Nice article, Kap, and nice oictures. Never saw them in such detail before. And why do these Russian subs always look so rotten even when still being in service?


You are a Brit, arent you? How comes you served on a Polish boat? Some exchange training program?

Thanks Skybird

You want to see ours when they come into dry dock after a few years a float, the scum ring and growth is normal, more so in the salty cool waters of the Baltic and Northern areas, the Black sea has a high salinity rate as well so corrosion is also a lot worse in these areas.

I am a Brit yes I currently live in Canada, my day job back then was logistics transport and supply chain I would conduct audits put in place all the supply chain systems and what not and during an exercise I was asked to go on the Orzel and take a look at the systems they employ in their logistics, how they handle food fuels munitions etc.

Its quite a common thing been on various ships and subs from various navies doing the same thing, basically its there to oversee the employment of procedures and to see if there is a more efficient and effective way.
