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.

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.

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.

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

The submarine in my bathtub is much better

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

And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?' Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant.
