Nuclear-powered submarine Nerpa is completing sea trials and will be delivered to the Navy as scheduled, reported Roman Trotsenko, the head of United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) at meeting with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

"Project 518, nuclear-powered submarine Nerpa is presently finishing sea trials at Pacific Ocean. According to our expectations, the sub will be delivered to the Navy at the stated time, he said.

Russian defense ministry previously reported that in Feb the submarine would pass additional trials to eliminate defects found last year during state trials.
