The Severodvinsk Production Association "Sevmash" held a solemn ceremony of removing the project "Borey-A" from the main nuclear submarine "Prince Vladimir" from the slipway. This is the first of a series of "Borei", built on a modernized project.

The event was attended by the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy Vladimir Korolev, the general director of the Rubin Central Design Bureau Igor Vilnit and the governor of the Arkhangelsk region Igor Orlov.

"The beginning of the construction of the Borey-A nuclear submarine missile is a proof that the domestic school of underwater shipbuilding has preserved and develops its best traditions, the foundation of which is the work and the high responsibility of scientists, designers and shipbuilders," said Vladimir Korolev.

The crew of the submarine "Prince Vladimir" has already been formed. The ship's commander, Vladislav Druzhinin, traditionally broke a bottle of champagne on the side of the missile carrier.

After exiting the boathouse, the nuclear submarine will be moored to the tanker pool, where it will prepare for sea testing of various directions.

"This event is the first date at the stage of preparation of the ship for the final stage - the transfer of the submarine to the Navy, which we plan to celebrate in 2018," Vladimir Korolev said.

According to him, today 88% of ships in the fleet were ill - modern ones.

"This speaks of the enormous potential of shipbuilding." Ahead of us, "Borey B" and the development of a missile carrier of the fifth generation, this is a forward movement, "said Vladimir Korolev.

After the successful completion of the sea trials, the "Prince Vladimir" nuclear powered vessel will be transferred to the Russian Navy. Earlier it was planned that this will be done before the end of 2017. But, it is possible that the deadline will be postponed.

Recall, the submarine "Prince Vladimir" is built on the modernized project 955U "Borey-A" and is the main boat in the series. The developer was CDB MT "Rubin". The missile carrier was laid in Severodvinsk in 2012, at the ceremony was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was he who attached the board to the section of the hull of the future submarine and held a meeting devoted to the implementation of the state arms program. At this meeting, it was announced that the main strategic nuclear naval shield of Russia would be the nuclear ships of the two series "Borey" and "Ash".

According to the State Arms Program, up to 2020 Sevmash plans to build eight Borey class submarines. Three of them have already been transferred to the fleet, the following should be the missile carrier Prince Vladimir. Another four ships are being built at the Severodvinsk shipyard. The last nuclear ship of this series, "Prince Pozharsky" was laid in December 2016.

Also on Sevmash is the construction of six submarines of the project "Ash" and "Ash-M". The head ship of this series Severodvinsk has been serving in the Northern Fleet since 2014, the rest are in different stages of readiness. In July 2017, another ship of this series, Ulyanovsk, was laid. It is planned that it will be transferred to the fleet in 2023.
