Heavy missile submarine strategic cruisers of Russia and foreign countries (rating)

The Arms of Russia news agency continues to publish ratings of various weapons and military equipment. This time, Russian experts compare the strategic missile submarine cruisers (TRPK) of Russia and foreign countries.

The comparative assessment was carried out according to the following parameters:

• firepower(the number of warheads (BB), the total power of the BB, the maximum firing range of an intercontinental ballistic missile, its accuracy - KVO)
• constructive perfection of TRPK(displacement, overall characteristics, conditional density of the TRPK - the ratio of the total mass of the submarine to its volume)
• technical reliability(the probability of failure-free operation of the submarine systems, the time of the salvo launch of all missiles, the preparation time for the missile launch, the probability of a successful launch)
• exploitation(the speed of the TRPK both on the surface and in the submerged position, the characteristics of noiselessness, the time of autonomous sailing)

The sum of points for all parameters gave an overall assessment of the compared TPPK. At the same time, it was taken into account that each TRPK taken from a statistical sample, being compared with other TRPK, was evaluated based on the technical requirements of its time.

In the rating carried out by IA "Arms of Russia" TRPK of all countries, which are now full members of the world nuclear submarine club, were considered. In addition to the United States (the "founding father"), Russia also includes Great Britain, France, China and India, which already has experience in operating the Soviet multipurpose missile nuclear submarine of Project 670 that was leased to it in 1988-1991 and is building its own nuclear submarine. - missile carrier "Arihant".

Submarines of the Ohio class (English Ohio class SSBN / SSGN) - a series of 18 American strategic nuclear submarines of the 3rd generation, which entered service from 1976 to 1992. Since 2002, the only type of missile carriers in service with the US Navy. Each boat is armed with 24 Trident missiles.

The first series of eight missile carriers were armed with Trident I C-4 missiles and were based at the Bangor Naval Base (naval base), Washington, on the US Pacific coast. The remaining 10 boats, the second series, were armed with Trident II D-5 missiles and were stationed at the Kings Bay naval base, Georgia.

In 2003, in order to fulfill the arms limitation treaty, a program was launched to convert the first four boats of the project into carriers of Tomahawk cruise missiles, which ended in 2008.

The remaining four boats of the first series were rearmed with Trident-2 missiles, and all Trident-1 missiles were removed from combat duty. Due to the reduction of missile carriers in the Pacific, some of the Ohio-class submarines were transferred from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Boats of the Ohio class form the backbone of the US strategic offensive nuclear forces and are constantly on alert, spending 60% of the time at sea. By the early 1960s, after a series of studies, American analysts came to the conclusion that the strategy of "massive retaliation" was futile.

In the 1950s, American strategists hoped to disable the USSR's strategic nuclear forces with a preemptive missile strike. Studies have shown that one strike cannot destroy all strategic targets, and a retaliatory nuclear strike will be inevitable. In these conditions, the strategy of "realistic intimidation" was born.

As the chief of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces N.V. Ogarkov said in the early 1980s, “the emergence and rapid improvement of nuclear weapons raised a completely new question about the expediency of war as a means of achieving a political goal. to the developed strategic weapons ".

The last ship of the "667 family", as well as the last Soviet submarine missile carrier of the 2nd generation (in fact, "smoothly transitioned" to the 3rd generation) was the Project 667BRDM strategic missile submarine (code "Dolphin"), just like its predecessors , created by CDB MT “Rubin” under the leadership of the general designer, academician SN Kovalev.

A government decree on the development of a new nuclear submarine was issued on September 10, 1975.The main weapon of the ship was to be a new D-9RM missile system with 16 R-29RM intercontinental liquid-propellant missiles (RSM-54, SS-N-24), having an increased firing range, accuracy and radius of separation of warheads. The development of the missile system began at KBM in 1979.

