I agree with Outrider. If this is it, those guys are really close

I'm with the Wiz on this, unless it's just Photoshop.

Looks like a Sierra in the foreground overtaking a Kilo (or perhaps a Lada) in the background.

On the WEBSTER, and other American SSBN's, launching from the surface was not the preferred means of launching, but an option.

If a controlled test shot, like we're seeing here, the appropriate Auxiliary tank would be flooded to put a list on the boat during launch. Nothing more embarrassing than to poop out a bird, have it fail to light the grain, and have the damned thing fall back on your boat.

Typhoon with a hangfired SLBM? Lol

[greenman407]

I spy a photo op but nonetheless, what is it?

[greenman407]

Well ive got a couple of builders threads over there that I update every couple of months. I spend most of my time at your site. Redboat219, Im sure that , that picture was on the Subcommittee website and id like to have it but I dont know where it is. Funny, its easier to get pictures of Russian propellors nowadays than to get American or British ones. Thats why I post alot of Russian stuff as its so easy to get.

Got any photos of the Los Angeles class? I remember seeing a few photos of the ringed prop and vortex attenuator few years back on a different site.

Some things should be left alone.

Say, you're the only guy on SC now, aren't you, Mark? Other than you it's just cricket sounds over there.

Russian rescue chamber?

Right you are sir. Their answer to our Mcann Rescue Chamber.

Obviously they are qualifying the escape trunk on that boat.
