Jim Katen Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Apparently, the Soviet navy spared no expense when outfitting their submarines in 1967. Click to Enlarge 82.21 KB Click to Enlarge 62.7 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I find it odd that the panel is labeled in English in a Soviet submarine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I find it odd that the panel is labeled in English in a Soviet submarine! Well, it's no longer a Soviet submarine. It's a floating museum in San Diego. I was there last fall and had some time to kill, so I toured some of the boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is a Canadian Federal Pioneer.That is the popular colour for late 60's and younger FP breaker panels. It looks like the other j-boxes came from the same supplier. Can we call that a Sub panel? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Canada was supplying the Soviets with electrical panels during the cold war? Can we call that a Sub panel? [] Probably one of the few that we'll ever see.

John Kogel Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 So, Canada was supplying the Soviets with electrical panels during the cold war? The secret plan was that one depth charge would shake all the breakers out of the Rusky sub panel and the good guys would win. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
