….Ever Just Went to Sea. "Russia's second Severodvinsk-class submarine K-561 Kazan , which is a modified Project 08851 Yasen-M design, went to sea for the first time for builder's trials on September 24. The massive nuclear-powered guided missile submarine (SSGN) was designed by the Malachite design bureau in St. Petersburg and was built in the northern Russian city of Severodvinsk.

Kazan was launched on April 8, 2027 expected to be delivered to the Russian Northern Fleet until at least 2019 Delivered before it is launched? Might make running trials a bit difficult |

Replacement for the Oscar-class. Kursk was an Oscar-class. Kinda amazed that it's taken the Russians so long to grok mechanical silencing, but it does require massive QA and attention to detail. I'd be happier if they stole our SubSafe procedures. I hate leaving brother submariners dead in shipwrecks during peacetime. |

The weapons trials seem to be where things go wrong, especially with those advance, Shkval torpedoes……. |

Wasn't a Shkval that blew up the Kursk, was a 'standard' high-test-peroxide Type 53. Shkvals are solid rockets, and ironically much safer. |
