About this audio guide
This guide to the U-Boot Museum Hamburg walks through life aboard B-515, a Soviet Tango-class spy submarine built at the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard and made operational in 1976, where eighty-six sailors shared bunks in rotation and just two toilets doubled as showers. It traces the boat's covert patrols under the Soviet Northern Fleet and the escape-hatch risks built into missions that went deeper than those hatches could safely handle. Squeeze through the narrow round hatches, sized for a crew rarely taller than five foot four, and picture the shift-work that kept every bed warm.
