The submarine will be placed in the Museum of Naval Glory in Kronstadt
MOSCOW, December 16. /tass/. The first Soviet nuclear submarine K-3 "Leninsky Komsomol" will be delivered to the eternal parking place in the Museum of Naval Glory in Kronstadt by land, but for this its hull will be sawn into two parts. This was reported to TASS by two sources in the shipbuilding industry.
"The Lenin Komsomol submarine, after the work on museumification, will be delivered by land to the Museum of Naval Glory being created in Kronstadt. To do this, it is planned to cut the 108-meter hull of the submarine into two parts," one of the agency's interlocutors said.
In the autumn of 2021, the submarine made an inter-fleet transition from the Northern Fleet to the Baltic via inland waterways in the Sviyaga floating dock. Currently, K-3 is located at the Kronstadt Marine Plant. The project for the museum of the submarine was carried out by the St. Petersburg Marine Engineering Bureau "Malachite" (as part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation), where project 627 was developed. It is assumed that before transportation to the parking lot, the submarine will be returned to the Northern Shipyard for some time.
Earlier, the head of the project office for the creation of the tourist and recreational cluster "Island of Forts" Ksenia Shoigu said that the creation of the Museum of Naval Glory should be completed in the first quarter of 2023. Its central exhibit will be the first Soviet and third in the world submarine K-3 "Leninsky Komsomol" (the lead ship of the project 627 "Kit"), built in 1958 at the Severodvinsk shipyard "Sevmash".