Its creators were focused on achieving the highest possible technical level and performance characteristics with limited changes to the submarine design. The assigned tasks were successfully solved by implementing original layout solutions (combined tanks of the last sustainer and combat stages), the use of engines with extreme characteristics, the use of new structural materials, improvement of production technology, as well as an increase in the size of the rocket due to the volumes "borrowed" from the launcher installation.

In terms of their combat capabilities, the new ballistic missiles surpassed all modifications of the most powerful American Trident naval missile system, while having less weight and dimensions. Depending on the number of warheads and their mass, the firing range of an ICBM could significantly exceed 8300 km.

R-29RM was the last missile developed under the leadership of V.P. Makeev, as well as the last domestic liquid-propellant ICBM. In a well-known sense, it was the "swan song" of liquid-propellant ballistic missiles of submarines. All subsequent domestic ballistic missiles were designed with solid fuel.

Tactical and technical design assignment was issued in December 1972, SN Kovalev was appointed the chief designer of the project. The new type of submarine cruisers was positioned as a response to the construction of the US SSBN Ohio-class. The dimensions of the new ship were determined by the dimensions of the new solid-propellant three-stage intercontinental ballistic missiles R-39 (RSM-52), which it was planned to equip the boat with.

Compared with the Trident-I missiles, which were equipped with the American Ohio, the R-39 missile had the best characteristics of flight range, throw weight and had 10 blocks versus 8 for Trident. However, at the same time, the P-39 turned out to be almost twice as long and three times heavier than its American counterpart. To accommodate such large missiles, the standard SSBN layout scheme did not fit.

On December 19, 1973, the government decided to start work on the design and construction of a new generation of strategic missile carriers. Akula, project 941. The first submarine of this type, TK-208, was laid down at the Sevmash enterprise in June 1976, and launched on September 23, 1980.

Before the descent, in the bow section below the waterline, an image of a shark was applied to the side of the submarine; later, stripes with a shark appeared on the crew's uniform. Despite the later launch of the project, the lead cruiser entered sea trials a month earlier than the American "Ohio" (July 4, 1981).

TK-208 entered service on December 12, 1981. In total, from 1981 to 1989, 6 Akula-class boats were launched and put into operation. The planned seventh ship was never laid down; hull structures were being prepared for him. The construction of "9-storey" submarines was provided by more than 1000 enterprises of the Soviet Union.

Only at "Sevmash" 1219 people who participated in the creation of this unique ship received government awards. Purpose Designed for delivering long-range nuclear missile strikes against large military-industrial facilities and force basing points.

The naval forces are now using the new fourth-generation project 955 Borey nuclear submarines. The lead ship of this project was a submarine named after Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. The design and technical documentation was developed by engineers from the Rubin Design Bureau.

After the plan was approved, the nuclear submarine was laid down on December 22, 1996 at the shipyard of OAO PO Severnoye Machine-Building Enterprise in Severodvinsk. During the construction of the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear submarine, the experience of Soviet shipbuilders was applied.

Also, in the creation of a nuclear submarine, the idea of ​​creating a hull structure was borrowed, which made it possible to reduce the cost of building a submarine. The nuclear submarine is equipped with a pressurized water-cooled nuclear reactor of the OK-650V type using thermal neutrons. The capacity of the steam turbine units is 190 MW.

A novelty in the design of the Borey series is a water jet, which will significantly reduce the noise level of the submarine. Another characteristic feature of the Project 955A submarine will be its armament, consisting of 12 Russian-made Bulava-type ballistic missiles.

The next modernized series of Project 955 missile carriers will have 16 such missiles. After a series of successful mooring and sea trials, the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear-powered missile-carrying submarine received the tail number K-535 and became part of the Russian Navy. Soon, a series of successful missile firing of new ballistic missiles was made from the nuclear submarine.

The government of the Russian Federation plans to build 8 Project 955 Borey missile carriers. However, today the completion of the construction of the second submarine K-550 "Alexander Nevsky", laid down on March 19, 2004, and the continuation of the construction of the third nuclear submarine "Vladimir Monomakh", laid down on March 19, 2006, is progressing rather slowly.

