Soviet Atomic Submarines K300 (1995)
Haali reader needed and included

K300; for example:
The K-324 was a Soviet Union Victor III Class submarine in reserve since 1997. It was assigned to the Northern Fleet, stationed out of St. Peterburg / Leningrad.

The Admiralty yard in St. Petersburg, the main producer of Northern Fleet submarines, produced the K-324 in 1979. It was the 7th vessel of the Komsomolsk line.

In 1981, the K-324 collided with an unidentified American submarine of the Los Angeles class, purportedly USS Drum, in the Peter the Great Bay, not far from Vladivostok. The submarine was heavily damaged, to all reports. The United States government denied any of their submarines were in the area, and no US submarine reported any damage during that time period, but the Soviets reported none of their submarines were in the Bay aside from K-324.

On October 31, 1983, frigate USS McCloy snagged K-324 with her towed array 282 miles west of Bermuda, causing damage to the submarine's propeller. The submarine was towed to Cienfuegos, Cuba for repairs by a Soviet salvage ship beginning on November 5.Soviet technicians recovered some parts of McCloy´s array.

The K-324 was again involved in operations around US waters in 1985. She detected American SSBNs on three different times, tailing them for 28 hours. K-324 took advantage of temperature variations in the Gulf Stream. K-324 was in reserve by 1997.

And this was already after the Cold War Period which ended in 1991!
