Visited on Sunday, with thanks going out to the owner for ferrying us over and allowing us on board for a fantastic opportunity!

This place is amazing, it looks a sorry state outside, but is like a time capsule inside!

The Low Yield Nuclear Submarine was nicknamed the 'Black Widow'. It is listing badly due to holes in the bodywork.

Active in the Russian Baltic Fleet until April 1, 1994, She had 27 years in service.

In some of the images, you will see the image is wonky, this is actually looking at the Sub level!! When I stand in the images, I am standing up straight!

Wow!
That's a bit different from the usual explore isn't it! :p
Gotta love those crazy handles.
Was it listing to one side when you were walking about?
Excellent report mate, well done for getting the tour! :mrgreen:
 
ferk that for a game of soldiers too..........I reckon I'd have tried my hand at any branch of the services but never, no way, no how, no sirree, not a submariner..........:lol:
 
I don't think I have heard 'sick' and 'ill' in the same response for a while lol, but I take it as a compliment, so thank you.
 
You can see why they call these things Iron Lungs or Coffins when you see how small they are inside!
 
Great stuff D-UK. I understand that lines of communication with the owner are open and that there might be more visits in the future?
GDZ
 
Well it wasn't treated as we were the last to be allowed on, so yes I would say others could go, but you must contact the owner first, all the old routes people used to get in have been sealed from the inside.

I didn't organise the trip but I got the impression that he was happy to take us over as we made the effort to ask him (and thank him for the pleasure with some gifts:) ).
 
This place looks really interesting!! Dope set of photos man I'm envious!!!!!
