Russia's third Borei-class nuclear-powered strategic submarine, Vladimir Monomakh, has finished state sea trials, the vessel’s builders at Sevmash shipyard announced. The advanced vessel is virtually ready for deployment by the Navy.
"This is basically the last stage of the state trials. Now the submarine's mechanisms will be re-examined, finishing work completed, and spare parts, tools and accessories furnished,’ Mikhail Budnichenko, Sevmash CEO, is cited by Itar-Tass news agency.
According to Budnichenko, the new submarine might be officially handed over to the Russian Navy as early as December 10.
Vladimir Monomakh is the third Borei-class – or Project 955 according to the Russian disambiguation – vessel to be built by Sevmash, based at the Russian White Sea port of Severmorsk.
By 2020, the Russian Defense Ministry plans to have eight Borei-class submarines that should become the backbone of the naval component of the country’s strategic nuclear deterrent.
Each Project 955 submarine, designed by the Rubin Naval Design Bureau from Saint Petersburg, can carry up to 12 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles. The advanced 955As are designed to be armed with 16 SLBMs.
According to the Russian military, Project 955 are state-of-the-art submarines, featuring characteristics superior to any submarine currently in service such as the ability to cruise silently and be less detectable by sonars.
They have a compact and integrated hydrodynamically efficient hull for reduced broadband noise and are the first to use pump-jet propulsion among Russian submarines.
The Alexander Nevsky is the second Borei-class submarine and the first serial Project 955 ship of the Borei Class. It was laid down on March 19, 2004. This is a fourth generation strategic underwater missile cruiser.
