Sold to the USSR, 1980 (approximately).  When I find the letter
from the builder, I'll try to scan it for you.

I talked with the project manager in about 1988, and he
said all the paperwork concerning the sub had been lost
or given to the buyer.  No plans, no photos .... and the
team that designed and built it were all retired or doing
something totally different.
