“Descend into the once forbidden confines of this genuine “Cold War Warrior".
See the torpedo rooms, the cramped crew’s quarters, the galley, machinery rooms and
electronics spaces. See the lethal torpedo tubes and look through her actual attack
periscope. View all the once top secret places and spaces of this formerly classified
"terror of the deep".
Marvel at the miles of wire and piping and the complex array of
valves that make up the veins and arteries of a combat submarine. See how life on
board this “Podvodnaya Lodka”(Russian for Submarine) was lived as she
"drilled holes in the ocean" performing her assigned duties and top secret missions.
Get a look and feel for the "Cold War" from the other
side!
