Three nuclear submarines of the Russian Navy currently under
maintenance will be recommissioned by 2014, a Navy spokesman told
journalists Tuesday.
The K-410 Smolensk cruise missile submarine, which is undergoing repairs since 2011, will resume its service in the Northern Fleet, the spokesman said.
The Pacific Fleet will be rejoined by the K-150 Tomsk cruise missile submarine, which was docked in 2010 due to problems with the cooling engine of its nuclear reactor; and the K-419 Kuzbass attack submarine, under repairs since 2010. The Kuzbass belongs to the same Akula II class as the ill-fated K-152 Nerpa
, on which 20 people were killed during sea trials in 2008 due to malfunction of the fire suppression system.
