Looks like they left the starboard window open near the bow.

That would explain a lot.

Does that thing take “D” batteries, or “C’s”?

The ripply stuff is anechoic coating. This boat was doomed from the start - primary coolant leak, never de-fueled, kept at a pier rotting, and then sent to sea with - I swear I’m not making this up - holes where her hull had rusted through. They never even went after the poor bustards who went down with her. It really, really, really sucked to be a Soviet submarine sailor.

Maybe the can send in the Glomar Explorer ;)
Perhaps a little “sea mining” of manganese nodules.

No. But there were in 1965, when she first leaked. And there were in 1967 when she returned to the shipyard, and in 1970 when she went back, and in 1979 when she went back again. There were Soviet sailors when she was decommissioned in 1989.
I used to be in the ASW biz. This was a November class boat - if you know what I'm talking about no more need be said. If you don't, then nothing I can say is adequate.

It really, really, really sucked to be a Soviet submarine sailor.Plus, if this sub was nuclear they all would have been dead from radiation by now anyway.

I would imagine that in the last 7+ years, the CO2 problem might have reared its ugly head.
