Anatoliy Kolesnichenko. Not one of the real oldies being built in 1985 but interesting never the less. Bunkered Tuesday evening. She has a John Swire funnel logo, and as they charter the 4 Bank Line sisters she might be on the same service. Up anchor Sat afternoon for Panama Canal.

Submarine towed into Portsmouth
Posted: Thursday, May 8, 2008
SSV Carolyn Chouest is the designated support vessel for the United States Navy submarine NR-1. Her mission is to rapidly tow NR-1 to its work site and to carry additional crew, scientists, special materials, and supplies that may be needed to successfully complete NR-1's assignment. She also serves as the land communications link when NR-1 is submerged. NR-1 is a nuclear-powered, deep-submergence submarine, capable of exploring ocean depths to 3,000 feet, which allows access to most of the world’s continental shelves. Displacing just under 400 long tons, she is roughly 1/16th the size of a Los Angeles-class submarine. Although her small size limits the underway crew to a mere three officers and eight enlisted men, the exceptional endurance of her nuclear propulsion plant allows the crew to conduct uninterrupted bottom operations for up to 30 days, restricted only by the food and air purification supplies on board.
