Dmitry Koval, Service No. 5-98 (33) was the sailor/crew member who sadly lost his life in the 2004 accident on the Podolsk K-223. (I did some digging using Russian resources).

Dmitry apparently tried to warn the rest of the crew by shouting "It's cracking!" (or words to that effect - my Russian is far from perfect) as events rapidly unfolded. Dmitry's role on the Podolsk was "матрос-электрик" (the literal translation is "sailor-electrician") - so he was probably an electrician's mate or whatever the correct rank is these days.

I know, in the case of such an unfortunate accident, Aaron normally likes to mention the crew member's name - particularly if the sailor concerned was trying to protect the rest of the crew or if any heroism/self-sacrifice was involved.

Bonus info: Podolsk is a small city about 15km south of the outskirts of Moscow. I've passed through it a few times on my way to the Russian countryside to go mushroom-picking with some Russian friends....))

Hey Jive, I'm fascinated by what you have said about the sound of lost, drifting trawler nets...any chance you can access one of those recordings (as I can't imagine they are classified - unless trawler tech counts as state secrets? XD ) and show us, like you did with other sonar captured sounds? Be good for Halloween!

[Nekulturny]

What I'm curious about is how did they decide which missiles to the deploy with. Was it just.. hey, lets flip a coin, or was it matched to a specific threat level? Was there any method to the madness (as I'm someone who while fascinated by this stuff, obviously watching the video, finds nuclear weapons in general to be madness). I mean, what on Earth would prompt them to say "okay, this time we go out to sea, we need the missiles that are .1 kiloton, because New York City is our biggest threat today!" Were they just specifically mad that Cory Heart wore his sunglasses at night on that particular day of the week?

opening the hatch with 6' ice on top, and Im not so critical about the hydraulics not wanting to work anymore.

36:03 please open google maps and search for krasheninnikov bay. And you will see that it is where the blue dot is.

@sub brief
Are there any bilologics that will damage the sub? I'm thinking about like a shark eating a towed array or something.

[susanbane]

I've been shot in combat and defending myself I don't consider it as murder
I also don't believe in God or mystical beings

[grantchallinor]

Rightly or wrongly, I always understood that the collision (in May 1981) involving the Russian K-211 and initially attributed to an un-named American submarine, later actually turned out to be a British Swiftsure class submarine (HMS Sceptre) with the crew ordered (at the time) to say the submarine was damaged after hitting ice - with the truth only emerging years later. It looks like the British boat ran into the stern of the K-211.

Know that your efforts are genuinely appreciated

You keep showing that slide of Pavlovsky and Krasheninnikov Bay with them being a hundred miles apart, they are not, in reality Krasheninnikov is not down on the tip of the peninsular but in the same bay as Pavlovsky just across from it on the other side of the bay not even 10 miles distant.

That anecdote of them going to Krasheninnikov to save some transit time is nonsense, the mouth of the bay is equally distant from both places.

[BrentKung]

your map of kashennikov bay is wrong... it is literally just south of pertropavlovsk city not the southern tip of kamchatka as you point out.

[chrisdimis]

This is the longest SubBrief Ever. This is amazing

[qfytidw]

I'm going to call them and ask them why they were trying to nuke my city when they've never met me or been to my city.

[Tasca_Lumina]

Are we sure about that fire extinguishing agent? (38:41) LOX is a common abreviation for Liquid Oxygen, which makes a rather lousy fire supression agent to say the least. Could it be Nitrous Oxide, NOX?

[andrewcox]

I can't help noticing a lot of the port shots show the Deltas berthed next to an attack sub. Would that be the escort or is it just chance?

[jugganaut]

I think anyone that sees Russia as a complete enemy is naive. There’s been plenty of opportunity for hostilities. And have been serious hostilities but without without war.
More recently The SAS and GRU were operating in Syria within 300 yards of eachother. On seperate sides of the conflict.

Without a single casualty to either side. Speaks volumes for current global stability and cooperation. Along with USMC and VDV racing On the same highways on route to the same operations area.
A privilege Formed by mutual exchanges such as submarine decommissioning.
Decommissioning Retired nuclear submarines in exchange for unrestricted access to Soyuz and the ISS. Cooperation in the north and south poles with Icebreakers and Quite regularly Professional Oil and Gas services to Europe.
Rights to Yak Engine technologies and assistance for the F35.
Tracking data for old Soviet Star Wars satalites.
And you know not letting extremists get hold of nuclear waste etc.
It benefits everyone. And the more intertwined and reliant on each other the more impossible war becomes.. Russia is more like a Competitor then an enemy. A stubborn, unlawful, slippery competitor.

[richardpatton]

Can you imagine being on your little trawler and all of the sudden it gets swallowed by the sea!
Proper scary stuff

[LuxorAB]

48:20 apart from military use, sometimes it's cheaper to launch sattelites from different points on the globe. And since ballistic missile submarine already basically a moving spaceport and already built - that's just logicall to try to utilise its capabilities in peacetime as much as possible. And crues definetly getting some useful expirience from launches

[pegzounet]

28:00 not to mention that you most definitely do not want any nuclear fuel lying around with half hearted supervision, even if it's not weapons grade...

[rebsredone]

I sincerely doubt that we are still paying for stuff like this. Not after Crimea.

By the way, the term for Demonstrator-2s orbit type is: heliosynchronous, not heliocentric.
