The museum "Submarine B-440"

Writes russos

Really what we did not expect to see in Vytegra, located on the border of the Vologda region and the Karelian Republic, it's diesel-electric submarines Project 641 "B-413", which is now converted into a museum. Honestly, there is no clear explanation why they decided to make this unusual museum, except to mention that Vytegra gave Homeland 5 admirals, I have not found. Nevertheless, in the long journey to the north you can make a short stop there and see this wonderful museum.

Submarines of Project 641 - a series of Soviet diesel-electric submarines (Foxtrot by NATO classification). The project was considered successful. It was built 75 ships, including 17 for export to the naval forces of various countries. The project was a logical development of 611 projects, which in turn was based on the German elektrolodkah XXI series. Here's a continuity.