Also, the name of the fourth submarine of this project is already known - "St. Nicholas". All four nuclear-powered submarines will be deployed at the naval base in Vilyuchinsk (Kamchatsky Peninsula) and will become part of the Pacific Fleet.

A huge work has already been done there to build the necessary infrastructure, both for ships and for submariners:

• completely rebuilt pier area
• organized technical protection of the basing system
• modernization of the training center
• several residential buildings for family members of submariners were put into operation

Ships like the strategic missile submarine Yuri Dolgoruky will soon become the backbone of the naval component of the Russian Federation's nuclear triad.

The strategic missile submarine Yekaterinburg is part of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation with a station in the city of Gadzhievo, Murmansk region. Taking into account the difficult geographical and climatic conditions of the location of units and formations of the Northern Fleet, the special specificity and complexity of service in the submarine forces of the Russian Navy, patronage of ships has become a good tradition in Russia. The nuclear submarines Bryansk, Tula, Novomoskovsk, Karelia, Verkhoturye and many others are currently in combat formation. The patronage of the PKK SN "Yekaterinburg" has become a continuation of this good tradition.

Historical reference

⇒ On February 23, 1999, an agreement was signed on the establishment of patronage ties between the administration of the city of Yekaterinburg and the command of the strategic missile submarine Yekaterinburg (RPK SN Yekaterinburg).

On July 9, 2001, at the initiative of the shareholders of the Tagansky Ryad group of companies, a charitable foundation was established to help the crew of the strategic missile submarine Yekaterinburg (BF RPK SN Yekaterinburg).

⇒ Since its foundation, the Foundation has collected and sent 2 three-ton and 4 five-ton railway containers with food, medicine, materials for the repair of the barracks, household and computer equipment. The crew received 3 times overalls for 150 sets of winter and summer suits for external and internal work. Literature on the history of Yekaterinburg and several hundred video and audio cassettes with feature films and other entertainment programs for organizing the leisure of sailors were sent to the library of the unit. / P>

Over the entire period, the Fund received and spent more than 100,000,000 rubles for the needs of the crews. Of this amount, 95% came from ZAO Tagansky Ryad. In 2005, at the expense of the organizations and institutions of the city of Yekaterinburg, the hostel for the crew of the sponsored submarine was repaired in the amount of 11,600,000 rubles. Over the past twelve years, the Fund has been organizing trips for submariners' families to sanatoriums and children's camps on the Black Sea, and for the winter holidays they come to the capital of the Urals, where they will find exciting cultural and entertainment programs, as well as New Year's gifts.

Realizing the need for a spiritual center in the main base of submariners, taking into account the appeal of the sailors and residents of the city, their desire to have their own Orthodox church, the founders of the Foundation in 2016 committed themselves to completing the church of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called in the city of Gadzhievo and erecting a Sunday school with him. Despite the objective difficulties of construction in the Far North, on September 16, 2018, the consecration and opening of the Temple and the Sunday School took place.

⇒ Annually organized trips of the delegation from Yekaterinburg to the sponsored submarine with the presentation of gifts to the crew and family members of the submariners. The command of the Northern Fleet formation and the PKK SN Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye visited us many times on return visits.

After the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region visited the sponsored crews of the RPK SN as part of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy in December 2010, the RPK Yekaterinburg Charitable Foundation was reorganized into the Charity Fund Aid to the Crews of the Strategic Missile Submarine Cruisers Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye. The Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region issued an order dated 16.02.2011 No. 22-RG on the patronage council for organizing support for military unit 34357 of the Northern Fleet.

The Foundation is a plenipotentiary member of the Interregional Association of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and cities patronizing ships and units of the Northern Fleet.

In January 1998, an agreement was signed on the patronage of the Ryazan region over the nuclear-powered ship K-44, which was named Ryazan. The crews of the boat have repeatedly demonstrated high professional training and the ability to perform complex combat missions. Among the submariners of the cruiser, many residents of Ryazan are worthy of service, ensuring the security of our country. In September 2008, the sponsored nuclear-powered ship moved from the Northern Fleet to a new base - the Pacific Fleet. It is currently undergoing modernization.

