On Twitter, and some interesting stuff, some going back the olde days of navy and subhunting stuff. Modern too :P

Launching RPK-6M also known as the SSN-15/16; It is a little odd launching a cruise missile like this, but it works. Makes more sense when sub-launched :)

Refit on a Typhoon that is *supposed to be back on patrol in the fall. I said something about needing more than 2 coats of paint :D

Oscar in dock - just me, but thinking you might want to dock more often to get the sludge off. Likely doesn't improve stealth. Or handling..

On Eternal Patrol...OTD 1970, November SSN K-8 sank in the Bay of Biscay with the loss of 52 souls. 73 survived. (K-8 just prior to sinking)
