Well, it's no longer a Soviet submarine. It's a floating museum in San Diego. I was there last fall and had some time to kill, so I toured some of the boats.

I believe that is a Canadian Federal Pioneer.

That is the popular colour for late 60's and younger FP breaker panels. It looks like the other j-boxes came from the same supplier.

Can we call that a Sub panel? []

You are correct. In the high-res version, I can see the words Federal Pioneer Stab-lok.

So, Canada was supplying the Soviets with electrical panels during the cold war?

The secret plan was that one depth charge would shake all the breakers out of the Rusky sub panel and the good guys would win. []
