Inside a Russian Submarine in Long Beach, CA

in #smartphonephotography • 6 years ago

These photos are from several years ago before the exhibit was closed. From what I understand there is a lawsuit underway because of the neglect of the submarine. I'm glad we got to see it! Keep in mind that it was very dark inside and difficult to take photos, but I did the best that I could!

I don't really have a lot to say about these images. There were quite literally 100s of gadgets, gauges, knobs, buttons, switches and conduits everywhere you looked. One day I'd like to go back in with a tripod and get some really great images. There are so many great textures!

    Those are some really interesting pictures. It's not as beautiful of a life inside a submarine as they make it to be in movies. Basically, you are trapped in a small capsule underwater with no way to get out.

    Oh yeah, for sure. When I was inside I definitely started to feel a bit claustrophobic. I couldn't even think about being deep under water because I may have started to panic a bit.

      By the way,
      How is the Russian Submarine displayed in Long Beach, CA, USA?

      Lol . I am not sure how it got there. I think someone bought it and put it on display right next to the Queen Mary. It is kind of a side attraction.

      We actually went to Long Beach to see the Queen Mary, but the submarine was a nice bonus.

      Ah..
      I wondered how USA captured Soviet Submarine.
      I thought some situation like the movie 'Red October', 'Phantom', or so.

      But now I can see..

      Yes, after USSR collapsed after a century long Communism experiment has failed,
      Russia sold out many things including AirCraft Carriers etc, and submarine can be one of them.

      Queen Mary is UK ship, I guess, and is now displayed for some time being ?
