| Russian B-39 Foxtrot in Seattle - School of the Boat Photo |
| Series One: Forward Torpedo Room (Compartment No. 1) |
 |
| Photo #118 shows the PORT side of FTR, the exact opposite of the last photo.
The big grey thing slightly to the right of center is the Oxygen Monitoring
Apparatus. They had some fish that were oxygen driven, and if they leaked, no
one would know until normally inert items became flammable. I have heard they
lost several this way. If you read reports, note the words high oxygen content
and explosive combustion. In this photo you can see all three blowback lines to
the WRT's The item just to left of the centerline of the photo between 1 and 2
blowback lines is emergency bow plane control. The cream and yellow box below
it between lines 2 and 3 is the "Special Hydraulics" for rotating the lower
Sonar array. |
