They did a remake so i understand but I haven't seen it yet. Don't think I will though as it was a pretty depressing experience watching the original.

Thanks Kapitan, it would be very nice if you would share more of your insight.
By myself I am also very interested in soviet/russian subs. It is quite interesting how they experimented with different hull, sail designs, different reactor types and automation. Sometimes they really pushed their designs beyond anything imaginable. Also already in beginning of the seventies they installed Combat Information Systems in their boats, beginning with the MVU-110 Uzel in the Tango class, the MVU-111 Akkord in the victor II and Alfa, the Almaz in the Delta I-III, the MVU-132 Omnibus starting withe the Victor III in the end of the 70s, and finaly the Charlie class also had their own Combat Information System called Brest.
Makes me wonder when the US started to install Combat Information System in their boats.
