Severodvinsk
nuclear sub completes first sea trials
Russia’s
new Severodvinsk nuclear-powered attack submarine has successfully completed
initial sea trials by builder Sevmash, a Russian shipyard said on Thursday.
“The trial was
successful. Tests of the ship’s systems were held as scheduled,”
Sevmash ship-building company said in a statement.
The Russian Navy will receive its first Severodvinsk
nuclear submarine in late 2011. Sevmash is planning to build a total
of six submarines of this class.
