Foxtrot-class Submarine

The Soviet Foxtrot class, Project 641, was a large conventional diesel-electric submarine family introduced during the Cold War. Its boats served Soviet and export customers on long patrols, but still depended on batteries underwater and diesel operation for recharging. Foxtrots became widely known through Cold War confrontations, including the Cuban Missile Crisis. Several boats participated in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, operating under severe heat and battery limitations. The class also achieved export service. Its conventional propulsion and torpedo mission distinguish it from the nuclear ballistic-missile submarines that became central to strategic deterrence. Their conventional propulsion required periodic access to air for recharging batteries.
