And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Back in the day in USN Submarine School, we had a class called "Soviet Recognition" which amounted to seeing flashcards/pictures of different USSR vessels and identifying them, stuff they carried etc. Back in the 1980s there were a very limited number of pictures available of USSR vessels so it wouldn't have been as difficult as it must be today. Hell there are youtube tours of the inside of these Russian submarines today, I can't imagine how much more we know about them now than back then.
Is that Captain Marko Ramius's boat?
