I don't see any issues here, she should be able to be towed out to sea and dive successfully.

That's a $300,000,000 sub... well, it was.
24 1 ReplyIt still is, it even has increased quick diving capabilities.
9 0 ReplyI am surprised a sub only costs $300MM.
4 0 ReplyProbably because it was released about 50 years ago.
4 0 ReplyIt's an ancient diesel electric sub. It's about as close to a budget military sub as you can get.

Naked women are drawn to submarines like a magnet. The ship is probably crawling with them right now.

I'm sure there's a joke about not having a navy but sinking submarines, but I'll let Zelensky tell it.
12 0 ReplyDoes anyone have a list of how many Russian ships have been taken out of combat? It seems Ukraine is winning the Naval war and they barely have a Navy.
12 0 ReplyThey do have a navy it's just a cheap and exploding navy.
Meanwhile the Russians have an expensive and explodable navy.

8 0 ReplyDamage like that would probably cost as much to properly repair as it would take to build a new sub.
I’m not a submersible expert by any stretch, but given the visible damage it’s a safe bet the pressure hull has been damaged and possibly punctured. In US subs the pressure hull is cast as a single piece, but I believe Russian ones are two pieces welded together. Whatever the case, damage to the pressure hull is far from trivial to repair. Any repairs to it that aren’t a complete replacement will likely result in a significantly weaker hull, meaning it could no longer safely dive as deep as it used to.
And replacing it would mean almost complete disassembly. Probably safer and more cost effective to build a completely new sub and cannibalize any parts from this one that makes sense.

Hulls are complex, all that tension and heat damage, can't undo it.
