This is the exhibition room in the centre of the submarine. Although a lot of the equipment has been taken out, there is still a lot to see. The boat was designed in the 1970s by theRubin bureau, which also designed the Kursk and many other Soviet submarines.. It was built in Nizhni Novgorod and served in the Northern Fleet, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean as a hunter-killer (as we would call it) from 1980-1998. It was armed with six torpedoes, and displaced 3,000 tons.(CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE IT) Note: the entries are in reverse date order.
