That's a diesel sub. What is it doing there?

Was it used for a movie?

There is a website about it he http://www.sovietsub.co.uk/ although it
has been moved from Folkestone since that site was last updated. Apparently
undergoing restoration here before being moved to Dublin.

Those must be tourist windows right? No one would do that for real.

FYI; I found some new Chinese Boomers on this site today, but it seems
to have all kinds of hardware, planes etc. You have to look around for
the Subs.

See more on the "windows" (including a close up pic) at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_B-39

Also, in a scene during the movie 'Hunt for Red October' the crew is
steering the boat when surfaced from behind the upper windows and not
at the exposed top of the conning tower as in western boats.

Interesting shot. With all the windows, maybe it's been converted to a
condominium.
