Tribute To K-141 Kursk

K-141 KURSK

"The Kursk was part of Russia's Northern Fleet, which had suffered funding cutbacks throughout the 1990s. Many of its submarines were tied and rusting in Andreyeva Bay, 100km from Murmansk.
"Little work to maintain all but the most essential front-line equipment, including search and rescue equipment, had occurred. Northern Fleet sailors had gone unpaid in the mid-1990s because the money went missing before reaching the arctic north.
"The end of the decade brought with it a sort of renaissance with regards to the Northern Fleet.
"On the morning of August 12, 2000, tragedy struck Russian submarine K-141 Kursk. As part of a naval exercise, the Kursk was to fire two dummy torpedoes at the Kirov-class battlecruiser 'Pyotr Velikiy' (Peter the Great), flagship of the Northern Fleet.
"At 11:28 local time (07:28 utc) the torpedoes were fired, but soon after, there was an explosion on the Kursk. The only credible report is that this was due to the failure and explosion of one of the Kursk's new torpedoes.
"All 118 of the Kursk's crew perished aboard her."

Sorry for the long description, but I thought it would be helpful to know the lyrics and, hopefully, a faithful translation. Transliteration and translation were found on the internet.

HYMN TO RED OCTOBER

I wish I was able to attend the funeral ceremony. I know many of my American submarine brothers made the trip and saluted them.

As a member of the US submarine force, I consider them as honored enemies, worthy of tribute. Many a time they tracked us and we tracked them.

To the families of the Kursk, your loss is felt all the way across the Atlantic. Their loss may have been in vain, but they were still submariners, brothers to us all.

[lionmancer9597]

Warriors. Warriors betrayed by their country, a country which they dearly loved and was willing to defend. May they rest in peace, and may God be with their families. May God also help Putin and the others who turned a blind eye to their comrades in times of adversity. Farewell, comrades.

Exactly. The biggest tank battle was fought at Kursk, between German and Soviet armored forces. And the second biggest tank battle was fought in 1940, between Franch and German.
