Submarine "K-159" fastened to the pontoons supposed to keep it floating during towing on August 28, 2003. The same night, it sunk in the Barents Sea. It is now one of the objects that are to be lifted. Photo: Courtesy of Bellona Foundation

I suspect that Greenpeace and other Marxist “environmental groups” haven't spent near the amount of time protesting in international waters north of Norway, than they have protesting the French etc. in Polynesia and by New Zealand.

Just a hunch ... it is cold and stormy in the Arctic, and one doesn't offend ones’ paymasters in life.

November class. Being billeted on one of those was like a slow death sentence. In order to achieve speed, reactor shielding was sacrificed to save weight. The crew gets fried.
Add to that these were very noisy.
