Talk:Soviet submarine K-27

Untitled
I don't know where the article's original depth of 50m comes from... The linked BBC article notes it at 238m. 00:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.52.189 (talk)

You must be more attentive!!! The linked BBC article ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3195195.stm ) is about K-159 submarine not about K-27 (the article only mentioned K-27 in the very end as additional example, and the mentioned depth for K-27 is 50 m)! So I deleted that link as almost unrelated to the subject of the article. But I saw depth of 50 m and 75 m in some Russian sources indeed. The real depth in the point where K-27 was scuttled is 33 m only. This is confirmed by most reliable sources: archive data, memoires of the last captain of K-27 who participated in the operation (by the way, K-27's nose touched the bottom at an angle so naval rescue tug rammed the stern part of K-27 foundered by the head to scuttle it completelly, and the length of K-27 was 109.8 m) and data of Russian scientific expeditions which investigated the site almost annually.
