It was reported on the news this morning that the Indian Sindhurakshak submarine that I photographed in Tromsø (09-Feb-2013) experienced two explosions a fire, and sank while docked in Mumbai last night.
Indian Navy Diesel-Electric Submarine INS #Sindhurakshak Docked Next to the Hurtigruten MS Finnmarken in Tromsø. The 16-year-old Russian built submarine was returning from a 2 year upgrade in Russia. This was the first time that I saw a submarine with glass windows in the conning tower.

Remarkable image of a nautical vessel built not to be imaged…, +David Mathre . Sad to think about the seamen who went down a last time with her. All #nauticalwednesday 's crew and sailors will salute them.
