  Whiskey class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Soviet navy, the patrol variants of this class were replaced by Romeo class submarines.
On 27 January 1961, the Soviet Whiskey class submarine S-80 was lost due to accidental flooding while the boat was submerged.

 Encyclopedia: Nuclear submarine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Nuclear powered submarines and other large submarines are classed as ships, but are customarily referred to by their crews as "boats".
The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K 8 in 1970, K -219 in 1986, and Komsomolets (the only Mike class submarine) in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines—1000 m).
Submarines are popular subjects for films due to the danger, drama and claustrophobia of being on a submarine, and the suspense of the cat-and-mouse game of submarine or anti-submarine warfare.

 The Soviet Spetsnaz Threat to Nato   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Before 1981, Soviet submarines had departed from Swedish waters as soon as they realized their presence had been detected; ill the ensuing years, they have behaved more arrogantly, remaining within the restricted area despite increasingly strenuous Swedish naval activities to curtail their operations.
One of the several signs pointing in this direction is the increase in submarine incursions in the vicinity of permanent defense installations on the Swedish coast; in earlier years, the activity appeared directed at Swedish navy exercises and testing of materiel.
Finally, there is a disconcerting political and military consequence resulting from these continued submarine incursions: the Europeans seem to have become desensitized to the territorial violations, which have been relegated to the sphere of everyday occurrences.

 Carpenter
Designed to counter Soviet high-speed snorkel-equipped diesel submarines similar to the German World War II-era Type-XXIs, Carpenter was equipped with a trainable Hedgehog, two Weapon Alfa anti-submarine rocket launchers, anti-submarine torpedoes, and numerous depth charges, in addition to torpedo countermeasure equipment, towed decoys and an improved sonar system.
During those evolutions, Carpenter conducted ASW patrols to keep Soviet submarines from observing the tests in between her duties as plane guard for Rendova (CVE-114), whose planes flew patrol and reconnaissance missions in the region.
Emerging from the yard in August with a new helicopter flight deck and a side-scanning SQS-32 sonar to improve her submarine detection capabilities, she spent the rest of the year conducting refresher training and local operations designed to test her newly installed equipment.

In the meantime there were a number of submarine missile projects including a ramjet weapon (P-40) from the Lavochkin Bureau for the Project 624 (a derivative of the Project 611 or 'Zulu' class) designed from 1949 onwards and later also proposed for the Project 63 cruiser (a derivative of the project 68bis or 'Sverdlov' class).
In the `Slava' class (Project 1164) the paired SM-241 launcher tubes are fixed at an angle of some 30º in a mounting which probably includes an efflux venting system, and the missiles are rarely removed from the launcher.
In submarines the missiles are carried in pairs of launch tubes between the pressure hull and the casing, a hinged hatch protecting each pair.

The submarines directly involved apparently included two of the American Sturgeon Class, most probably the USS Cavalla and USS Puffer, while the USS Guitarro and USS Bergall were standing by to assist further off shore.
The reason why we know that most of these submariners were involved is because with the end of the Cold War, all the underwater warriors wanted to be recognized for their feats, leading to the publication of what awards they received, and when.
To complement the thrust that American attack submarines were carrying out in the Barents, Washington, it seems, had the USS Seawolf lead a contingent of submarines, including the deep-diving submersible NR-1, and the missile submarine USS Sam Houston converted to carry Navy SEALS into the Baltic (Sontag and Drew, pp.
