This probably started the gash in the hull above the torpedo section. So what happened on board the Kursk? The likely chain of events was something like this: A hydrogen peroxide leak started a fire, which in turn detonated the Type 65-76A’s 900-pound high-explosive warhead. Leakage of 50 percent peroxide onto supporting pallets under polythene sheeting led to spontaneous ignition and a fierce fire.” The Fateful Moments Combustion, though limited in area, was fierce and took some time to extinguish. National Library of Medicine (NLM) “hydrogen peroxide is not itself flammable, but can cause spontaneous combustion of flammable materials and continued support of the combustion because it liberates oxygen as it decomposes.” In one instance recorded by the NLM, “leakage from drums of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide onto a wooden pallet caused ignition of the latter when it was moved. The danger was that this chemical compound can become explosive if it comes into contact with organic compounds or a fire.Īccording to the U.S. Like many torpedoes, the Type 65-76As used hydrogen peroxide as underwater fuel. A Granit could carry a 1,653-pound conventional high-explosive warhead (enough to damage a carrier) or a 500-kiloton warhead (enough to vaporize an aircraft carrier with a single hit). The missiles had a top speed of Mach 1.6, a range of 388 miles, and used the now-defunct Legenda satellite targeting system to home in on their aircraft carrier targets. Each submarine carried 24 P-700 Granit missiles, which themselves were each the size of a small plane-33 feet long and weighing 15,400 pounds each. The Oscar IIs were big because they carried big missiles. Such power gave them a top speed of 33 knots underwater. To keep up with American nuclear-powered carriers, the Soviet subs were each powered by two OK-650 nuclear reactors that together provided 97,990 shipboard horsepower. The Oscar IIs were 508 feet long with a beam of nearly 60 feet and displaced 19,400 tons, twice as much as a destroyer. The subs, nicknamed “Oscar II” by NATO, made up a large class of nuclear-powered boats designed to kill large ships-particularly aircraft carriers. The Antey -class submarines were one such solution. As a result, the USSR spent enormous sums on weapon systems meant to hunt down American carriers in wartime. The Soviets saw American carriers as both delivery platforms capable of launching thermonuclear airstrikes against the motherland, and as hunters of the USSR’s own nuclear ballistic missile fleet. One of the Soviet Union’s biggest worries during the Cold War was America’s fleet of aircraft carriers. But here’s the real story of the doomed sub.
KURSK SUBMARINE DISASTER HD MOVIE
Kursk-a movie based on the disaster, starring Colin Firth, came out in 2018. 🎖 Don’t miss our best-in-class military coverage. An international rescue team assembled to save the sailors, but was unable to reach them in time.
A huge explosion sank the giant nuclear-powered submarine Kursk, killing most of its crew and stranding nearly two dozen survivors hundreds of feet underwater. In 2000, one of the worst peacetime submarine accidents ever took place off the coast of Russia. Photo credit: Antoine Gyori - Getty Images
