NAVY 877 DESIGN SUBMARINE IS A «BLACK HOLE IN THE OCEAN» + Yuri Kormiliteyn * Designer General of the RUBIN Design Bureay One American magazine called the class KILO submarine "a black hole in the ocean’ as it is virtually impossible to detect it via sonar detection gear, because its Noise pattem resembles the natural noise pattern of the sea. This appraisal provid- ed complete support to the forecast of our designers and naval experts, that the class KILO submarine would possess a high degree of concealment. he RUBIN Central GA, AKULA and BARS) under the Now the AUBIN. bureau, Marine-Engineering tection of outstanding Fussian headed by Academician Igor Design Bureau designer |.
