- willvarfar 9y agoEarly on they rushed poorly designed submarines out with poorly trained crews and poor leadership. There was also a blame culture eg welding rescue bouys to the hull because if they came loose accidentally then the factory would be punished! This is well described eg in Nat Geo book on K19.

- monocasa 9y agoApparently they also designed heavily for survivability, more so than the American subs. So sounds more like calculated risks.
