History — The Real B‑39
The real B‑39 is one of the most well‑known Foxtrot‑Class submarines (Project 641), developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Built for long‑range patrol and surveillance, Foxtrot submarines formed a critical element of Soviet diesel‑electric capability in the 1960s and 1970s. Equipped with multiple torpedo tubes and robust sonar suites, the class was engineered for endurance and stealth.
B‑39 served with the Soviet Pacific Fleet before being decommissioned and ultimately preserved as a museum ship in San Diego, where it remains a tangible link to Cold War naval history. Our model honors that legacy — combining historical accuracy with the refinement expected by collectors and institutions.
