Typhoon Class Submarine

A real sea monster

  1. Most of them have been mothballed.

    Their mission was to find thick ice, blow tanks and rest up next to the ice, drifting with the current as mobile missile platforms. They were luxurious for Russian submarines and crew comfort was considered. (A rarity in Russian ships)

  2. ...and very expensive to operate and maintain.

  3. Check out 'Mission Invisible' about the Typhoon on amazon prime. Interesting that they were using knives (in 2001) to open up food cans and peel potatoes.
