A Soviet Sub in the US of America

Another attraction in the Maritime Meuseum in San Diego is the Soviet B 39 ("Foxtrot" class) Submarine. Before you can enter the submarine, you have to pass through a circle of about 2 feet wide; this alone should tell you that the life inside a submarine is anything but easy. You have to constantly crouch, even when you are sleeping, or be about 5 feet tall (which I don't think any russian navy guy would be) or risk a perpetual bump on your head. Other than that there is an impressive array of instrumentation for a submarine made in 1967. But the most amazing part is that the submarine was decommissioned more than a decade back, and the US of A bought it; so much for Communism and Capitalism.
