MOSCOW, January 28. /tass/. The nuclear submarine "Prince Oleg" of the Borei-A project has begun the transition to the Northern Fleet. This was reported to journalists on Friday in the press service of Sevmash.
"The nuclear submarine of the Borei-A project, Prince Oleg, built on the Sevmash (part of the USC), went to a temporary base for the Northern Fleet. The company's specialists took part in preparing the ship for the transition," the company said.
The submarine was transferred to the Russian Navy on December 21 last year and will be based in the Pacific Fleet. During the state tests, the cruiser successfully fired a Bulava ballistic missile from the White Sea.
The missile carrier belongs to the fourth generation of nuclear submarines of the improved Borey-A project (the designer is the St. Petersburg Central Design Bureau of Marine Equipment Rubin). Fundamentally new technical solutions have been implemented in the project, equipment has been improved, the level of physical fields has been reduced, security has been increased, and a complex of import substitution works has been carried out.
The Russian Navy has three submarines of the basic project 955 "Borey": "Yuri Dolgoruky", "Vladimir Monomakh" and "Alexander Nevsky", as well as two submarines of the modernized project 955A: "Prince Vladimir" and "Prince Oleg". Five more Borey-A submarines - Emperor Alexander III, Prince Pozharsky, Generalissimo Suvorov, Dmitry Donskoy and Prince Potemkin - are in different stages of construction.
