Two weeks ago, reporting on the wires of the nuclear submarine "Prince Oleg" from Sevmash, where it was built, to a temporary base on the Kola Peninsula, we wrote: went north to go east.
And so it turned out. A few days later, the crew under the command of Captain II rank Igor Golubev was met by friends-submariners in the polar garrison, and the new ship took its place at the berth.
Here he will be registered at least until the end of this summer - the beginning of autumn, and may be delayed for a long time.
The details of the program, the chronological framework and the list of tasks that the crew will have to work out together with the ship before the start of the inter-fleet transition from the Kola Peninsula to the Kamchatka Peninsula are not publicly disclosed. But the first and most important thing is to pass the mandatory course tasks, achieve combat coherence and go, as they say, to the "first line", when the ship together with the crew can be included in the forces of constant combat readiness.
Submariners who had to serve on the first for the Pacific Fleet "Borea-A" are aware of their responsibility. And many useful skills were able to adopt, master, and consolidate during factory running and state tests, when experienced specialists from the Sevmash delivery team, from design bureaus and from suppliers of the latest systems and equipment for the submarine were nearby.
Now the crew must manage all this, use it for its intended purpose and competently maintain it by themselves and only on their own.
Judging by what our colleagues from the Sevmash press service were able to see, hear and evaluate, who were allowed to visit with a photo and a TV camera in the sturdy hull of the ship, Igor Golubev's crew is successfully coping with this.
It is not difficult to guess that even factory journalists with their admission form were shown, allowed to shoot, and even more so to publish, to broadcast far from everything and not the "most-most" on such ships as the K-552 strategic nuclear submarine Prince Oleg. But even from what was caught in the lens and allowed to be published, it is clearly visible: the team and its commander have every reason to be proud of their ship.
Maxim Vorkunkov's photo report from the strong hull of the Prince Oleg submarine and a blitz interview with its commander Igor Golubev will be in the Russian Weapons project on Monday, February 14, 2022.
