10. Kursk Accident

One of the most famous submarine disasters of the 20th century, Kursk was a nuclear-powered Oscar II class submarine taking part in the first major Russian naval exercise in more than 10 years.

Located in the Barents Sea, one of the most hospitable places on earth, Kursk had recently won a citation for its excellent performance and been recognised as having the best submarine crew in the Northern Fleet.

Fully-loaded with a complement of conventional combat weapons, the sub had a mythical standing and was said to be unsinkable, even from a direct torpedo strike.

That reputation was blown apart on the 12th August 2000 when the crew initiated a torpedo launch using dummy torpedo’s.
