How the USSR built the first nuclear submarine that killed the crew



Classified disasters. On September 18, 1967, when returning to the base from the next combat trip of the nuclear submarine K-3 of project 627, “Leninsky Komsomol” of the Red Banner Northern Fleet, the first major fire in the domestic fleet occurred in the first compartment with the death of a third of the personnel. Little is known about this accident.

  1. There seems to be a common theme with USSR nuclear mishaps. They were in a rush. Also the education and safety protocols were not there. They just did as they were told without knowledge of why and what risks. And carelessness. "Not my job " mentality. And people were cheap and if something happened families were lied to and threatened.

  2. What kind of lunatic would turn the highly radioactive submarine into a museum? Besides, with the amount of replacements installed over its life, shouldn't that ship belong to Thesius?

  3. The computer-generated voice will keep me from subscribing. Also, the script was disjointed. I believe this was originally written in another tongue and badly translated.

  4. Let's put 2 reactors on them.
    We need that much power?
    No, so we have a spare when 1 breaks down.
    These people were straight lunatics. Have reactor accidents, fire the other one up, and keep on patrolling.

  5. Ok Wisioner this robovoice is close to artificial unintelligence.

    At around 4.50 a sentence is spoken that either has no connection to the previous and following statements, or has been mispaced by the computing in such a way as to make its relevance less intelligible, and is extremely awkward phrasing.

    Seriously, it is painful enough listening to the "voice" let alone trying to decipher it's mangling of comprehensible speech patterns.

  6. The translation in many places is gibberish, and the robot reader makes it worse. Get yourself a native speaking editor. Nice try, though – an interesting subject.

  7. The thing about submerge speed is that for submarines, it isn't as big as a factor (within reason) as being quiet! Also, you need a good sonar suite!! The early USSR (actually SSR*) sonar system was nicknamed the Hellen Keller!!! (For those of you who've never heard of her, she was blind and deaf. She overcame her disability to a major extent thanks to Anne Sullivan who she always referred to as Teacher…, but the Soviet Navy never got those sonar units to overcome their flaws!)

    *Soviet is Russian for Union, so United Soviet Socialist Republics = United United Socialist Republics…..

  8. I found this all very interesting and had not seen the subject covered before. Congratulations! Could I make the suggestion that you do not introduce the false scratches on so much of the film archive. They look contrived and irritating especially when the images themselves are of very good quality.

  10. While not a torpedo shape or something along the lines of the Albacore or Skipjack shape , the hull shape of the Nautilus was quite different from its diesel/electric ancestors. It borrowed somewhat from the late war German XXI U-boat hull lines. Visited her a few years back.
