K-314 was a nuclear submarine of the Soviet Navy, of the type Project 671 Ерш (Yersh, meaning scorpionfish; also known by its NATO reporting name of "Victor-I" class).
On 21 March 1984, K-314 collided with the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) in the Sea of Japan. The Kitty Hawk was not significantly damaged but the Soviet submarine could not get underway to proceed home for repairs under her own power. The U.S. Navy stayed on scene for two weeks before the Soviets could send out a seagoing tug to bring her home.
