As the boomer left Holy Loch in Nov 1974, she collided with a Soviet Victor-class submarine, luckily only resulting in minor damage. The incident was declassified in 2017. #SilentService #ColdWar

#OTD in 1982, while on duty in the Barents Sea, the Soviet Navy's Northern Fleet Project 705K/Alfa-class interceptor SSN K-123 suffered a release of approx. 2 tonnes of a liquid metal coolant from the reactor into the reactor compartment, leading to a deterioration of the radiation situation.
As a result of the coolant loss she immediately lost the power, surfaced, the power plant was switched into a cooldown mode, power consumption was transferred to the battery & diesel generator, and the accident was reported to the HQ via radio. K-123 was towed to her home base by the rescue ship Altai.
The accident irreparably damaged the reactor so that it had to be replaced & it took nine years to finish the repairs. The cause of the accident was later defined as a clogging of the steam generator tubes with sludge & corrosion damage.

Resurrecting one of my older threads again.
This time it's a horror story, short🧵:
1. Soviet submarine K-320 was a Project 670 Skat/Charlie I-class nuclear-powered, guided missile submarine (SSGN). Designed by the famous Lazurit design bureau, Charlie-class submarines were made to carry out surprise attacks on the Western/NATO high-value naval assets such as the aircraft carriers and CSG components.
