#2I was surprised to see the wooden benches in the gym. Except for shoring, I can't recall much wood when I was in the US Navy; fire danger.

Interesting that wood is also sometimes used as a heat shield for spacecrafts returning to Earth, fire danger notwithstanding.

Sure. Why would you want to?

#9I like that it has a full size lathe (how common is that for subs?).
Well and a swimming pool, seltzer water dispenser and the 1980 Soviet sub arcade. I remember that was my favorite arcade game too.

According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon-class_submarine of the 6 built, 3 are scrapped, 2 retired, and 1 in service (though later on that same page it says the last SLBM of the type used was decommissioned in 2012).
Based on the pictures, it definitely doesn't look like in service. Also, seems quite strange if they'd let civilians (?) run around and take pictures of a strategic weapon system in active use..
