Nuclear sub ready for sailing
01.02.2008
The Zvezdochka shipyard and mechanical plant in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk Oblast, has completed a six-year long upgrade of the nuclear submarine K-117 “Bryansk”.
The submarine, which was constructed in the late 1980s, docked in Severodvinsk for repair and upgrades in 2002. After the repairs, the submarine is better equipped for surveillance and discovery of enemy subs, company press spokesman Yevgenii Gladyshev says. He also maintains that nuclear security on board has been significantly improved.
The 167 meter long Delta IV submarine has Gadzhievo in the Kola Peninsula as its home base.
