Awsome guys! I have been in a simillar one. A Sovjet zuluclass sub from 1956. Dazzeling all those turning wheels, small spaces and sleeping beds above the diesel engine! Imagine what a nightmare to sail on it!!
Those clock faces you were looking at were oxygen clocks. You set the time you went in and had to be out by a certain time, depending on the size of the compartment. When the sub was underway you would have been sealed in with only so much air.
Great vid , well done getting in all the very tight holes. For your knowledge its a diesel electric hunter killer Sub or SSK in USA classification. Lots of the pipework and valves are for trimming the vessel, once dived to a depth to even out the boat water has to be pumped from one end to the other until it is neutrally buoyant with the gravity at the centre. This has to be done every time the depth is changed even by a few meters. The crew was doubled up for two watches shearing bunks, each two crew members would have to know their posts duties inside out, hence no one really knew what all the valves and dials did on the boat. Shame she has been so gutted out but i suppose they had to make sure she couldn't be used for war, good job you vent the ballast tanks by mistake!
Thoroughly Enjoyed that explore! Great Job IKS Team! Lots of good interesting history right there! The paint worn off all the Valve Wheels..shows the sub was used extensively.
Absolutely amazing. Fascinating. I'm simply in awe of the people who had to serve on such vessels. And also those who designed them. So may systems that all have to work together. If there's a fault in one of them, how the hell do the techs manage to hunt down and fix such problems? Incredible.
What a cracking video Ian, bringing us something we probably would never get to see, I can't quite get my head around how complex the thing is, must have been a nightmare to build and maintain. Cheers guy's.
First GOOD look I've had inside a diesel electric sub. Much different than the USS Scorpion, a small nuclear attack sub I visited as a guest in 1964. Great vido. Thanks for posting!
The mysterious control panels with the large hand wheels in the engine room actually control the electric drives for underwater operation. The design is very reminiscent of the type XX u-boat. There is a type XX u-boat at the Deutsches Schiffahrts in Bremerhaven.
You start any subs engines underwater and everyone on board would burst their eardrums from the pressure change of the engine trying to suck air. Of course any good diesel electric has a snorkel that will allow it to breathe submerged down a few meters, but it needs to be deployed.
What a great watch these sub videos were , it boggles the brain how many gauges switches leavers lights valves there are to operate , imagine being locked in and being told to sail it , where would you begin ?
some of the facilities and every sections of this boat are still intact which it means their is a big possibilities to restore and to be over hauled the vessel to become useful once again it will be a bit expensive. but i think it going to be worth it, when this boat has finally can set on sail once again. any way this type of vessel was already a part of the evolution of the Navy submarines not only in Russia were this boat was originated but in the entire world.
The large machines looked like solution computers, early electromechanical devices that would give you the settings needed for your torpedoes. The mechanism on the head (toilet) is an interlock and seal as the flushing was done by a little water and compressed air.
way the escape hatch works, the rubber skirt is dropped and the boat partially flooded, hopefully the air pressure in the sub balances out the water pressure, then to escape they open the hatch and enter, then one by one float to the surface, the skirt prevents the air from flooding out of the sub straight away.
Yup. The others can check out the "C.F. 'O' Class Submarines - Escape" which describes the emergency escape procedures of Oberon class submarines." maritime.org/doc/oberon/escape/index.htm#pg5
The big boxes with the wheels behind the engineroom are the generator controls of the diesel generators to regulate the amount of power that is charged to the batteries and/or the electric motors
the red fluid level looks like the plane indicator for diving, the tanks around 17 mins would either be diesel or ballast by the looks of it, nut ive only seen little bits of russian stuff,
The bits under the floor would be the fuel tank the bilge pumps and the air system to make the boat go up or down buy flooding with water water in go down air in go up. the boat was diesel electric with all the power comming from the engine on surfice battery when under water
they only work if you can flood the tank called netural boyancey filling the tank with air fast was called a emergency surface you can get the same effect with a beer in the bath full the bottle sits down empty it sits on the surface
Those rubber seals/curtains are pulled down just a meter above the floor and secured with chains /ropes to keep an airlock above the opening when the boat is flooded to equalize pressure but maintain air for the waiting crew while opening the hatch and one by one the crew ducks under the curtain to swim to the surface. This can only be done on limited depths because of the bends More modern submarines have capsules on the ceiling that can be flooded to let a few crew members out while the rest of the crew can wait under normal pressure, after the people opened the upper hatch of the capsule they float in special suits to the surface Then the upper hatch is closed water is let out in the submarine under hatch is opened and the next few people can do the same. Because of the limited time the body is under pressure deeper escapes are possible with less risk of the bends
I was thinking exactly the same thing about being an engineer on a sub, it would have been cool to have someone who knows what the stuff is for with you on video
Submariners are a unique breed. The way I heard it from one that I knew, each person who had their own job on the sub had to be able to fill in for almost anyone else, and know it very well.
Right up until you showed the fridge slash freezer I was really wondering where they kept the beef and pork and chicken without it going bad! The kitchen is pretty dam small and for the crew it doesn't seem like it's Big enough to cook for all of those men! The American subs feed their crew better than the rest of the Navy and no one ever talks about whether or not the Russians did the same thing? Let me know if you know? Thanks!
Russian subs could never be manned by fat westerners...amazing how they could build without computers back in the 60’s. Would take 1000 hrs of training just to get a submariner started. So many valves, gauges, procedures that would have to be learned. Then to make it even more daunting, each person on that sub has to know how to operate everything in times of emergencies. Amazing
Good documentation - BUT I only see a death boat. Death electric panels and lamps - nothing is working more. And also the engine is opened and out of function. It’s better to see a boat which is still works and can drive ... why have the private owner not the focus on that big fact as only show a death relict without all functions??

