PR Hype Hid the Obvious ctet --- Until Now Hype examples: "Severodvinsk submarine already causes hea


Thoughts to excite, alarm or foil paradigms, senses of humor, and imagination although not always in that order. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself ctet and you are the easiest person to fool." -Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics 1965.
PR Hype Hid the Obvious ctet --- Until Now Hype examples: "Severodvinsk submarine already causes headache to Pentagon"   Hype source 1 "The submarine is the first in a fleet of eight new Yasen class submarines... The K-329 outstrips the technology of rival submarines used by the British and American navies, and has been compared with the high-tech submarine that was taken over by a rogue Russian captain in the 1990 film The Hunt for Red October, starring Sean Connery."  Hype source 2 Realistic threat can be found in M.E.'s discussion of K-329's supersonic Onyx missiles (see June link above). Jewel of Russia'a Northern Sub Fleet or Latent Tragedy for Her Crew? October ctet 12, 2013 - Russian Navy *STILL* doesn t want to accept delivery of the K-329 Severodvinsk "The phrase plagued with problems doesn t even begin to cover it. ... BarentsObserver s reporting about delivering of Severodvinsk is becoming a multiple- year row of headlines entitled ready by year-end. The submarine, of which the construction started 20 years ago, was originally scheduled for commissioning in 1998. Eleven years later, the plan was to deliver the sub in 2010. Rescheduled to 2011. Rescheduled to 2012. Rescheduled to 2013. And today, a new dispute between the builder and the navy about the sub s readiness has emerged." June 19, 2014 - Russia Just Finished Submarine It Has Spent 20 Years Building Consider that the contract to build another lead ship of her class, USS Thresher ctet (SSN-593) , had been awarded to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in January 1958, she was launched on 9 July 1960, and commissioned August 1961. The learning curve was retroactive to the Thresher tragedy.  M.E. wishes no tragedy on any Russian sub crew.  After 20 years of intervening design modifications, supplier shifts and transitions in responsible management, oversights and shortcuts must be expected as quality control ctet headaches ctet .  We hope that sea trials for K-329 Severodvinsk (not to be confused with the ill-fated K-129 ) have been thorough and totally successful! Submarines are always silent ctet and strange.
Hi Vigilis I suspect Russian scientists, technicians and construction funds went AWOL for 20 years - post 1991. Only Uncle Putin's smiling face and Sean Connery's acting can save the mighty Red Sub fleet. Enjoy http://youtu.be/KxcP7TRY178 Regards Pete
