She was used mostly for training and for planing what to do for the next generation of submarines.

They did not use her for following USN FBM's on patrol in the Med they used Novembers for that duty, but from what I know they used her to intercept USN SSN's that were caught or suspected of following Russian FBM's.

Their jet fighter pilots fly by wire with the ground always in control which is why I think she was used by the Arm chair admirals to show off Russians mighty know how.

All gone now both the cold war and the men and weapons systems they designed. The Alfa is too hot with the nuclear reactor removed to be used as a musem memory.

At 44 knots you could hear one a long ways away ... not that I ever heard one lol
