cruiser belongs to fourth-generation nuclear-powered submarines
MOSCOW, November 15. /TASS/. The strategic Project Borei-A lead nuclear-powered submarine Prince Vladimir armed with ballistic missiles will be floated out on November 17 in a launch ceremony at the Sevmash Shipyard in Severodvinsk in north Russia, Navy spokesman Captain 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said on Wednesday.
"After leaving the slipway, the nuclear-powered
underwater missile cruiser Prince Vladimir will undergo all the stages of
shipbuilders’ and state trials that will be arranged by the Sevmash Shipyard’s
delivery team and the sub’s crew under the command of Captain 2nd Rank
Vladislav Druzhin," the spokesman said.
Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Vladimir Korolyov
has said that the upcoming float-out of the submarine Prince Vladimir is an
important practical step in the efforts to further furnish the naval strategic
nuclear forces with new-generation nuclear-powered submarines.
"Currently, work continues at the slipway of the
Sevmash Shipyard to build four more Project Borei-A serial-produced hulls of
nuclear-powered underwater cruisers armed with ballistic missiles. These are
the Prince Oleg, the Generalissimus Suvorov, the Emperor Alexander III and the
Prince Pozharsky," Korolyov said.
After Project Borei-A nuclear-powered submarines join the
Russian Navy, they will become the mainstay of Russia’s naval strategic nuclear
forces in the imminent future, Navy spokesman Dygalo said.
The strategic missile-carrying underwater cruiser Prince
Vladimir has been designed by the Rubin Central Design Bureau for Marine
Engineering and belongs to fourth-generation nuclear-powered submarines.
Project Borey-A nuclear underwater cruisers feature
improved characteristics compared with their Borey-class predecessors.
