re: #210 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

That went against Soviet state policy, which stated “Any screw-up didn’t happen, any person responsible/involved in said screw-up never existed, and Soviet supremacy is always assured.” Remember, this is the state that gave us the floating nuclear accident.

Indeed. The other part of that was that they pushed out flawed ships long after those ships had been surpassed. It was only late in the game that they started turning out subs that were of real quality.