History of K-44 "Ryazan"

Material from the site http://flot.com/nowadays/strength/ryazan.htm

K-44 Ryazan is a Project 667BDR Kalmar nuclear-powered missile submarine cruiser (SSBN).

LOCATION

Pacific Fleet, Krasheninnikov Bay, Vilyuchinsk.

BUILDING, NAME

The strategic nuclear-powered missile submarine was laid down on January 31, 1980 at the Sevmash enterprise in Severodvinsk under the name K-44, launched on January 19, 1982, and entered the Northern Fleet on November 24, 1982.

On January 10, 1998, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the honorary name "Ryazan" was awarded in connection with the signing of a patronage agreement between the administration of the Ryazan region and the commanders of the first and second crews of the submarine cruiser.

Milestones in history

In 1986, the SSBN K-44 "Ryazan" made a cruise to the North Pole.

July 28, 1990 - December 31, 1993 (according to some sources - 01/27/1992 - 10/21/1994) underwent medium repairs with modernization at the Zvezdochka plant in Severodvinsk.

June 7, 1995: SSBN K-44 (project 667BDR, "Ryazan", commander - Captain 2nd Rank V.N.Bazhenov) launched the R-29R conversion ballistic missile with a complex of scientific equipment of the Center for Applied Space Technologies and Microgravity Studies at Bremen University from the Barents Sea (research launch within the international Elrabeck program).

The descent module with scientific equipment and mail, having flown about 9 thousand km along a suborbital trajectory, landed in Kamchatka in 20 minutes. This operation was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest mail in the world.

Shooting under the program "Wave" K-44. 1995 year

On December 3, 1995, damaged the VFR mast while performing a dive maneuver with the extensions raised after breaking through ice in polar night conditions. The damage was repaired at the basing point.

In May 1996 she won the title of "The best ship of the Northern Fleet".

In 1996 she received the prize of the Navy General Committee for missile training.

On October 4, 1999, during the execution of a single-missile salvo from a submerged position, at the moment the missile exited the silo, the lower part of the first stage of the missile came off. The warhead was shot from an AK-630 after the boat surfaced. On board the boat was the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Admiral V.I. Kuroyedov.

In the summer of 2002, its crew performed the launch of the new Volna carrier rocket, which was created by the Design Bureau named after V.P. Makeeva. At the head of the rocket was the Demonstrator-2 descent vehicle, designed to deliver cargo not only from near-earth orbit to earth, but also to other planets.

In 2005 - 2007, she underwent service maintenance to extend the turnaround time at the Zvezdochka plant in Severodvinsk.

On August 1, 2008, she launched a ballistic missile from a submerged position in the Barents Sea.

In August-September 2008, she made the transition to the Pacific Fleet by the northern sea route (commander - Captain 1st Rank I.A. Stepanenko).

In October 2008 she was transferred to the Pacific Fleet.

Since 2011, it has been undergoing repairs and modernization at the Far Eastern Plant Zvezda in the town of Bolshoy Kamen (Primorsky Territory).

Submarine cruiser "Ryazan" (outline)

Material from the site http://www.sps.ru/?id=38932

The opportunity to visit the atomic "namesake" of his hometown presented itself thanks to Vladimir Morozov. OAO Ryazanskaya GRES headed by him became the first enterprise in the region to establish direct contacts with the crews of the submarine cruiser Ryazan. Three weeks ago, the sailors received a railway container of gifts from the Ryazan State District Power Plant, and on January 30 they received a representative delegation of power engineers, in which there was a place for a journalist.

Ship

The biography of Ryazan should begin in February 1973, when Soviet missile designers began work on the R-29R two-stage ballistic missile. Its main difference from its predecessors was the multiple warhead with individual targeting warheads, which made it possible to multiply the number of targets destroyed by one salvo.

