The submarine "Knyaz Vladimir" is taking part in the Main Naval Parade for the first time this year. To date, the newest submarine has been accepted into the Northern Fleet. "Prince Vladimir" is such a large submarine that it is almost six times the size of the largest blue whale. It's time to learn more about the unique submarine.
During factory tests, the submarine "Prince Vladimir" received the index designation K-549. NATO assigned the submarine to the Borei class, effectively duplicating the Russian designation of the Borei-A submarine project 955A, which belongs to the fourth generation of submarine military vessels. It is noteworthy that at first they wanted to name the K-549 "St. Nicholas" in honor of the Byzantine Archbishop Nicholas the Wonderworker. However, later it was decided to name the ship in honor of the ancient Russian Grand Duke of Kiev Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, the baptist of Russia.
A submarine is operating at a nuclear reactor. The submarine has a displacement of 14,720 tons surfaced and 24,000 tons submerged. The waterline length of the hull is 170 meters. The largest hull width reaches 13.5 meters, and the average waterline draft is 10 meters. The "Prince Vladimir" is serviced by a crew of 107 sailors and officers. The submarine project was laid down in 2009, and the construction of the ship began in 2012. At the same time, as of 2011, the cost of the 4th generation atomic substrate was estimated at $ 713 million.
Like most other modern nuclear submarines, "Prince Vladimir" has the entire list of weapons available to submarines. First of all, this is torpedo-mine armament - 6 launchers of 533 mm caliber, which allow launching torpedoes, mines, missiles (including cruise missiles). R-30 Bulava solid-propellant ballistic missiles are in second position in the list of weapons. "Prince Vladimir" carries 16 of these missiles. In addition, the submarine has its own air defense systems: Strela-3M, Igla-1M and Verba MANPADS.
