15mm Heliar, Old Soviet Sub

[Doug]

Interesting shots, and the 15mm is clearly useful in that cramped space. I enjoyed seeing the insides.

There is (or was, 5 years ago) a Russian sub moored in Port of Seattle, similarly "enhanced" with theatrical Soviet-era markings. Sign says it's a "Cobra" submarine. Here's a shot across the harbor from May 2003...

Looks to be a Foxtrot diesel boat.
I think the whole "cobra," "scorpion" thing is just boob bait for the bubbas. I'm not sure the Soviets named their boats past the hull number. Even the Whiskey/Foxtrot designations I use are just names given by NATO for the class of boat.

Outstanding photos, sailor!!! Well done!

Wish I'd had my 15 when I visited HMS Belfast...