It was for these missiles that Project 667BDR strategic submarine cruisers were created. We have it under the code "Squid". The NATO people are known as the Delta-3 project. A total of thirteen such submarines have been built. K-44, which later received the name "Ryazan", left the stocks of the sixth in a row - in 1979.

First of all, the ship is striking in its size. It is one third more than the dead "Kursk". The length is one and a half football fields. The height is the same as that of a standard "seven-story building". To get inside, you have to remember the basics of mountaineering training. The way down is about ten meters, and the diameter of the shaft is only 60 centimeters. Not an easy task, even for a trained person.

The sturdy boat hull is divided into eleven watertight compartments. In this case, the 1st, 2nd and 11th are shelter compartments. Their transverse bulkheads are designed for pressure corresponding to the cruiser's maximum immersion depth.

High speed is provided by two nuclear reactors with a total capacity of 180 megawatts. Power engineers know that this is a lot - more than half of the installed capacity of the Ryazan GRES power unit.

The cruiser has 16 mines for the main weapon - sea-based ballistic missiles. The sailors say that Ryazan is capable of shooting them "like a machine gun." The intervals between launches are minimal, and the thrown mass of these nuclear projectiles is as much as 2.8 tons. As much as the much heavier American Trident missile. It is now clear why every cruiser's exit on a long voyage is closely monitored by the "adversaries". Respect! ..

The Ryazan missile carrier has two crews. This, at first glance, paradoxical organizational decision has good reasons. The cruiser is in constant combat readiness, can open fire even while standing at the pier. However, his place is in the sea, at a depth where the ship is very difficult to detect for a potential enemy. But after the campaign, the officers and sailors need rest, then they are replaced by their rival colleagues.

It turns out to be a psychologically interesting situation: if one commander took the boat, the other comes to visit him on the "iron".

Precisely - the other! Not the second. Even the squadron commander cannot figure out who is the first.

Two captains of the first rank. Young. Sociable. Damn charming. Very self-confident. On the very day of our arrival, Andrei Subbotin "shot all competitors" in a torpedo firing exercise. Tagir Kayaev, in the sporting sense of the word, beats the whole Northern Fleet. In his boxing weight class, he simply has no equal rivals there.

Both have always dreamed of becoming strategic submarine commanders. In response to a question about whether any of them would like to change their missile cruiser for something easier and more maneuverable, like the underwater nuclear fighter "Cheetah", Tagir said bluntly: "We were offered. Did not go. Well them! They run at different depths like rabid gorillas. It's not impressive! "

To match the commanders - their crews. The best in 31 divisions of nuclear submarines. Unfortunately, I managed to get to know only one of them: Kayaev's subordinates are now on vacation, but the impressions will last for a long time. And the most important of them is this: "The nuclear shield of the Motherland is in good hands."

Each crew is a military unit. There are much fewer conscripts in it than officers and warrant officers. However, the living conditions created for the "conscripts" on the shore will be the envy of anyone who is in some way familiar with the army "household".

There is not only hot water in the barracks, but also washing machines. And not just any, but "Indesit" and "Zanussi". Thanks to the Ryazan chefs, a sports trainer, a punching bag, and sets of gloves appeared. Of course - TV, VCR and music center. The food ration is also beyond the soldier's dream. Therefore, they do not flee from the nuclear fleet. There is no need.

However, the sea service is not sugar at all. According to Andrey Subbotin, it tastes like cured roach. During the hike, the "ram" is given every day to correct the salt balance of the body. You have to drink desalinated sea water, which differs little from distilled water.

The neuropsychic stress is very high. First, responsibility crushes. Secondly, the closedness of space. Of course, the habitability of a nuclear-powered ship is much higher than that of a diesel submarine during the Second World War, but you constantly plant bruises without habit.

Watches at sea are in the "4 through 4" mode. Everyone spends their free time in their own way. In the officers' cabins there are videos and computers. This is now allowed.

