Project 641 (NATO: Foxtrot) was a diesel-electric attack submarine. Design was begun in Oct., 1957 on the prototype. The submarine was propelled by three diesel engines (6000 HP) and three electric motors driving a port, starboard (both motors were 5400 HP) and centerline (electric motor of 2700 HP) propeller shafts. The submarine was capable of a top submerged speed of 16 kts with 4 batteries of 112 cells each. Submarine was equipped with a snorkel for submerged running and battery charging on diesels. Crew was 70, and a total of 62 submarines were built for the Soviet Navy, and 12 for export.
These were the submarines that the US Navy confronted during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Note similiarities of control room to interior of Julliett class SSG (see photos posted under Julliett); also the Foxtrot is very similar interior to Golf SSB.
