Alexander Nevsky (submarine)

Alexander Nevsky was a Soviet genetic submarine, part of the Project 644 class, designed to monitor and potentially attack enemy ships during the Cold War. Built in the 1960s, it combined conventional and nuclear propulsion, allowing for long underwater operations. Its name honors the Russian prince Alexander Nevsky. The submarine was equipped with torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, serving primarily as a strategic deterrent. Over time, it was retired or scrapped as newer submarines replaced its role. Today, Alexander Nevsky represents Cold War-era submarine technology and Soviet naval strategy, emphasizing stealth and surveillance capabilities.
