The huge attack submarine had been part of the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. They used it to train Indian, Libyan, and Cuban submariners. It was commissioned in 1967 and categorized as Soviet Project 641 class submarines, but the Western forces called it Foxtrot. In 1994, it was decommissioned and acquired by private individuals before they were taken to an English public museum ship. Four years later, it was on display in Folkestone. At the moment, it awaits restoration in Strood, England.

Foxtrot Or Zulu V Class B-80

You might be surprised to hear that they repurposed a navy attack sub into a party vessel! This was what happened to the Soviet Zulu V class B-80 submarine, which was part of the Soviet Project 611. The post-war attack vessel was later renamed Foxtrot and taken to the Maritime Quarter in Amsterdam North. It was in the middle of the harbor because sub enthusiasts wanted to bring it to the Netherlands. Initially used as a museum ship in Den Helder before it was converted into a party venue. How cool is that?
