The Wreck of Komsomolets - A Soviet Submarine, Lost to Icy Depths

From the Second World War and early Cold War, to the end of the Cold War. In today's video, we'll be looking at the wreck of the Soviet Submarine K-278. A sinking that is still a bit of a mystery, in exactly what caused it. And one that is infamous for how much of an accident it truly was.
The wreck is also infamous, because of potential radiation leakage. It was concerns about this that led to a joint Norwegian-Russian expedition in 2019. This not only checked up on radiation, but also gave us quite a spread of pictures to look at.
Which will be covered, in this video.

That probably isn't missing hull plating in the last photo, but rather anechoic tiles. They are basically rubber tiles that cover the exterior of submarines to dampen noise and reduce sonar signature. It's not uncommon for some of them to fall off during normal operation so those may well have been missing before the submarine was lost.

According to the surviving crew the rear compartment fire got so hot it was melting the glue that held the tiles to the sub and they were coming off as the rear section bubbled from the heat

Considering that the stern has minimal to no damage I would surmise that the boat switched on the way down and struck the bottom bow first, which would explain the damage to the bow section. That "Piping" you refer to looks like a compressed gas tank, probably knocked out of that peeled back area in the hull (It looks like there is another one inside that area). A very interesting wreck, thanks.

Sir, Not a bad video. K-278 sunk while I was on active duty. Pretty familiar with the 'MIKE' class. The 'torpedo' shaped opening in the deck was believed to be a storage nest for a deployable floating buoy communications device. This is similar to a buoy used by U.S. ballistic missile subs. As for the condition of the bow, which is the first I've of it, I would believe that compressed air bottle used as part of the main ballast tank blow system may have ruptured when the ship hit bottom. Possible a weapon detonated, though I think this much less likely.

@burnttoast111 2 ай бұрын

"deployable floating buoy communications device" I suspected that is what it is. Glad to know I wasn't way off.

@sasasasa-lx6cl 2 ай бұрын

The 'torpedo' shaped opening in the deck is one of the EPRON (Ekspeditsia Podvodnyx Rabot Osobogo Naznacheniya or Expedition of Special Submarine Works) hatches. It is marked in white for high-vis and probably was intended to supply drowned boat with compressed air. Floating comm devices should be further back in the sail. Officially the boat struck the bottom nose first, that explains the damage, then was another shock when it became flat. The second shock released the VSK (emergency capsule) which was stuck all the way to the bottom (diving nose first, remember?)

@RichieWellock 23 күн бұрын

yeah its was not a detonation as the outer and inner pressure hulls are buckled inwards as to a implosion when it reached maximum pressure depth. As you know pressure is huge down there and it had expelled its recommended max depth by about 3 times. I bet the skipper wanted to go down with it rather than face the communist music.

I was a US Submariner serving at the time of the loss of the Mike boat. The damage at the bow is probably from the impact with the bottom when she sank. While we were on opposite sides we always had respect for our Submariner Brothers. Sadly the Soviets did not consider safety an important factor when building their boats like the US did. I served on a Thresher/Permit class boat which triggered an incredible amount of safety being built into our boats. RIP Brothers.

A good reason for the lack of a catastrophic implosion is the simple fact that the sub flooded from the water pouring in from the screw. And the deeper it went, the faster that water flooded throughout the pressure hull. It wouldn't have mattered whether the bulkheads were secured, the water would have made it's way through the interior due to it's pressure alone. I would surmise that all the spaces within the sub completely flooded long ago, which would have negated a possible implosion.

@RichieWellock 23 күн бұрын

the screw would leak in but this would be at a rate as air would require to push out , slowing its decline but filling. water tight compartments would be secured which would lead to a area that could implode even though the screw to say the fin was already flooded. the implosion photo is quite conclusive showing both inner and outer hull metal flooding inwards

@robinwells8879 3 ай бұрын

Looks like some penetration of the hull outer plates was made post sinking to expose and remove some of the high pressure air or hydraulic system storage vessels beneath to gain access to systems beneath. The venting looks like warm water escaping passively by thermo-syphon from the reactor cooling system as intended. This as a result of its lower density, looks smokey. There will be little hull implosion as the vessel flooded progressively as a result of fire compromising the electrical hull penetration gland packing. It would be intumescent but only to a point. So strange to me that so little effort was made to eliminate sources of combustible material from construction. Even a minor hp steam leak can set fire to paper and the like. They used to use cigarette papers to locate steam leaks because they would instantly catch light on contact with invisible steam jets. HP steam is invisible water vapour and nothing like the stuff coming out of your kettle at home.