Great work IKS. Very cool seeing all those gadgets still in place and those engines were massive
Awesome video was great to see all parts of sub
Excellent 2 parts. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure IKS exploration.
Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing. I never thought of refrigeration on a sub untill I saw this

great stuff.. Ep 2 didn't disappoint :) couldn't begin to imagine working on there. Thank you for showing

Just fascinating! Thanks so much for the tour.
i like both the parts to this little series.. amazing! and amazing everything is still there even if some of the wiring is gone.. great video :)

Incredible.
You are right. Most subs had twin systems, so everything is doubled for a back up while they fixed it.
What a cracking video Ian, bringing us something we probably would never get to see, I can't quite get my head around how complex the thing is, must have been a nightmare to build and maintain. Cheers guy's.
Really enjoyed the sub videos guys. Best videos yet.
Absolutely fascinating, I've really enjoyed these submarine videos guys.
First GOOD look I've had inside a diesel electric sub. Much different than the USS Scorpion, a small nuclear attack sub I visited as a guest in 1964. Great vido. Thanks for posting!
excellent video. hundreds of valves, dials, switches. a true plumbers nightmare! a craft certainly requiring people of small stature
Great job man! Very cool experiance to see inside this beast!!!
First class, great production!
Very cool video lads!
now this is cool! i like it even better because you have permission, seems more relaxing to watch ahaha
top notch chaps....was a joy to watch...keep up the great work lads....
Brilliant Video folks, I really enjoyed that :)
Very interesting. I am off to watch Das Boot and enjoy the claustrophobia of submarine life.
Thankx IKS!!! that was a GEM...
Great set of Sub Vids, very enjoyable, keep up the great work
Excellent! Thankyou
Definitely 1 of my favourite explores, well in the top 10 I think in any case, thanks as always.
Thanks for your support ❤️
Hi Ian, great video,so many different things to look at,i like the original things are how it used to be.
The mysterious control panels with the large hand wheels in the engine room actually control the electric drives for underwater operation. The design is very reminiscent of the type XX u-boat. There is a type XX u-boat at the Deutsches Schiffahrts in Bremerhaven.
dude great video love it !! just look at all the shit in there and every submariner has to know about every bit of it !
It’s not because you can’t release the exhaust underwater, it’s because the engine needs air to burn with the fuel.
You start any subs engines underwater and everyone on board would burst their eardrums from the pressure change of the engine trying to suck air. Of course any good diesel electric has a snorkel that will allow it to breathe submerged down a few meters, but it needs to be deployed.
Great video, love the sub's
#HeartTheFart @ 19:30 :D very cool history thanks for sharing mate cheers :)
Great stuff folks.
very cool
i never realised just how complicated those subs were , seems to be thousands of switches , buttons and valves lol
3:43 That's actually the connecting rod bolted to the crankshaft inside the block view.
Then he asks if it was diesel, Cor blimey talk about a Daft lad.
No crying in this vid! Much better!
This boat looks like a mechanic's nightmare .
What a great watch these sub videos were , it boggles the brain how many gauges switches leavers lights valves there are to operate , imagine being locked in and being told to sail it , where would you begin ?
Rather enjoyed part 2. Very interesting history. It woudn't be an explore if we didnt see Ian squeezing into a tight hole.
very interesting guys i enjoyed that immensely thanks, how many times did you bang your heads
some of the facilities and every sections of this boat are still intact which it means their is a big possibilities to restore and to be over hauled the vessel to become useful once again it will be a bit expensive. but i think it going to be worth it, when this boat has finally can set on sail once again. any way this type of vessel was already a part of the evolution of the Navy submarines not only in Russia were this boat was originated but in the entire world.
Now I know what a well kitted Jefferies tube could look like. Well played.
I Agree with your viewers,a real treat to go in A Sub.WOW CHEERS.
Awesome vid mate.
Good video bro nice
This is vice level good
Great vid Ian. Very interesting and it's hard to wrap my head around how cramped those quarters were for the crew. Thanks for sharing.
The large machines looked like solution computers, early electromechanical devices that would give you the settings needed for your torpedoes.
The mechanism on the head (toilet) is an interlock and seal as the flushing was done by a little water and compressed air.
I love subs. I always imagine life on one of them.

