contemporary naval jargon

[Jane Costlow]

Colleagues,

    A student of mine is working on a translation of stories by a 
contemporary author whose work is primarily about life in the Russian 
navy (submarine corps).  He's handling the naval terminology and ranks 
fairly well, but the obscenities are a REAL challenge.  Do you have any 
suggestions on pertinent reference works or other sources that might 
help?  (Googling some of these terms is not something I want to do with 
a student by my side!)

Thanks,

Jane Costlow
