Extra awesome bonus point: When they were first testing their rockets, they used their submarine as a tow/tug for their launch platform. Yeah, these guys are crazy awesome.
Since they had the submarine, rocket and it's perfectly legal to launch in international waters, they talked about just putting the rocket in/on the submarine and be done with it.
... until someone pointed out that building a submarine with ballistic missiles and playing with it in Russia's back-yard probably is a very bad idea.
