Looking over posts on this and other forums, one gets the impression that the Soviet Navy was not regarded as being as necessary for the security of the Communist Party as the Army. This could explain the differences with the Red Army viewpoint, in other words, not being necessary to maintain power, the Navy got the rejects.
Its also of intrest that the SSBNs seemed to have a better than average crop of political officers.
