List of lost Russian or Soviet submarines
- List of lost Russian or Soviet submarines
These Russian or Soviet submarines either suffered extensive crew casualties or were entirely lost to enemy action or to "storm or perils of the sea." A dagger (†) indicates that the boat was lost.
This list is known to be incomplete; for instance, it does not include the first NATO-designated "Alpha" submarine, whose liquid-metal-sodium-cooled reactor had a major failure that resulted in the reactor compartment being towed to sea, discarded and abandoned.
According to the U.S. Navy, "The former Soviet Union secretly disposed of about 16 submarines by sinking them in the northern oceans." [http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=127851&ran=48578&tref=po]