Wow, fascinating, I wonder how many pages there are in the owner's manual !
lots
The big boxes with the wheels behind the engineroom are the generator controls of the diesel generators to regulate the amount of power that is charged to the batteries and/or the electric motors
Thanks so much for the information
Very much appreciated
@@IKS-Exploration U2 very interesting tour .... Did you know that north korea still uses these submarines?
injoyed this 1 folks
At 04:50 you mistakenly mentioned bouyancy control device, while its 'ward Leonard' d.c. motor control device.
@@udayanpaul8042 and the wheel operated a reostat
Nice of John
I believe the red level is the subs pitch as in when a captain calls 15degrees down bubble to submerg the sub or raise the sub
20:17 - looks like the bilge pumps, or maybe emergency trimming equipment. I would not like to have to go in there in an emergency.
the red fluid level looks like the plane indicator for diving, the tanks around 17 mins would either be diesel or ballast by the looks of it, nut ive only seen little bits of russian stuff,
Surprisingly there is a lot of room. Maybe a lot was taken out after decommissioning
4:56 - That's a contactor array. That provides the power control to the electric motors. Look up power control in electric trams. :)
I want to see the bunk rooms, kitchen and chow hall.
They showed a bit more of that in the previous video.
See it wouldn’t be a proper IKS explore without Ian squeezing into a tight hole....
Oh, that's the one near Chatham dockyards I think. Apparently it was in a James bond film.
The bits under the floor would be the fuel tank the bilge pumps and the air system to make the boat go up or down buy flooding with water water in go down air in go up. the boat was diesel electric with all the power comming from the engine on surfice battery when under water
The main buoyancy control was near the plane and rudder control.
they only work if you can flood the tank called netural boyancey filling the tank with air fast was called a emergency surface you can get the same effect with a beer in the bath full the bottle sits down empty it sits on the surface
Those rubber seals/curtains are pulled down just a meter above the floor and secured with chains /ropes to keep an airlock above the opening when the boat is flooded to equalize pressure but maintain air for the waiting crew while opening the hatch and one by one the crew ducks under the curtain to swim to the surface.

Because of the limited time the body is under pressure deeper escapes are possible with less risk of the bends
Again thank you very much
very cooL !
The iks sub, you so need to explore a war ship next? Hms Belfast may let you? Your not exactly amateurs
I think they had to have a back up of everything if one fails they can use the back up system similar to a helicopter
I was thinking exactly the same thing about being an engineer on a sub, it would have been cool to have someone who knows what the stuff is for with you on video
Submariners are a unique breed. The way I heard it from one that I knew, each person who had their own job on the sub had to be able to fill in for almost anyone else, and know it very well.
Todd Metzger very special breed indeed. 👍
Nice they leave all of that lived in stuff on it.
great stuff! should be called folkstrot though ;)
It's a SSK-641 "Foxtrot" class.
Other than the oily room what does it smell like in there. Goulash?
old and submarineish
Didn't know you were a Logi in the RN.
At 1:11 that looks like your seawater valve position indicators.
you can use diesel engines under water they had a snorkel invented by the germans on u boats ,
Right up until you showed the fridge slash freezer I was really wondering where they kept the beef and pork and chicken without it going bad! The kitchen is pretty dam small and for the crew it doesn't seem like it's Big enough to cook for all of those men! The American subs feed their crew better than the rest of the Navy and no one ever talks about whether or not the Russians did the same thing? Let me know if you know? Thanks!
I wonder if you could purchase a old Foxtrot or any other diesel powered submarine?
Should try and find a Russian translator or a submariner whom could tell you how it all works. Very interesting submarine so crude looking boat
Fan flipping tastic.
Russian subs could never be manned by fat westerners...amazing how they could build without computers back in the 60’s. Would take 1000 hrs of training just to get a submariner started. So many valves, gauges, procedures that would have to be learned. Then to make it even more daunting, each person on that sub has to know how to operate everything in times of emergencies. Amazing
Лодка этого проекта стоин, в качестве музейного экспоната, в г. Калининграде.
4:51 electric drive control.
Did you have permission?
The end credits says it all folk :)
I bet the bilge in that sub is very NASTY... Yuck.
No it was nuclear powered piston driven big end crank son, Cor blimey
Good documentation - BUT I only see a death boat. Death electric panels and lamps - nothing is working more. And also the engine is opened and out of function. It’s better to see a boat which is still works and can drive ... why have the private owner not the focus on that big fact as only show a death relict without all functions??
Abandoned.... Hmmm
