Submarine B440

During his large photo expedition to the Kola Peninsula, zhzhshnye fotobloggery Vytegra visited the town, the main attraction of which is the museum "Submarine B-440", opened in 2005. Museum in Vytegra appeared not by chance, in spite of the fact that the city is far from the sea and even to the shore of Lake Onega is not so close. And the thing is that in the years of the Great Patriotic War there was the headquarters of the Onega Flotilla. In addition Vytegra still irodina many Russian admirals, including designer diesel submarines of "K" Lavrent'ev Rudnicki.

Big diesel submarine was built on the B440 Novoadmiralteyskom plant. The composition of WWII came in 1970. During his military service in the Northern and Baltic fleets took place more than 100 000 miles. In 1998, it excluded from the Navy and transferred for recycling, and in 2003 has already begun renovations to the museum.
