	Yankee class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Yankee class is the general NATO classification for a type of nuclear-powered submarine that was originally constructed by the Soviet Union around 1968.
		The Yankees were the first class of Soviet subs to have comparable firepower, in terms of ballistic missile batteries, to their American counterparts.
		Yankee II subs were ballistic missile submarines that first appeared in 1976; at least one was a converted Yankee I sub.

	Encyclopedia: Submarine
		Submarines at periscope depth in clear water during the daytime are more easily detectable by aircraft that are directly overhead.
		Submarines designed for the purpose of attacking merchant ships or other warships are known as "fast attacks", "hunter-killers", "fast boats", or "fleet submarines".
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.

	Soviet submarine K-219 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		K-219 was a Navaga-class ballistic missile submarine (NATO reporting name "Yankee I") of the Soviet Navy.
		The United States Navy normally does not comment on submarine operations, but in the case, because the scenario is so outrageous, the Navy is compelled to respond.
		The United States Navy categorically denies that any U.S. submarine collided with the Russian Yankee submarine (K-219) or that the Navy had anything to do with the cause of the casualty that resulted in the loss of the Russian Yankee submarine.

	Chap. 6: Decommissioning of nuclear submarines - The Russian Northern Fleet
		Since the middle of the 1980s, nuclear powered submarines have been taken out of service and prepared for decommissioning.[463] The first generation nuclear submarines that were taken out of service early in the 1980s and laid up is now being prepared for dismantling.
		The problems associated with the decommissioning of nuclear submarines were raised in the Duma on June 14, 1994, at the Commission for Emergency Action on March 14, 1995 and at two international conferences held in Severodvinsk on March 23, 1994, and in Moscow on June 19-20, 1995.
		A submarine of the Project 667 B - Delta-I class is reported to contain 830 tons of noxious waste, of which 22 tons are battery acid.[492] No economic guarantees have been given by the state for the responsible handling of this waste.

	Submarine Accidents
		The two American submarines and three of the Soviet nuclear submarines sank as a result of accident; the fourth Soviet vessel was scuttled in the Kara Sea upon the decision of responsible authorities when repair was deemed impossible and decommissioning too expensive.
		On October 6, at 11:03, the submarine sank with a loss of four lives.[7] The reason for the explosion in the missile tube is unclear.
		The Project 627 - November class submarine K-8 was on exercise in the Barents Sea when a leak developed in the steam generators and in a pipe leading to the compensator reception.

		The submarine is salvaged by the Soviet Navy in August, one of the few cases of a nuclear powered submarine being lost and later being salvaged.

		The Yankee-class submarines were significantly quieter than Hotel-class submarines due to a smoother hull shape, special propeller design, exterior sound-deadening coatings, and other modifications.
		Several subs in the class were modified, such as the K-403 and K-411, whose missile compartments were converted to carry miniature submarines.

		But recently, members of a U.S. submarine crew finally told about a top-secret mission that some believe may have hastened the end of the Cold War.
		Although it was not the first mission to follow the Soviets, or the last, it was one of the more successful, and information on it has been declassified by the Navy.
		Evans attributed the success of the mission to the experienced crew; to the Batfish design, which made it "extremely quiet"; and to a new, extra-sonar system that was dragged behind the American sub, making its sonar detection superior to the less-advanced, noisier Soviet sub.

		Both of Canada’s National daily newspapers, The Globe and Mail and National Post are reminding readers that the sinking of K-219 (a ballistic-missile Yankee class nuclear submarine) some 400 miles north-east of Bermuda’s coast was one of the first “signs of [Russian] navy decline.”
		And although all but three of the 119 crewmen were rescued, the submarine found a watery grave three miles beneath our sub-tropical waves.
