Default Saluting the Kursk

Five years ago today. We haven't forgotten.

Rest in the arms of angels.

Good post, Lehmann.

Rest in peace, men of the Kursk and all the other boats that never surfaced again.

Default And

And almost lost seven more. This time at least they quickly accepted help. Good thing, without it those would have been seven dead submariners.

Russia has also just ordered two of the Zodiac subs that the UK used to save them. Guess they learned the hard way...

My crew had a 1 minute salute on deck......
May the brave souls rest in peace and may God protect any submarine crew from having something like that happen.
