Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Ok I post one when I get from work...

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Alright, lets go underwater..

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

USN USS Wahoo SS-565 a "Tang" Class desiel powered submarine

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

nope (*cough* the jack *cough*)

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

SS-184 USS Skipjack, salomon class submarine.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Fooled me with that 565 sign in the back ground..The boat may have been USN orginally ..but in this pic,as I have examined it carefully..it is not a USN sub at the time of this pic..May have been transfered from the USN to another navy....I dunno what it is

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Guess Lima Class sub. Confused by flag, Bulgarian??? - (EDIT: flag looked like old style Bulgarian Ensign but clearly isn't).

EDIT2: Googled it in Russian and am 100% certain my guess was right. I am in disbelief that my 1980s recognition lessons efforts paid off. How on earth have I stored a profile image of an obscure sub in my head all these years when I can't even remember what I had for supper last night???? I surprise even myself

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Yes, it's Project 1840. Interesting that tactical number is often given as BS-555, although the photo clearly shows 565.
P.S. I'm pissed off. I'm never here when the question is posted.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Yeas Planeman was right...tough I don't understand how can you confuse the standart soviet navy jack

ANyway if anyone has a linedrawing of that particular submarine class (pr. 1840) please send it to me, I need it for my drawings...

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Re the jack, I must be mad

Anyway, here's a boat. As usual the number is has been removed to protect the innocent:
