The 3 Russian subs in the us are all attractions as are the almost 2 dozen US subs on display through out the country.

The Foxtrot Class in Long Beach was previously leased from the Russian to the city of Sidney Australia and was there for about 5 years. When the lease was up the Russians didn't want it back. A buyer from CA purchased it and brought it to the US on a heavy lift ship. The Foxtrot in Seattle is a sister ship to that one. The other is a Juliet class in Providence, RI.

I have examined the two Foxtrots and tell you I would NEVER dive on one. They are an example of what you can get away with. Even the just post WW II sub I sailed on was superior to these and they were built decades later. I would love see one of their Nucs having sailed one of our Fast Attack boats as well but I don't hold out much hope for ever getting to do that. As to the Project 941 boats, there was only ever 6 built and now half the fleet is being scrapped. I'd pay for that. Our next target is China, they are starting to feel to big for their britches. They never liked the fact they had their clocks cleaned almost everything in Korea by much smaller forces. Now they are starting to snoop around our sub bases at Guam. Foxtrot
