Wrecked Submarines, Vladivostok, Russia
Stripped down wrecks of what appear to be Foxtrot-class submarines lie trapped in the ice outside the naval base at Vladivostok. The Foxtrot-class were diesel-electric powered submarines designed to hunt NATO vessels. The first Foxtrot-class submarine was commissioned in 1958 and could remain submerged for up to five days with a crew of 78.
Indeed these are Foxtrot class submarines they are in fact version 3 boats which were built between 1977 and 1983 and they have all now been scrapped this picture was taken in the early 2000's

I did a write up of the Foxtrot which i went to in Belgium which has since been scrapped