The mess-room is a separate song. Something like a micro-cafe. With a huge ditch of live Tradescantia and a palm tree. "You miss the monkey!" - noticed Rear Admiral Maksimov, seeing this splendor for the first time.

The cat is still absent from Ryazan, although they are on the “submarine” - a normal phenomenon. They regularly catch rats that manage to penetrate even the hulls of nuclear submarines.

But the cat is not the main thing. There are many other things that are not on the cruiser yet. Even light bulbs are in short supply. In the 90s, the combat capability of the Russian nuclear submarine fleet was supported by the truly heroic efforts of the commanders of the formations. What Moscow did not give was provided by the chefs. It got to extremes: the submarine "Tula" was preparing for a long voyage, and the provision warehouse was empty. I had to contact the governor of the Tula region. The Tula people immediately arrived, delivering everything they needed.

The current situation is much better. But Ryazan is not going to refuse the help of "fellow countrymen". They want us to remember them, and they have every right to do so. At each officer's feast, a traditional toast is raised. Control. Which is drunk to the bottom. "May fate turn its stern face away from all ships sailing to the sea!" March 19 - the Day of the Russian submarine fleet - we should join him.

Delegation of the Ryazan region at a meeting with the crew of the nuclear submarine "Ryazan"

A delegation from the Ryazan Region visited Vladivostok, where they visited the Ryazan nuclear-powered missile submarine and congratulated the crew on the Day of the Russian Navy.

The delegation headed by the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Ryazan Region Sergey Samokhin included the head of the Ryazan city administration Vitaly Artyomov and the chairman of the regional department of DOSAAF Russia Major General Mikhail Nevdakh. They visited Vladivostok, where they took part in celebrations dedicated to the Day of the Navy, and also visited the Ryazan nuclear submarine. Representatives of the region got acquainted with the conditions of combat service and the life of the crew. During the conversation, issues were raised concerning the patriotic education of young people, the renewal of the tradition of conscripts from the Ryazan region on the Ryazan submarine. The guests warmly congratulated the sailors on the Day of the Russian Navy, presented gifts, and also conveyed congratulations from the Governor of the Ryazan Region. In particular, it says: “The history of the Russian Navy is a stubborn military work, great discoveries and achievements, exploits committed to the glory of the Fatherland. The Ryazan submariners also make a worthy contribution to strengthening the country's defense capability. Residents of Ryazan are proud that the military submarine, which ensures the interests of the state in the vastness of the World Ocean, is named after our glorious city. "

March of the nuclear-powered icebreaker "Ryazan"
	Poems and music cap. 2 ranks A. Trushin
	Let the depths of the sea tell The heavens of the polar marvelous edging, As under the ice, arguing with the current A formidable nuclear giant is racing. And how from the dive point The light is fading in the depths This is where the crew is fighting For ocean parity.
Chorus:	And keeps the course of the submarine calculated War and peace crystal edge. It is an honor to serve in the navy On the Ryazan nuclear-powered ship.
	In the edge of birches, where the dawns are cramped, Where the Oka splashes into the shore, Blue eyed bride Waiting for the sailor to return. In a shady linden alley A naval collar flickers, Meet your girl A vacationer from the Arctic.
Chorus.
	The divers are ready for the trip, Without unnecessary words and loud phrases. The crew has a firm word And the order will be executed. And after the service, since the road Another will fall for us We are the name of the native cruiser We will remember many times with friends.

It was 1967, the year of the half-century anniversary of the country of the Soviets. Fanfare of labor victories thundered, all plans were fulfilled and overfulfilled. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of October - November 4, acts were signed on the admission to the Navy of three lead boats of the second generation at once. The shipbuilders of Severodvinsk, Leningrad and Gorky reported to the party and the government on the tasks they had completed. On November 4, the crew and members of the government commission of the K-137 strategic missile submarine signed an act of acceptance into the Navy of the first miracle ship with sixteen ballistic missiles. As part of the government commission, I headed the shipbuilding section, Rear Admiral B.P. Akulov - electromechanical, and the chairman of the commission was Vice-Admiral A.I. Petelin. The three-month work on the shore and the sea ended. The commission signed the conclusion "the best ship of our time." The next day, November 5, 1967, I went to sea, on the second ship of the same type, now a serial one - "K-140". And in total, until 1970, I participated in the testing of thirteen ships of this project.

