Largest ever built

[edit]

Why the part about being among the largest ever built? They are about the same size as the US WWII fleet sub, and are dwarfed by the Japanese I-400 class. Rees11 (talk) 17:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where is she now?

[edit]

Can anybody confirm where B-39 is?
The article here says she is in San Diego, having served in the Pacific Fleet; this says she was in the Baltic, and is now at Chatham (!). A confused Xyl 54 (talk) 06:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are two B-39's both deactivated on April 1, 1994 - one went to San Diego and one went to London, UK in July 1994 also converted into a museum ship and now is in the River Medway near Chatham/Rochester. See also http://www.sovietsub.co.uk/about.html
The one in the River Medway is still floating, apart from the giant hole in its side! See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2590062
This really needs to be sorted out - was going to edit the page to add all the medway stuff !!!!!!!!DavidAnstiss (talk) 11:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the website, the B-39 Russian Foxtrot-Class Cobra Submarine moved from Seattle, WA to the Maritime Museum of San Diego, CA. The address is provided in the links on the article page, along with contact information: http://www.sdmaritime.org/b-39-submarine/
It's too bad that it moved 1000 miles south; it'll be a long time before I get the chance to see it now.

Thanks (belatedly!) for the comments, gents. I've tried to clarify this by making a page on the boat in the Medway and cross-linking them. Any information on the Medway boat would be welcome! Xyl 54 (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

This article says she was called "Black Widow" at one time; can anyone confirm this? Has someone confused this one with the boat in the Medway which is also labelled "B-39" (and is likely to be a confusion with this one)? Xyl 54 (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
