Fire underwater is one of the worst things that can happen. Since this vessel is top-secret we (the wide public) will know what happened only some 30+ years later. And I cannot blame anyone for that - that's natural flow of things considering uniqueness and character of work of that craft. To say more - as a civil person I don't really need to know that. But what I want to be sure of - is that they had thoroughly investigated the calamity and that cadets at Navy Schools will be studying this case along with others. And of course I feel very sorry for loved ones and relatives of fourteen good guys who are on eternal patrol from now on: sadly their third toast would have a very personal sense (((

I’m getting reports the submarine involved Is a mini submarine of the losharik class
|
So do our mass media say
|
Yes, seems like it is AS 12 'Losharik' (Project 1083 1), its 'mothership' is a former Delta III with a changed back, maybe the 'Lorenburg'.
https://news.usni.org/2019/07/02/14-...lear-submarine Capable to dive to 6000 meters, due to its interior pressure-resistent ball design ('losharik' is a russian cartoon horse consisting of balls) A terrible accident, feeling sorry for the sailors and their families. |
True it is sad ... Will certainly pray for them, but my hope is for any survivor's :yep:
Look fwd to more information ... She must have surfaced or there wouldn't be anything left to count. |
Can't imagine how terrifying a fire inside a submarine would be.
Thoughts for the families. |
It could have been fire supression that hit them.

article in the Moscow times on what is known so far, apparently only 4-5 survivors:

Great loss of top-officers and one-of-a-kind specialists. Seven Capitains of first Rank, two Heroes of Russia cavaliers. They've managed to throw out civil specialist from the burning compartment saving his life before self-locking in it. Somehow like in "72 meters" movie..

New Details On Russian Submarine Fire Emerge Along With An Intriguing Schematic (Updated)

When they said the fire was in the engine room my first thoughts were, "Oh it must be a conventional submarine", but it in fact just a modified Oscar class nuclear submarine with a 100' section added in for her special underwater operations.
Catfish reported that she could dive to 6,000 meters ... I doubt that perhaps the mini sub she carried could dive that far. :yep: |
