Reply to comment by This-Is-Not-Nam in The USSR found something disturbing under the Pacific by MatgamarraAlt3
The teeth were miles apart from each other, I think we descended into the mouth. It was open. But when we tried to leave, it closed and tried to trap us.

Oh... thanks for that clarification. I was going to say that monster had some extremely deep gums. :) Do you remember what kind of sub it was? I grew up in the 80's during the cold war and learned about Soviet and USA subs.
I was thinking it was a Boomer (Typhoon class) but I don't know of any sub in the Russian (or any fleet) that could go down 24km. I think you said 24km? But if the mouth sealed up, maybe the pressure inside the cavity lessened once you entered and you were able to go so deep. Holy crap man, you describing the size of this thing in KM. I was thinking you could probably see it from space.....

Somehow the creature was fooling us, we thought we were going deeper but I think we were actually very close to its mouth. We were using a modified and more compact version of the Typhoon Class, ours was smaller and didn’t have the capacity for carrying missiles, only underwater torpedoes. It was used mainly for recon missions. I think the KGB erased all records of its existence, since I couldn’t find anything about the Zhukov-19

Very cool! Do you think there will be follow up on this expedition? I'd love to read more about it! :)
