Yankee Sub Brief Part 3 of 6 (new link)

11 months late but I would guess the Granit is what was intended. NATO would call it a "Shipwreck".

question: R-27s are also an AAM that the Su-27, Mig-29 carries. Obviously, they are not the same missile. Why the same nomenclature?

Jared Asplundh

My guess would be because its hard. Very heard. In Blind Mans Bluff I think USS Parche went from I think the US East coast under South America up to the Russian pacific coast, and kept going north under the polar ice cap all the way to tap cables around the soviet northern fleet. The Russian northern ice cap coast line is often impassable depending on the time of year and weather patterns. And even if there is a way through its very hard to find, and even if you do find it its very tight, sometimes only 100ft or so from bottom of ice and ocean floor. Parche tried twice over several months before succeeding if I remember correctly.

are you sure it was the Granat missile? cause thats a huge missile, are you thinking of the kalibr missile?

From What I now that's a Hollywood term. They would of just said its doing baffle clear. (all navies do that in some way or another)

subs in a class share a lot of the same characteristics, but everyone has something unique.

Silly question: When K-411 aggressively clearer her baffles was that called a "Crazy Ivan"? Sorry in advance if I've just read too much fiction.

Do subs of the same class all sound identical, or are ther certain tells that sonar operators can look for to figure out which hull it is?

That K395 was one of the few subs we've talked about that not only continued operations after the transition in '91 but was upgraded and used quite actively. The K408 went all around South America to reach the Pacific, I wonder why they just didn't go under the arctic.
