New sub wreck in RI waters!

Update: Old Russian sub succumbs, and sinks


PROVIDENCE – “The Russian Sunken Sub Museum” is how engineer Damon Ise answered the phone this morning.
Yes, sometime in the evening, the listing submarine laid over on its side and sank, Ise said.
All that’s visible is the submarine’s periscope, sticking up out of the water at an angle, a radio antenna and one of the sub’s orange life buoys, Ise said.
“One of those [buoys] is bouncing and dancing on the surface, and then there’s just a trail of bubbles coming from the front,” he said. “It’s very sad.”
No fuel is leaking from the vessel, Ise said, and crews are working already on a salvage plan with a professional from New York.



Start up the Thunderfish!

What are kidding me, Comrade? Sad? It would be great if they could tow that hulk out into Narragansett Bay or wherever and sink it in about 80fsw. I'd probably get more visitors u/w. What's sad is the rest of the Russian sub fleet rotting away at the docks in Murmansk and other Russia bases. Too bad you couldn't get a few of those subs, clean 'em and sink 'em around here. But, that involves a huge amount of hard work, lobbying and red tape(I've heard).