On November 6 and 7, taking into account the festive mood and the number of people on board, like herring in a barrel - about two and a half - three crews, we decided not to dive, but to engage in surface modes. In parallel, with free combat shifts of officers, in the wardroom, I conducted classes, based on the results of tests of the lead submarine "K-137". The senior on board was brigade commander Yu.A. Ilyichenko, commander - A.N. Matveev, the commander of the warhead-5 - V. Telin. All experienced divers. The tests of the submarine "K-140" were successful and by the end of the year she departed to her permanent base - Gadzhievo, but in the spring of 1968 she returned to Severodvinsk to carry out modifications and imperfections. In mid-August, I went on a short-term vacation, and on August 28 I was urgently summoned to the service. My vacation went to hell, because I immediately got to the investigator for especially important cases of the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office. In addition to the prosecutor's office, a commission of specialists from the Navy, industry and science worked in full force in the fleet ... On the new K-140, which had not yet had time to make any real contribution to increasing the combat readiness of the Northern Fleet, an accident occurred.

Our second strategic boat is out of action and, apparently, for many years, - everyone whispered in the corners.

The accident on the K-140, indeed, dealt a serious blow to both combat readiness and the budget of the fleet.

During the turning of the weapon and technical means, the left side reactor uncontrollably reached power: during the installation of the backup power supply network of the compensating organs of the reactor, the phases were reversed. And when power was applied, up to 12 percent of the reactivity was released ... Since all the instruments on the reactor control panel were turned off, the duty service could not detect any external signs of an accident. Although the calculations later showed that the power was 20 times higher than the nominal, and the pressure in the first circuit reached 800 kg / cm2. Fortunately, there was no depressurization of the primary circuit - the strength of the materials and good manufacturing and welding technology affected. However, no one now, of course, could guarantee the reliability of the equipment and communications of the steam generating plant. In short, the steam generating plant required replacement in full.

The participants in the accident were interrogated for a long time. The commander of the warhead-5 captain of the 3rd rank V.V. Telin and two other officers were removed from office and for them the case smelled like a court. We, naval specialists, demanded an investigative experiment. They proved that the installation of those very "ill-fated phases" that supply power to the compensating grids of the reactor was carried out at the shipyard and after the factory workers no instrument touched them anymore. The Moscow investigator agreed with our arguments, and the experiment was carried out. Indeed, the seals were not broken. Installation of the "guilty" system was primary, factory. And therefore, of course, neither the military acceptance nor the OTK did not check the backup power for compensating grilles.

The dismissed officers from the crew were not put on trial. However, they did not begin to restore them. The boat was re-equipped for the 667AM project, twelve RSM-45 solid-propellant missiles of the D-11 complex of the Arsenal plant were installed on it. The steam generating unit was cut out and unloaded over the side. Then they uploaded a new one in the same way. The reactor and the equipment were “arrested”, towed to the area of ​​Novaya Zemlya and flooded there. All this lasted until 1980. Nine years later, the K-140 ammunition was also destroyed by shooting and an explosion at a high altitude. And in January 1990, the submarine was decommissioned.

Submarine missile carriers (RPK SN) of project 667A in the USSR, 34 units were built. Built in Severodvinsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

The performance data of the submarines of this project (according to NATO classification - "Yankee"):

Displacement - 9300 tons. Length -129.8 meters. The depth is 400 meters. Rockets - 16 D-5s. 2 reactors - VM 4+ 90 MW. 2 GTZA PVA OK 700-52000 l / s. Speed ​​- 26 knots. The crew is 120 people.
