#russian sub

A Soviet Tango-class submarine. One of a total of 18. The 1st built by Gorky in 1972.

This one in lying in the harpour of Hamburg; now a museum.

A Russian submarine which positioned itself directly outside the entrance to Cork Harbour was "chased off" by a British helicopter and warship because our depleted navy doesn’t have the equipment to detect potential underwater threats. The submarine was just outside the 12-mile limit, so it didn’t break any international laws, but military sources have indicated that such events around the Irish coast are becoming more common. Details of the Russian underwater operation and subsequent British intervention, which took place six months ago, have just emerged. Military insiders say the Russians are probing British defence systems as they realise the UK is vulnerable on its western flank because the Irish navy has no sonar capabilities on the two ships that are still operational, meaning they cannot detect what’s going on underwater.

This is how submarine warfare is supposed to look. In some of the other sub movies I have seen there is too much light and the sounds in the water are over exaggerated. This movie puts a dark ambiance on the subs, as it should be 700 feet below sea level. Also, the sounds are much more realistic, both the sub propeller sounds and the torpedo sounds. This type of realistic approach reminds me of the sound void in space on the Battlestar Galactica series. Sometimes there is some awkward silence, but it soothes my need for realistic cinema on screen. At the end of this clip the US sub captain almost crashes the sub into the sea floor and then the wreckage of a sunk US sub, but at the last moment the captain's maneuvers result in the enemy torpedoes hitting the already sunk sub and not them.