A thought on the bow damage where the ‘tear’ in the plating is, consider a flat bottom, maybe better illustrated as a ruler standing on edge making a ‘flat bottom’, two thoughts: take a pencil and lay the flat ruler edge on the perpendicular pencil, located beneath the damage section, second, pencil in the same location but buried in the mud. As the sub impacted the ocean bottom, the section above the pencil might have ripped open as the weight of the bow, forward the pencil location, impacted the bottom. Perhaps a rock or rocky outcropping would replace the ‘pencil’ in the illustration. In the second scenario, the submarine main section impacting the bottom first, then striking the ‘pencil’ (or rock) would have forced the bow section up wrinkling the area above the pencil first, then the weight of the bow would then impact the bottom with the same result as scenario one, where the ‘wrinkled’ section already weakened, would then be torn open. I found it difficult to find the right words to express both scenarios so I did the best I could. My apologies if the description is difficult to understand because of my inability to find the words to best describe the damage as the submarine struck the bottom.

Great video thanks. I agree it looks like the torpedo room at the bow was probably sealed when the sub sank- that would make sense under the circumstances and explain why the bow imploded while the rest of the sub remained largely intact because it was flooded at that point. The heavy piping on the deck does not look like part of the original sub- more likely part of an original Soviet plan to encase the hull or maybe even raise it??

The tragedy was the medical officer was in charge of the men on the deck sat in life boats had hours to order donning of survival suits. By time they realised the men had been exposed too long and couldn’t put suits on as too cold. Crazy how deep diving the sub was. Designed to shoot at convoys then escape by deep diving below what our torpedoes could submerge to. This and the Papa (built to outrun our torps) were just too expensive to build so were lone examples.

The "piping on the deck" you note at 8:04 looks like a high pressure air flask used used for emergency main ballast tank blow system. Damage to the bow likely caused by impact with the sea bed. Those flasks are mounted outside of the pressure hull, so they probably broke loose during said impact.

First off, I'm not an expert on subs. But the piece that broke loose on the deck next to the emergency buoy might be the end of a cabled antenna used for communication while the sub is still submerged. It's reeled out for communication, and then reeled back in when not needed. I don't know if Mike (the NATO name for this boat) had this or not, so I could be wrong.

Given the loss of K-219 three years before, in a somewhat similar incident (fire on board while submerged), it makes clear the lack of any emphasis in the Soviet Navy on safety and learning from past incidents. At least the US Navy tried to learn lessons from their accidents, to prevent future losses from similar incidents

That damage, along with the cylindrical thing is clearly visible in the sonar image beginning at 6:17. It is obvious to me, that while the boat may have, as you stated, initially gone down stern first, it hit the bottom bow first which caused all of the buckling observed there.

The screw arrangement is strange: Those are not contra-rotaing props, they turn the same direction. What was the purpose of that? Limiting sound by turning them slowly at different rotating speeds? Increasing acceleration thrust while having fixed pitch for max speed? I have never seen solution like that before, because it must create a huge torsional problem that varies constantly. If they are just a "biplane" arrangement, that they are fixed together, that will create huge prop surface area and thrust, but I can not imagine the acoustic effect it creates at speed. It sure allows the prop to turn slower, but again, creates huge force that tries to list the sub. And, compared to "normal" props, they look like they are on backwards.

I was on USS Florida SSBN 728 launched in the early 80s. The US had only lost two nuclear powered Subs ever from 1955 to 1968. The new Thresher in 1964 off of NE on sea trials from faulty Valves with all hands lost. This instituted the Sub Safe program. The Scorpion was lost in 1968 of the Azors after a prolonged deployment to the Med and a final assignment to check out a rapid Soviet flotilla that turned out to be a downed sub they kept secret. Soviet communist never officially fail at anything and never admit it when they do. They have lost so many modern Subs since WW2 the oceans are littered with them. Kursk was the most recent in the 2000s. There will be more. Safety is not a big priority.

They are painted.

Russians finding their own subs seem to be a tricky task for themselves you’d think they would fund their own SRV for these situations and not rely on NATO

Damage on bow was due to crash to the seabed rather than implosion

I watched U571 multiple times somewhat intoxicated. I agree.

Looks like a TK-208 or Typhoon class to me. More so the Typhoon. Especially with that escape hatch. Speaking of which: What happened to the crew and the escape hatch? If it jettisoned then where’d they go and what happened?

It was a one off sub designed for being the deepest diving naval submarine which is a record it still holds to this day,so they took out the escape hatches less holes less chance of water getting in the only way out was through the sail. Check out Sub Brief with Aaron he's far in-depth

Contra-rotating propellers...

@stephensanchez3982 3 ай бұрын

Not contra-rotating. You can see the blade angles are similar so they would rotate in the same direction. The Soviets employed a similar setup on the Victor III subs.

A little narration tip for you. Read words the same way you'd speak them in normal conversation. Such as "a" and "the." The you really pronounce "the" as "thee" and "a" as a long "ay" in everyday conversation?
