I've used the name "Submarine U-475 Black Widow" for this page, as I don't know what the original name was. If anyone has a source with the original designation this page should probably be moved to "Soviet submarine B- (whatever)" in line with all the other submarine pages.

It would not have had a name while in service with the Soviets, just a hull number. We should choose something that conforms with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships). Originally this would have been "Soviet submarine U-475" but it is no longer a Soviet submarine and I think now "Black Widow" is the more commonly known name, and the one used at [1] and painted on the conning tower. We can't just use "Black Widow", so I suggest we go with Black Widow (submarine). Kendall-K1 ( talk) 13:59, 17 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Saw the submarine to Margate away and it intrigued us. Come on you Dulwich 185.104.136.50 ( talk) 13:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
