Echo Class / Project 675
Guided Missile Submarine in pictures

This section is dedicated to pictures of the 'Echo' class submarine.  The pictures are all authentic and were taken at some time when the submarine was in active service.  Most of these pictures were taken by the United States Navy during the Cold War.  Hopefully some Soviet pictures will be made available soon for us to display.

 

An Echo I Submarine at Sea

This picture was taken by the US Navy in September 1975.  The differences between this variant and the Echo II on the main page can clearly be seen.  The photo does not give any indication of where it was taken.

    

An Echo II on the surface

In this rear view of the Echo II details of the missile launch tubes can be made out along with other small features.  This picture was taken by the US Navy at some point during the Cold War.  The photo does not tell when or where it was taken.

    

The Echo II mod

Here we have a view of the modified Echo II.  This version can be most easily noted by the large blister on the side of the tower.  Otherwise it shares the same small hull blisters as the Echo II's.  This photo was taken by the US Navy on 21 June 1980.  No location was given.
