Technical crews of the submarine pr.941
Major milestones
1986
The division continues to master the nuclear submarine Project 941. The formation includes four Project 941 nuclear submarines, for which there are four first and four second crews, as well as four technical crews (508th, 589th, 605th, 606th).
All Project 941 nuclear submarines are part of the permanent readiness forces, seven of the eight Project 941 nuclear submarine crews are first-line.
The unique BS of one of the Project 941 nuclear submarines continued. At the beginning of spring, the submarine "Ivan Kolyshkin" delivered the second crew to Yokanga. From there, on the icebreakers "Sibir" and "Peresvet", the crew's submariners were transported to the ascent point, where a crew change was made on March 29. The crew of Captain 2nd Rank M.A. Leontyev continued to carry out the 180-day BS, which ended on June 22, 1986.
More than 10 exercises using weapons were completed, including one missile firing of an R-39 SLBM. The division's crews perform BS tasks according to plan. Together with representatives of industry and research organizations of SMEs and the Navy, the technical capabilities of the nuclear submarine Project 941 are being studied, the issues of carrying BS and carrying out missile firing from areas with difficult ice conditions, in ice-covered and “on the ground” modes are being studied. Work is underway to reduce the time of pre-launch preparation in various degrees of readiness (in some modes it is possible to reduce the time by almost half).
The division took part in a test-tactical exercise under the leadership of the commander of the 1st FlPL, during which it acted together with the 33rd DiPL SF. Based on the results of the exercise, the division was rated “good.”
July 12 - personnel celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 18th DiPL. In the festive order of the formation commander, the crews under the command of captains 1st rank V.V. Ivanov, V.K. Grigoriev, M.M. Kiselyov were noted among the best.
November - in accordance with the directive of the commander of the 1st FPL SF, a month was held in the formation high culture maintenance of ships, weapons and equipment, with the aim of bringing them into exemplary condition, strict implementation of the ship's charter, improving the maritime culture of personnel, etc. At the end of the month, the crews of Captain 1st Rank Yu.M. Repin and Captain 2nd Rank M.A. Leontyev were recognized as the best.
Based on the results of combat and political training for 1986, places between the submarine crews were distributed as follows: 1st place - captain 1st rank V.V. Ivanov; 2nd place - captain 1st rank V.K. Grigoriev; 3rd place - captain 1st rank A.V. Kuzmin;
December 20 - while performing BS tasks in a submerged position, the nuclear submarine Project 941 with 2 crew, the senior on board - the commander of the 18th DiPL, captain 1st rank A.V. Olkhovikov, caught and broke the cable of the towed antenna array English nuclear submarine"Splendid", performing dangerous maneuvers near the Soviet ship.
December 24 - the results of the state of military discipline were summed up. The crews of Captain 1st Rank V.V. Ivanov and Captain 1st Rank V.K. Grigoriev were recognized as the best.
The division successfully completed the assigned tasks of combat and political training, the ships of the formation completed the planned BS with high marks, however, according to higher authorities, the provisions of the resolution of the CPSU Central Committee of November 10, 1985 on the radical improvement of military discipline were not fully implemented in the formation, therefore, the division lost its status as a forward formation of the Navy.
Since January, a military commandant’s office (captain-lieutenant N.I. Fedorov) began operating in Nerpichya Bay.
Navigation repairs were carried out on PKZ-17 by the BSRK, with the involvement of personnel from the 18th DiPL Northern Fleet.
The division's boats perform tasks according to their main purpose. BS is being carried out according to plan, new tactical techniques are being mastered, which have confirmed the high technical capabilities of the Project 941 ships. A tactical technique for withdrawing the Project 941 nuclear submarine from attack using auxiliary means of propulsion, without the use of tugs, with the emergency commissioning of the ship’s power plant, has also been worked out.
March 14-18 - under the leadership of the commander of the 1st FPL, a test-tactical exercise was conducted (rated "good"), during which the deployment of the division's ships to combat areas was practiced, in readiness to launch a nuclear missile strike on enemy ground targets. The actions of the Project 941 nuclear submarine in high-latitude areas were also worked out in support of a multi-purpose nuclear submarine.
