Nice photos!

I can see why she doesn't go to sea anymore, the rust around the conning tower shows why!

I-25 · 10-09-07, 08:01 PM

Ahh the beluga. one of my all time favorites. a beautiful sub. to bad it went to rust

Kapitan · 10-10-07, 04:55 AM

Well thats what you get. How dare you sleep!! :p

Now upon futher review of that pic I have another question, WTF is THAT THING parked next pier up from the Kilo, docked next to the Julliet SSG?

(Make sure to check out both the Russian and English sections they have diffrent photos!)

Kapitan · 10-10-07, 05:54 PM

Think that may be the accomadation ship i know that had a few converted hulks made up to house sailors, but im not 100% on that.

Sea Demon · 10-10-07, 05:57 PM

Just out of curiousity, was this submarine always attached to Sevastopol?

It was indeed a very unique looking submarine.

I-25 · 10-10-07, 07:07 PM

correct me if im wrong (yes you kapitan) but i belevie that the sub was built at leningrad but was assinged to the black sea fleet (sevastepol). it was only used as a trials sub and i dont think it was armed. so yes Sevastepol/Balacalva was its only homeport. (Balaclava being the "navy" docks/sub bunker across town towards the south)

Kapitan · 10-11-07, 01:48 AM

Yes it was only based at sevstopol built not only to test new equipment but also doubled up as a training vessel.
