U461

A Soviet Juliett-class U461 submarine has been docked here for public tours since 1998 - it was a Cold War era sub armed with four intercontinental ballistic missiles that was in service until the 1980s.

Aww no. I thought I'd be safe from big metal things in murky water this time around...*shivers!*

Great composition, though.

"Intercontinental ballistic missles". What an ominous phrase (still, even in this age).

The "u" prefix is surprising for an ex-Soviet sub. There's an original U-boat on the shore, not that far away, actually, in museum static display.
