just pullin yer leg shipmate. Hard telling what mods those Russians did to the old DKM boats. They tried all sorts of things that didnt work, and they usually overbuilt with the "stronger is better" mentality. I havent seen any other boats like that so it was either for a unique mission project or they found a better way to acomplish the mission. When the Soviets got all those state of the art subs it was sort of like a farm boy trying to work on a fine German clock with a hammer and sickle.Comment

Isn't that the submarine they used in the movie U571? The S-33 disguised as a German u-boat.Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

Well if thats true then all bets are off. It does appear to have an S boat bow as this picture shows:

I wonder why the picture caption says K-19?IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

because its a hollywood prop used in K19 the widdowmaker, U571, Raiders of the lost ark, 1941, and who knows what else. The bow is an S boat type but the hull has U boat style limber holes and ballast tanks. My guess is it may have been an S boat that escaped the scrap yard somehow in the late 40s and ended up in a hollywood back lot. Then the property department did some cosmetic modification over the years. Ill bet Harrison Ford could tell you about it, it seems hes spent some time on it, here and there.Comment
