- Alfa SSN was a small but very fast nuclear submarine put to sea by the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. It would run circles around NATO fleets but had many faults of its own. This is the history of the Alfa SSN.

We tracked one in 1986 for about 18 minutes, he went below the layer and that is when we lost him, definitely a loud sub.
Little did the Soviet central planners know that they were designing a submarine for Tom Clancy novels.
A professor I knew was awarded permission to come co-teach at a university in Moscow and this was a dream of his, Russia was his specialty. He got an apartment and needed a washing machine and dryer. He knew buying appliances of any kind in Russia was like nothing anyone in the West would understand. "New" appliances doesn't mean problem free. He asked a Russian friend of his for advice and was given a store and a brand name he should buy. So he did. A month later the machine is kaput, so he calls that friend of his to ask about their apparent misunderstanding. The friend wasn't surprised at all, in fact, he said "...oh, yes, I know they are junk BUT they are very easy to work on."
Bagging the reactor with lead sandbags is a bit like your mechanic tossing you a Nomex suit because your car keeps catching on fire...
”We’re going to kill a friend, Yevgeni. We’re going to kill Ramius.”
We tracked them in the mid-80s in the COLD water at some EXTREME ranges. When they were going fast, they were heard everywhere. They didn't hear a doggone thing around them either.
The Alfa is the single coolest attack submarine ever. It puts the "fast" in "fast attack." Like most things the USSR created, it was more myth than anything else, but still incredible.
One thing I love about you submariners is just how much respect you have for one another. Here you are probably at one point fully expecting to be "shot" at by an Alfa for example and still the presentation in this video about the crew and the vessel is done in such a respecting fashion. Kudos sir, kudos.
That turn rate is something like 25% that of a fighter jet! Pretty impressive. I'm the systems engineering lead for Westinghouse's Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor, so I have a soft spot for this hot rod of a submarine.
The difference is that China is getting richer and richer by the year whereas the U.S.S.R. was not.

I saw countless "documentaries", "science" programs and "historical" presentations about Alfa, with amazing narrators, even Russian-speaking ones. All a big load of s**t.
"You arrogant ass, you've killed us!"
The Alfa deserved her codename. She really was a truly remarkable sub in more ways than one. The moment I saw a picture of the Alfa underwater with its antennas and vents close; looking unbelievably streamlined and smooth, I fell in love.
The "protective covering" over the screw, when in drydock was actually a security measure, to prevent foreign satellites or spy planes from seeing the design of the screw, or at least that's how it was when my boat, SSN 614, was in drydock.
Lightning McQueen: "I am speed"
I have to admit, the Soviets built some innovative, beautiful subs. Is there an explanation why Western subs don’t have rescue escape chambers?
I remember reading an article in the Washington Post about the Alpha's. Apparently the CIA had an operative in the shipyard with special shoes that picked up metal shavings. That is how we learned that Titanium was used for the hull.
I was on a Gearing class Destroyer in 71 doing specops in the Med with the Russian fleet. At one point, we tracked a Russian sub at 27-28 kts (best we could do!) From the lower engineroom, I could hear the sonar pinging off it. We did this for 28 hrs. Then it disappeared! I talked with a sonar guy, he told me they just stopped and headed straight back at us and the closing speed was 72 knots!
