Soviet's K222: How The Fastest Sub in History Humiliated the US Navy

In 1971, the USS Saratoga was intercepted by a Soviet submarine traveling at an impossible 44.7 knots (51 mph). It was the K-162 "Anchar" (NATO: Papa-class), the world's first titanium-hulled cruise missile submarine. This Cold War documentary reveals the engineering nightmare behind the "Golden Fish." We explain how the Soviets built airtight shipyards to weld titanium in argon (avoiding Alpha Case embrittlement), and how twin VM-5m reactors generated 80,000 HP to overcome the Cube Law of hydrodynamics. But speed had a price. Learn why the sub was so loud (100 decibels) it created a "self-masking" paradox, how delayed hydride cracking ruined the hull, and why the Soviets refused to fix the reactor after a 1980 accident, leaving the billion-dollar prototype to rot.
