''K-77'' was a "Project 651" (also known by its NATO reporting name of ) cruise missile submarine of the Soviet Navy. Her keel was laid down in the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard in Gorky on 31 January 1963. She was launched on 11 March 1965, and commissioned on 31 October 1965 into the Northern Fleet. ''K-77'' was built later in the Juliett class, so her hull was conventional steel and her battery was of the conventional lead-acid type, rather than the austenitic steel and silver-zinc batteries used in the first Julietts. ''K-77'' was also used as the set for the motion picture ''K-19: The Widowmaker'', starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. == Career == The details of ''K-77''’s career remain largely unknown. Juliett-class submarines were used to follow United States Navy aircraft carrier battle groups in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Circumstantial evidence indicates that ''K-77'' often patrolled the Mediterranean, off the coast of West Africa, and at least once in the Caribbean Sea near the United States Virgin Islands. Papers found aboard her during inspection in Helsinki suggest that she had shadowed Norwegian s. At some point in her career, ''K-77'' (the K standing for крейсерская, ''kreyserskaya'' — "cruiser") was redesignated ''Б-77'' (the Б standing for большая, ''bolshaya'' — "large"). In 1987, ''K-77'' was withdrawn from the blue-water Northern Fleet and transferred to the Baltic Fleet. The redesignation and transfer could easily be related. The Soviet Navy began withdrawing the Julietts from active service in 1988. ''K-77'' was decommissioned sometime after 1991, and by the end of 1994, all Julietts had been retired. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soviet submarine K-77」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
