Crewmen of the Russian Navy's best diesel submarine Alrosa will celebrate the Submariners' Day in intensive preparations for the Bold Monarch 2011 joint naval exercise to be held off Spain.

The sub was placed in wet dock of Black Sea Fleet (BSF) 13th Ship Repair Plant late in Jan 2011.

According to BSF Submarine Division Commander Capt 1 rank Anatoly Varochkin, quality repair is essential for successful cruise, because the submarine is about to pass the Bosporus and the Dardanelles straits, the Aegean, the Ionian, and the Mediterranean seas for the first time in her service life.

Now it is a rush period for Alrosa crew. Everyone is at work, but most of all – engineering department headed by experienced officer Capt 3 rank Nikolai Kulik. His right-hand man is engine officer Capt Lt Alexander Lukianchuk. Petty officers Dmitry Fomenko, Alexander Glybovsky, Alexander Skobelev work with sleeves rolled up; other sailors have also much work to do.

Recall that the submarine has been under patronage of JSC Alrosa and Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for 13 years. Many social issues were resolved with the patrons' assistance. They improved living conditions and established good sport facilities which were a good contribution to the fourth Navy Commander's Prize recently won by Alrosa.
