Another Russian submarine fire.

Wow.. the latest pictures tell the story.

The front Subsim page has the artcicle. Here is the link: http://www.barentsobserver.com/subma...663-58932.html

The blogger who posted the pictures said it was in the torpedo room. I have to disagree with him. It looks like there was a large hole cut in the forward outer hull into the wet space were the sonar arrray is housed.

Now the news statement about needed a new hydrophone array makes sense.

It also makes sense that they could partially submerge the hull. If the forward compartment was open and they flooded it, that boat would be razar blade fodder now. Talk about flooding...
