This eerie wreck image is not computer generated. It's the sonar image of Russian nuclear submarine B-159 (called K-159 before decommissioning), which has been lying 248m down in the Barents Sea, between Norway and Russia, since 2003. The Russian Federation hired Adus, a Scottish company that specialises in high-resolution sonar surveying, to evaluate if it would be possible to recover the wreck.

It would appear that "grounded" is a bit of an understatement...

 

[Jade Tigress]

It would appear that "grounded" is a bit of an understatement...

based on the sonar picture and the story I would go more with planted

Agreed that it does look cool...
Still in spite that it was decommissioned ... what it carried inside of it and the intended use... still retains the scary thoughts.
Question is when Soviets decommission a sub presumably the missiles and their warheads are removed before it's headed out to the scrap yard?
