Photos showing off the inside of a Russian nuclear submarine, the largest in active service in the world, have been released, with the huge ship being the inspiration behind the sub from the classic Sean Connery movie The Hunt for Red October.
Images show crew members working on the Typhoon-class sub, also known as an Akula, a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine belonging to the Russian Navy.
The sub appears to be the Dmitriy Donskoi, which entered into active service in 1982 and, after the decommissioning and scrapping of its Typhoon sister boats, became the largest submarine in the world.
The Dmitriy Donskoi joined the Russian Northern Fleets anti-submarine warfare drills in July, shortly before the new photos were released.

I have been inside TK-208 when they were offering tours a few years ago. If you were in any other submarine it doesn’t even feels like you are in a submarine upon climbing in. It is more like a two star cruise liner inside although the interior is 1970s vintage with fake wood paneling and related stuff. The skipper’s quarters is actually like a large office with reception and conference room. It has a gym, a steam bath and even a swimming pool.
That’s not an Olympic pool but definitely larger than any hot tub I have ever seen.
Great movie...before Alec Baldwin went full retard.

Watched this on an airplane flight last week. Featured Russian Akula class submarines. https://www.fandango.com/hunter-killer-2018-213212/movie-overview
I missed that when it was out in the theater
The crew members wearing jump suits have either a number tape or name tape on the left breast of their uniform. Because of the uniform I assume that they are enlisted. Letters could be for Chief Petty Officers and numbers for enlisted, but that’s just a guess. Wonder what the numbers mean?
