A new article exploring the Soviet Unions first generation of SSBN the Project 658 Hotel class.
These troubled boats had numerous accidents with the lead boat K19 being dubbed Hiroshima, the K19 went on to be a Hollywood movie staring Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford

Do you have any way of getting sound clips of a Hotel submarine?
Perhaps they are declassified by now ... I heard they were easy to follow. :yep:
Must have been noisy, uh?

The movie was obviously far superior to the real thing :)

Well, i take it no one was harmed during filming.
Somehow liked the movie, despite being one of the few where no women are present, like in Das Boot or Master and Commander.. lol
re Kapitan once more a good summary, but like all your others much too short :03:

Thanks Catfish i have to limit what I write to around 1000,1500 words, I could probably hit ten times that if I wanted to but the problem is no one would read that length of material on a website.
Maybe as a book ;)
If you decide to write a book about Russian subs before, during and after WWII and up to today.
I would most likely buy a copy of that book.
