Junky Soviet Submarine Design

From the outside, it looks little more than a slowly corroding hulk, but in the cramped confines of this abandoned vessel everything looks in great condition – even if the echoes that rebound around the space are a little creepy. With the empty vessel bobbing peacefully in the river where it is berthed, being inside this submarine is unnerving enough even now.

So we can only imagine what it must have been like to inhabit this confined space when the craft was operational, submerged 250 meters (820 ft) beneath the waves for weeks at a time As suggested, Black Widow submarines were no place for those who valued their ‘alone time’. Each one was crewed by 77 men, crammed into a space only 92 meters long and 7.5 meters wide – with much of the room taken up by machinery and other equipment. You can see from the photographs how restricted it must have been.
