Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center (Severodvinsk) launched the last Project 667BDRM Delfin nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) K-407 Novomoskovsk undergone interim overhaul and modernization, reports ITAR-TASS. The submarine has been under repairs at the shipyard slipways since Apr 2007. Novomoskovsk will start mooring and sea trials in the nearest future.

Totally, over one hundred systems were modernized, including the missile arms. The submarine is armed with submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) R-29RMU2 Sineva adopted in 2007.

SSBN Novomoskovsk serves within Northern Fleet (NF) 3rd strategic submarine flotilla and is based in Yagelnaya Bay. This is the sixth Delfin class submarine upgraded by Zvezdochka.

After delivery of Novomoskovsk, modernization of all Project 667BDRM submarines will be completed.
