Shoot-out on nuclear-powered submarine

Part of: Northern Fleet accidents and incidents

Eight sailors were shot dead on board a nuclear-powered Akula-class submarine moored at a naval base in Skalisty, Kola Peninsula. The incident occurred at 3:30 a.m. Moscow time today. The 18-year-old sailor barricaded himself in one of the submarine compartments after shooting eight crew mates. The commander of the Russian Navy, Admiral first name Kuroedov, and the commander of the Northern Fleet first name Yerofeev are now at the site of the incident, which remained unresolved at the time of writing.

11/09-1998
Tonight, at 3:30 a.m. Moscow time, a sailor shot eight fellow crew members and then barricaded himself in one of the submarine’s compartments. The incident started when the sailor, who was on duty in the aft part of the Akula-class submarine, started a quarrel with a crew colleague.

The sailor resolved the dispute by shooting his colleague with his Kalashnikov. He then went inside the submarine and killed seven other sailors, all conscripts, in their sleep.

The sailor, Aleksandr Kyzminikh, is an 18-year-old draftee from St. Petersburg. He is serving his two-year obligatory military service.

Happens on both sides. Not long after I got out there was a A-gang nub field daying in shaft alley next to the stern planes ram. Ended up with a crushed pelvis and bleed to death before the chopper made it to shore.

When I was on the Ethan Allen SSBN 608 we hit something while just making 3 or 4 kts at 200'.

No contacts, no biological noises in the area, nothing, but quiet.

The noise started on the portside while I was on the head with my back to the noise. I heard it coming, by the time it reached my particluar spot in the crews quarters head I had already put on my poopy suit (now I know why they call it a poopy suit) and made a run for sonar.

I opened the door and they all looked at me really funny ... seems the sonar supervisor was resting and didn't like the sound of a big reel tape recorder going around and around, but they did manage to catch enough of the sound that it was sent onto Washington as soon as we came back off patrol.

They sent down a diver as soon as we got back to Rota. I just happened to be on topside watch when they did it.

I walked back and asked if they saw anything. He said, "yep, a great big scratch on the port side ... something big hit you guys"

No informationis available when your in port and when we came back three months later the only explanation we got from the spooks that analyize these things is that it was own ships noise.

Sailors are pretty good at figuring things out for themselves however and our best guess is some ship left over from WWII is half bubbled up with dogged hatches and floating around at two hundred feet some where in the Med around Sicily.

We had one of those too. I remember I was in the laundry room doing my laundry when the boat just started to shake like we were doing a crashback. Nobody ever did figure out what it was.

I wonder if one of Ivan's boats reported hitting something similar round about that time and area...
