| The Whiskey class was the NATO reporting name of a class of diesel-electric 
patrol submarines that were built in the Soviet Union. The Soviet designation 
of this class was Project 613.  Construction of the class spanned from 1949 
to 1958 and, as finalized, the boats displaced 1045 tons when surfaced and 1342 
s submerged with dimensions that included a length of 76 meters, a beam of 6,3 
meters, and a draught of 5 meters. A standard crew complement numbered 55 personnel. Propulsion 
was conventional and involved a combination diesel-electric arrangement in which 
the diesel units carried the boat during surface running and the electric motors 
powered the boat underwater. This required the boat to surface to charge its battery 
packs and expel any built-up CO2 gas. Surfaced speeds reached 18 knots and submerged 
speeds fell to 13 knots. Operational range was out to 8580 nautical miles when 
surfaced and 353 miles when submerged - enough provisions were on hand to supply 
the crew on 30 day long patrols. As designed, the Whiskey-class was primarily 
intended for coastal patrolling though its role would expand throughout its service 
tenure.  In terms of armament, the Whiskey-class continued established attack 
submarine tradition by being fitted with 6 x 533mm (21") torpedo tubes arranged 
in four bow (forward facing) mountings and two stern (rear facing) mountings. 
This allowed the frontal four tubes to be used to attack forward targets and the 
pairing at the rear to engage trailing targets. Twelve torpedo reloads were carried 
though this could be substituted with twenty-two naval mines as needed.  Between 
1949 and 1958 a total of 215 submarines of this type were commissioned into the 
Soviet Navy. The Whiskey-class was sold to various Soviet-aligned nations including 
Albania, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Indonesia, North Korea, and Poland. Submarine 
S-67 laid down 19 November 1951 at the Shipyard No.444 named after A.Marti, Nikolaev 
(yard No.382), launched 03 April 1952, commissioned 07 February 1953 and was assigned 
to the Black Sea Fleet. 01 May 1963 the submarine was placed in the reserve 
fleet, in April 1970 was reactivated, but placed in the reserve fleet again.  
22 July 1986 the submarine S-67 was reactivated and converted to the floating 
charge station with rename on 12 November 1986 in to the RZS-576. From 28 May 
1992 she was rename again to the PZS-85. In 1992 she was excluded from the 
lists of the Black Sea Fleet and scrapped in Odessa in 1993. | Specifications |   | Displacement (tons): |   | Surfaced: | 1045 |   | Submerged: | 1342 |   | Dimensions (m): |   | Length: | 76 |   | Beam: | 6,3 |
