Victor Class / Project 671 |
 |
This section is dedicated to pictures of all variants of the 'Victor' class nuclear powered submarine. The pictures are all authentic and were taken at some time when the submarine was in active service. All 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.

Running on the surface Here we have a Victor III submarine cruising along the surface. Water can be seen streaming out of the many free flood holes running down the length of the hull. The large blister for the towed sonar array can also be seen at the top of the tail fin. This picture was taken on 31 March 1989. |
An Overhead View This picture of a Victor class submarine was taken by a US Navy F-14 equipped with a TARPS recon pod. It clearly shows hull panels, hatches, antennae, and other features of the vessel. |
