As retired Submariner with 20 yrs. experience, I feel it is my duty to point out two simple facts...
1. Dons picture of the reclassed
new MOSKVA Submarine Class for one, to have the bow located in what would normally be the stern is just not a good idea, I'd be jumping off the "
boat" as well!?!
That picture shows how a submarine would look like surfacing on a "
low pressure blow" bow first. But the bow I guess is the stern, so they put the engine and screws in the front!?!
Mr. Putin you need to send your designers to either Siberia or the Ukrainian Front!!
Second obviously the crew was rushed through Submarine School as they somehow forgot to
check the box for ensuring all the hatches
were secured prior to the dive IAW the Rig for Dive Bill Checklist!!!
Yes we had those and more.
They failed in the basic axiom of "having
ONE more surfacing then dives. The proper way as I experienced on the
USS NEBRASKA SSBN-739(G) which was of my last boat.

Also, they
miserably failed in damage control. What every submariner trains for starting in Sub School Groton, Ct. and while on any boat you serve on there after.

I was
23 when I joined the Navy and went there.
If I were a Russian Submariner serving on one of the other
two surviving MOSKVA Class Submarines, I'd request transfer to the Ukrainian Front, maybe better
Siberia instead.
I need to go to work, have a good day.

Pat
