Didn't the Soviets have an underground sub base in the Black Sea? Think I've seen tours advertised for it.

Yes, they did - it's in Ukraine, and there are several photos of it on the English Russia blog - parts of it are converted into a museum.Sweden has a very large underground naval base also, on the island... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Pengolodh) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/sreply/78352 Sun, 04 May 2008 02:28:59 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Telegraph China Builds New Secret Submarine Base ]]> http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/reply/78351/t/Telegraph-China-Builds-New-Secret-Submarine-Base.html#reply-78351 Didn't the Soviets have an underground sub base in the Black Sea?

There they are identified as 11 tunnels for site entry and excavation. One photo shows a tunnel some way from the sea with an ordinary road going into it so I remain sceptical that these are multiple underground submarine pens to hide a secret fleet of SSBNs. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Nathan) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/sreply/78287 Sat, 03 May 2008 12:45:12 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Telegraph China Builds New Secret Submarine Base ]]> http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/reply/78241/t/Telegraph-China-Builds-New-Secret-Submarine-Base.html#reply-78241 Also why just one tunnel entrance

Interesting comparison of that base with Faslane- not only does it have underground sub pens, but the boats can go deep much earlier due to the bottom rapidly falling away.



Aren't underground submarine pens also traditionally a bit more, well, wet? How are the submarines to get into that high and dry tunnel?
