Soviet Submarines Were Unhinged

During the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union stunned the world with two of the most radical submarine designs ever conceived: the Alfa and Typhoon class submarines. One was built for blistering underwater speed using titanium hulls and liquid metal reactors. The other was a floating nuclear fortress—the largest submarine ever built, capable of launching Armageddon from beneath the Arctic ice. This documentary dives deep into the story behind these engineering marvels. Discover how Soviet engineers pushed the limits of technology, why Western navies were terrified of these undersea predators, and what made them so difficult—and dangerous—to build. From the blistering performance of Project 705 (Alfa) to the unprecedented scale of Project 941 (Typhoon), this is the story of ambition, secrecy, and the race for underwater supremacy. Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!
