I think that's damaged beyond repair.

I hope there were no parts of the sailors in it anymore.

I think "sunk" would be a better term

Did they find evidence to confirm the H2O2 theory in the end?

What compartments are we looking at?It would be interesting to do a before and after comparison.

Gave me the shivers that. I'm guessing the foamy bit is actually the missile tubes, if so, then is that an automatic feature? If there is an emergency the missile tubes are flooded with foam to prevent a fire and missile fuel explosion ala K-219? If so it's a good idea

I understood that they had confirmed a fuel leak in a Type 65 high test peroxide (HTP) 650mm torpedo was the cause of at least the initial explosion. I assume the second explosion was something set off by that - another torpedo?

Yeah, the primary theory for the first explosion was that it happened because of the Hydrogen-Peroxide fuel of the Torpedo (Using this stuff was very irresponsible of the Russians, considering what happened to HMS Sidon), the second explosion was most likely the other Torpedoes in the tube
