Identify this sub...
 

Ok... I know what it is, question is: do you?

I'm going to be cheeky here and say Project 705K...primarily because that's what's on the url. :hmmm:

Bow looks all wrong but that could just be camouflage against western intel.

Well I can't identify it outright but I can tell you what I see in the picture. First thing is the vessel is being launched. Next is the Russian lettering/words on the bow. The sail is of a Sierra class look. It's not very large leading me to believe that it's an attack sub. The unusual bow shape is confusing, but I believe that it may be part of the launching and not part of the boat. I'll take a stab here anyways and say it's a Sierra.

Edit: never mind, my guess is wrong. I found the source page for the pics.

Kind of looks like K-27 to me, which was the sole Project 645 boat, a lengthed version of the November with a bulbous sonar bow and taller fairwater. The stubby rudder is a bit of a give-away, too...just don't quote me on this!

Nope not the K-27

Oberon got it dead on the money, its an Alfa disguised.

ETR3(SS) care to post a link to that source you found? Curious if its the same as mine.

Here ya go. http://www.atrinaflot.narod.ru/1_sub...k/0_705k_1.htm

Thanks.

Yea they say it was not effective. A friend totally agrees with that! He said he never saw any photos like that published in regards to the Alfa so it was a total failure. :03:

Ooooh, very nice source there...very nice indeed :yeah:

The submarine in my bathtub is much better :smug:

I presume your bath-tub submarine doesn't suffer from the reactor coolant solidifying then? :hmmm:

I identify this submarine as........ugly. lol
