I, as a person who grew up far from the sea, never before have seen submarines. And go inside, this deep-sea ship, do not even dream of!

It turns out, one black submarine is washed by the quiet waters of the Khimki Reservoir and invites all curious on your board.

The submarine B-396 641 B project under the name "Novosibirsk Komsomolets", was founded in 1979 at the plant "Red Sormovo" in Nizhny Novgorod.

The submarine was carrying service from 1980 to 1998 in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Norwegian Sea.

The boat consists of 7 sections: torpedo, two residential and storage, CPU, diesel, Electromotive, stern and residential.

On the tour you can only get a group of at least 10 people, children to adults. The group meets at the entrance to the museum. It is better to go on a weekend, then the probability that the group will be typed quickly, more.

Next to the submarine at the quay on display as military amphibious aircraft and a boat.

The first section - the torpedo.

The transitions on the boat were carried out through the hatches, they are saved, but added to the traditional door, where the visitors. Torpedo compartments outside closed, and inside the boat 6 torpedo devices available for inspection.

In this area, there are also diving suits, which were used as needed.

There were beds and soldiers, but they were withdrawn, as there was nowhere to stay visitors.

The boat could shoot just 6-torpedoes, each of which is pointed at the different goals defeat.

Surrealism technical stuff, very picturesque!

Now, the whole submarine is crammed with air conditioning, and divers have to breathe is not very fresh air.

In the compartment presented a rescue suit diver to exit crew members in emergency situations through the torpedo tubes.
