How a Russian submarine surfaced near the Statue of Liberty

Hello ATC! Today I will tell you a very funny story, which at the same time almost served as the beginning of a nuclear war.

So! The Russian submarine "Borey" once accidentally surfaced next to the Statue of Liberty in America and unleashed fear on all the inhabitants of the country. Tourists strolling around Manhattan were very surprised to become unwitting witnesses of this situation. Only an hour after the accidental appearance of the Russian ship, the news feeds were full of articles about the emergency invasion, and the Americans were in real horror from what had happened.

But how could this happen? It turned out that the American tracking system simply could not record the movement of the Russian submarine and missed the moment of the submarine's invasion of American waters. But this was not a spy loophole that was so easily accomplished. It turned out to be an absurd accident. In fact, the submarine's navigation devices simply broke, and the commander could not navigate the terrain. He had to give the order for the ship to surface, just to determine where exactly their crew is now.

When the Russian General Headquarters received a radiogram about the location of the vessel, everyone was surprised, because a photograph of the Statue of Liberty and tourists walking around Manhattan was attached to the report. The Russian authorities asked the Americans not to consider this situation as a response to the regular approach of US Navy submarines to the borders of the Russian seas. True, Russia still received benefits from this case. Thanks to a random situation, it was possible to find out that the American fixing services are not able to determine the location of some types of Russian submarines that carry cruise missiles, including those with nuclear warheads. At the same time, it is possible to fix the unreliability of the positioning systems of Russian submarines.

I present to you a video clip of this case. The video is in Russian. but you can go to the "Settings" section of this video, select "Enable subtitles" and then "Translate" and select English, and get English subtitles.



How fragile our world is (((

Thanks.

Another great thread RussianTroll.

My face turned red with embarrassment))))

I chuckled, it's a bit of levity in that event that is very easy for people to relate to -- all of us have become lost traveling, we've either looked utterly silly for it, or sometimes accidentally made the locals apprehensive/nervous with our unfamiliar presence (I'm sure any village/town of a very tiny population in Russia would react similarly, wouldn't they?)

A sub doing it is just the right kind of funny -- we've all been there! Maybe not in a sub itself, but we've all stopped along the way somewhere at some point and said, "Where the hell are we??" It's probably whole different kind of embarrassment for any country's military, though

Do you remembe the news story of a few decades back of a mysterious submarine running aground off Stockholm harbour? It sat there for days with nobody claiming ownership, and the Swedes wondering what to do. I can't remember what happened in the end.

Of course you're right. But frivolity, perhaps, will somehow soften the degree of confrontation. If you watch the video on this thread with English subtitles, there are several more similar cases described there. And at the end it is told about how the commander of a Soviet submarine, who penetrated into San Francisco, but was discovered and escaped the pursuit. showing his buttocks at the end of his pursuers, years later he was greeted in America by US Navy veterans, who presented him with a photo where he shows these buttocks.
This indicates. that we can end up treating each other as a friend and even with humor))))

Of course, I remember this incident and some others like it. As it turned out later, the Swedes mistook a school of fish for a Russian submarine, which were emitting gas bubbles. Laughter stood on both shores of the Baltic Sea)))))

Sorry, but I'm going to have to raise the BS flag on this story!

The water depth in the Hudson River around the Statue of Liberty is 62 feet at its deepest point, hardly deep enough to accommodate a full sized nuclear submarine.

The draft of a "Borei" class submarine is 32 feet at the surface. Even if the sub was scraping the bottom of the Hudson it wouldn't be able to fully submerge at this location.

I mean, right Clay?

As absurd a claim as some German fellow landing a private airplane in Red Square!

You can raise any flags. Google to help you. The internet is full of reports of this incident.

Of course, I can do research and prove to you that the depths allowed the penetration of a submarine, especially since this was not the only case. But I see in your comment a desire to false flag the discussion. Therefore, I will not enter into the topic of discussion proposed by you. I know the methods of trolling.

Of course, my friend.
March 27, 2014. This date is in the video)))

By the way, conspiracy theorists can say that at that time a referendum was being held on the independence of Crimea and its reunification with Russia. And this incident served as a warning to the United States against rash steps. This is a completely viable option))))

Far more likely they sailed partially submerged, under cover of darkness, into the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty to make a political statement to the West.

Sorry, but no competent Captain of a multi-billion dollar advanced nuclear submarine would knowingly sail his boat into water that shallow. He would be relieved of command immediately and likely spend the rest of his life in the Russian far east!

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

They did say system failure(navigation devices simply broke) caused them to have to surface thus determine location.

Still not finding anything. Sorry, but sounds like a sea story.

This is just the personal opinion of an ordinary ATS user. who suddenly decided to put himself in the place of the commander of a nuclear submarine and generals of the General Staffs of the United States and Russia))))

I beg your pardon!!

I will have you know, I am the former Captain of the nuclear submarine, Red Oktober. I defected to the West seeking political asylum, and took my sub with me.

(I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night...and the night before).

Marine history. my friend, this is the version announced today of the collision of a Connecticut submarine with a certain sea mountain, which is not mapped, no one has seen it before, especially 70 kilometers from a Chinese naval base in an area where American submarines have been walking with their eyes closed for decades. ))))

a reply to: RussianTroll

No idea what the US sub hit in the Pacific. Could have been terrain, a drone, another sub. Substantial damage in any case.

But I'm finding no reports for a Russian sub by New York City in 2014. I'm calling it a sea story until I see further reports.

Cheers
