I never expected to see a swimming pool inside a submarine!

IIRC there was a documentary about this on Brit tv a couple of years ago...warts and all.

Interesting.

I think the Oscar IIs have a sauna on them as well, not sure though.

This information just coming in today. I wondered how many Typhoon's were left, because I heard they were going to keep two of them.

No more Typhoons ... should we trust them?

The decision, which was disclosed by military sources in the daily Izvestia newspaper, marks the end of an era that will see the three remaining Typhoon class submarines that remain in service in Russia's Northern Fleet cut up and turned into scrap metal by 2014.

The giant Typhoon-class submarine was a fixture of the Cold War and at 562 feet long and 80 foot wide was the biggest submarine ever built.

Typhoons are outdated, the last two were only kept as missile testing platforms really. The Delta IVs and the Boreis are the main SSBNs in the Russian fleet now. I imagine the Delta IIIs that are in the fleet will probably be going too as more Boreis come on line, but the Deltas are a bit cheaper to maintain than the collossal Typhoons.

I would hope that one Typhoon would be preserved in a park or something, but I don't think that'll happen. There was idle talk of one being used as a cargo vessel years ago, but that fell through.
