Royal Navy film in which a Soviet Krivak Class frigate is located by an RAF Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft. The Oberon Class diesel-electric submarine HMS Odin (S10) is detailed to intercept and gather intelligence, including close-up photos of the Krivak’s rudder, propellers and hull below the waterline.

    1. Completed a similar exercise when on HMSM Otus (S18) under a Russian trawler. Needed a near on perfect trim and exacting depth control to slide under hull of trawler. Be interested to know if todays boats can be as sneaky as we could ?

    2. I was on ODIN for "part 3" then Canada trip 1979 / 1980. REM Ilett ( SKIPPY) Started collecting ex equipment when OTTER was scrapped in mid 1990s…now a "control room / motor room " walkthrough….was originally in Norfolk, but now at the old north school house, EDAY , ORKNEY and open to public free of charge. Moaned like everyone,….but wouldnt have missed it for worlds. left the RN to spend 6 months on the canals…then return to RN…but never did as i worked the last full time Commercial Narrowboats. I have long memories of ODIN and still have my kit and instruction books and loads of photos. my job was radio and radar, my watchkeeping was in the motor room. The commanders of ODIN at that time were the well known… Lt Com ISH Richards…then Lt Com R Stevens. I wish everyone all the very best….and OSCAR….are you still there ????………….cheers everyone. mike ilett (skippy)

    3. Great videos . I didn't join the RN until 85 but some of the equipment on these videos was still in use. God I miss the mob.

    4. This was incredibly interesting to someone who was in the Royal Marines at this time. I know that technology and the very nature of submarines has changed but the skill level involved here is seriously impressive. Thanks HP

    5. I visited one of these boats when it called in at Milford Haven/Pembroke Dock in 1970 for an open day. I was seven but I can't remember the name of the submarine.

    6. Carried out an underwater look on surfaced tango class Soviet diesel submarine whilst onboard Osiris we were at our limit of 9 to 10 knots any more would have bent the scopes I was uc2 sounded like a chipping hammer on the casing with it's 3 shafts and five blades rotating at over 450 RPM our co was Bob Dixie Dean we sat of the Argentinian coastline for 2 five week patrols in early 83 but that's another story

    7. Did my parts 1 &2 at Dolphin in 1978 and once assigned to a boat, underwater looks would be part of our bread and butter. Always a tightening of the pucker valve doing this.

    8. Old friend of mine was serving aboard HM submarines at that time and through much of the 80's. Even 20 years ago he still wouldn't talk about much of what they did a couple of dozen years before.

    9. Можно подумать наши вас не видели и не слышали!;))) Вам просто разрешили это сделать!;)))))

    10. Just look how far the UK has fallen! Today the RN would be lucky to have 2 SSNs on patrol! They would rather spend money on putting illegals in Hotels! This video reminds us that we were once a strong professional force that could protect our shores! When they scrapped Nimrod we went 11 years without marine patrol aircraft!
