Project 645/November-class SSN K-27 was the first Soviet submarine to use lead/bismuth liquid metal-cooled reactor (LMR). K-27 was written off in 1979 after suffering a major radiological accident in 1968, full story here:

First plan to recover the K-27 resting at depth of approx. 30m utilizes foreign heavy-lift floating crane to recover the hull from the seafloor and then transport it using a semi-submersible vessel👇

Even hardcore sailors think ‘they’ are crazy, but they do so with great regard. Any man with the Dolphin pin on his lapel deserves all the respect and some more, for they are submariners; men who volunteer to lock themselves up in a windowless, cramped steel contraption...

of a vessel to work tirelessly for one and a half months at a time with 250 ft of sea above them. When they enter the submarine and the hatch closes above them, they know fully well that there are no exit doors for them in the event of danger. Yet, they step down the ladder

This is one of the most terrifying finds in history. A few notes from a qualified #LAClass Diesel Operator. #SubSunday #Submarines
Submarine diesel engines are some of the oldest and most impressive pieces of technology used by any navy. Every country has their own native built diesels and they are MASSIVE. Photo of the #LAClass @FairbanksMorse 38 1/8" during a tear down. 38=Year 1938.
I have shot live torpedoes and tomahawks... I have witnessed reactor startups... I have attacked battle-groups... sank a few carriers... and nothing was as amazing as starting up the diesel for the first time by myself.
