blocks it count as a double kill

No, just well placed.

Not 'Conquered' then.

Uh, HMS Conqueror sunk not one, but three ships on her career...

(And I am not referring to any SINKEX)

Puzzled?

I also disagree with your sub counting, but for a different reason. Did the ship it collided with count as an "enemy"? I took the original post to mean an intentional sinking, and with weapons fired in anger. That said, I do see your point, and they can wear their "1" with pride.
