LMAO Own it, love it, pwned by it! Something that I've always liked about certain Russian subs are the windows(?) in the conning tower. Always wondered if you could kick back in there and have a coffee, and gaze into the sea. That would be cool.

Gaze into the sea?
Unless you're wearing diving equipment, no. The upper part of the conning tower is flooded when the submarine is submerged. The windows are just meant to protect the crew on deck from weather during surface maneuvers.

That explains why I got drenched.
Someone posted pictures of their visit to the Submarine Command Museum, down in GT, and there was a post in there that read something like... "If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if we could look through the windows while we were submerged..."

I guess you guys know that the Russian B-39 is scheduled to become a shallow water diving reef sometime before the end of 2012?

D'oh didn't know that! Why are they sinking it? I never got the full story why Seattle got rid of it. Vancouver couldn't keep because of money reasons. I was under the impression Seattle sold it because of safety issues(?) So why is the current owner getting rid of it?

All I know is that the San Diego Maritime Museum was only obligated to keep the B-39 through 2011.
Then I read this article the other day: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2...illos-galleon/ "Plans call for the ship to open as a paid attraction in 2012, when it joins the museum's other ships at the nearby embarcadero. It'll take the spot now occupied by B-39, a Soviet submarine that will be turned into an offshore diving reef." Apparently, SDMM will keep the B-39 only as long as they are obligated and then sink her.

Well all ships are going to die one day shame really cause that is probably the closest your going to get to things from the cold war from russia, she is also one of only a handful of foxtrots left even india no longer has them in active service.
Its going to cost them more than twice what they paid for it anyway the amount of asbestos and other gump in those things.

B-39 is relatively "young" boat. It was launched in 1967, the first submarine of project 641 (B-94) begins to build in 1957 for a while I was in the B-94 ...
