The Oscar class and Kursk disaster
Just finished writing this new article regarding the project 949 series (NATO Oscar class) submarines.
I focus on the details of the boats their weapons, sensors and power plant, I also detail the current list of boats and their status and bring you a couple of images not really seen in the west. I also write about the tragic loss of the Kursk which sank in August 2000. Inside the article I have finally been able to put together the pictures from inside the Kursk after she was raised. A source had given these images to me some time ago and I had just saved them but now you can see inside the submarine after she was raised. Check it out and let me know what you think https://www.navygeneralboard.com/articles/

Extensive research was done before writing this, obviously, and both knowledge and enthusiasm for the matter is on display. Plenty of photographic material. Reading it was time well spend. Unfortunately I cannot comment much on the content because I am not familiar with the matter. Nevertheless, thanks! Interesting to learn this overview about the whole story.

I remember a two-part series on H2(I think it was) Remember it was a detective job going through the evidence towards the incident that happened on Kursk.

very interesting read.
There were always rumours that the Kursk may have had a collision with a U.S. sub and that this may have contributed to the accident. Has anyone ever looked into that aspect?
