Konashenkov said the fire had started on the wooden scaffolding and then engulfed the submarine's outer hull. Most modern submarines' outer hulls are covered with rubber to make them less noisy and more difficult for an enemy to detect.

These guys need to take some safety training.

Maybe Russia doesn't have an OSHA...

Next time, they should use TWICE the duct tape.

The Russian navy has a nasty history with fire.

Good thing she was unarmed and the fire never spread to the interior.

The damage from the fire could be so massive that the submarine would need to be scrapped, the Interfax news agency reported Friday. But Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of the nation's military industries, said after the meeting that the submarine will rejoin the navy after repairs

Quote:

An unspecified number of crew remained inside the submarine during the fire, Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement

Konashenkov's statement left it unclear whether the crew were trapped there or ordered to stay inside.
