Alfa Class / Project 705 (Lira)
Nuclear Powered Attack Submarine

 

This section is dedicated to pictures of the 'Alfa' Class nuclear powered attack submarine.  The pictures are all authentic and were taken at some time when the submarine was in active service.  We have a mix of photographs from both the United States Navy and from modern Russian sources for you to see here.

 

The Alfa Underway

Here is a rather poor quality photograph of an Alfa class submarine running on the surface.  Despite its quality its periscopes and sensors can still be seen.

  

Decommissioned Alfa Submarines

In this picture you can see two of the remaining Alfa class submarines of the Northern Fleet as they sit in port waiting to be dismantled.  This picture was taken sometime in 2000.
