OREANDA-NEWS. June 29, 2010. In Severodvinsk a new generation nuclear-power submarine “Severodvinsk” will be floated out. It has been constructed at Sevmash since 1993. The Navy will get the novelty upon completion of tests in 2011. Six more ships of the same type are to be built.

The submarine has no analogues not only in Russia but in the world: a high-resistance steel hull, a buoyant emergency camera for the whole crew, the new Ajax sonar system, eight missile launchers, supersonic cruise missiles and all-purpose deep-water self-guided torpedoes. The full load weight is 8.6 – 9.5 thousand tons.