July 27 - BZZ competitions were held among the crews of the division. The best emergency party was for the compartment commander - midshipman A.I. Kablukov, the compartment foreman - midshipman A.S. Sheleg.
In August-September, the crew of Captain 1st Rank Yu.M. Repin, for the first time in the history of the nuclear submarine Project 941, made a trip to the high latitudes of the Arctic. During the "autonomy" it was conquered North Pole, practical missile firing of SLBMs from the polar region was carried out, several new ones were tested tactics. For courage and heroism shown on a long voyage, 47 submariners were awarded high state awards. The rating for BS is “excellent”.
October 2 - climbed onto the missile deck of the nuclear submarine pr.941 (commander - captain 1st rank V.N. Britshev), located in Severomorsk General Secretary Central Committee of the CPSU, Chairman of the USSR Defense Council M.S. Gorbachev and his accompanying guests.
December 30 - to Nerpichya Bay permanent place Another ship arrived from home and was included in the 18th Divisional Submarine. The division also included the first and second crews under the command of Captain 2nd Rank N.V. Korbut and Captain 1st Rank N.I. Lobastov, respectively.
Based on the results of combat and political training in 1987, the crew (commander - Captain 1st Rank Yu.M. Repin) was recognized as the best crew of the formation. The crew was awarded the pennant of the Minister of Defense "For courage and military valor."

OK. Abramov "Explosion in Polyarny".
(Military-technical almanac “Typhoon” No. 6/1999 (18))
At 8.25 on January 11, 1962, a thunderclap thundered in Polyarny powerful explosion. The flash illuminated the entire city, the roar woke up the entire population, sleeping peacefully under the cover of the polar night. They began to really talk about the force of the explosion only a few days later, when they began to find twisted fragments of metal and individual objects (logs, VVD cylinders weighing about 200 kg) far from the explosion site - sometimes hundreds of meters, and sometimes several kilometers.
Soon after the explosion, residents felt cold in their apartments due to broken glass. Rumors spread throughout the city: “War.”
It was on Monday. I, like the other commanders, went to report to the formation commander. My team had breakfast on the 3rd line that day (at 8.30). However, on this very day, for some reason, the entire squadron had breakfast on the first shift...
On the way to the headquarters, I suddenly saw a bright flash that illuminated everything around, then a strong rumbling explosion thundered (I can still see and hear all this). He rushed to his boat (S-350 pr. 633), which he was then in command of - an explosion occurred in the area where it was moored.
After the explosion there was pitch darkness. While running, he almost collided with a group of officers - two were leading, or rather, carrying the third - identifying the middle of them as the commander of the B-37, captain 2nd rank Anatoly Begeba. Anatoly didn’t recognize me, which I remember was very surprising. I only learned a few days later that he had been thrown from the boat by an explosion.
Having run up to the parking lot of my boat, I discovered that it had been thrown away from the pier and was standing with its stern raised, with the trim at the bow. The bow compartments are under water. All this was quite clearly visible, because... neighboring boats turned on their spotlights.
The B-37 stood, as the day before, in the first hull, without roll or trim, so I decided that my boat had exploded. I began to feverishly think about what could explode on it, because... I came from the dock the day before and had no ammunition. I became the 5th corps at this pier for loading torpedoes, and in the evening they released three corps and asked A. Begeba to also move away in order to begin loading torpedoes in the morning. Anatoly explained that he was leaving on a hike in the morning and wanted to give his personnel a rest. They decided to remoor in the morning, and that’s where they parted ways (especially in terms of maneuver and time).
While wondering how I could get to my boat, I noticed my radio operator on the fence of the wheelhouse and ordered him to jump into the water and swim to me, which he quickly did. We pulled him out of the water using ropes. Just as I was about to run to the boat pier, I heard screams from the water and saw a man desperately rowing towards the pier. They pulled him out, and he turned out to be my sailor too. But he appeared before us in a completely unusual form: completely naked, but in boots!
Later it turned out (looking ahead) that not a single person from my team on the boat heard the explosion. Incl. and these two sailors, one of whom was in the wheelhouse fence, and the second in the stern of the submarine.
The doctors explained this phenomenon to me this way: a person has a hearing threshold, beyond which protection is triggered, and the brain does not accept any information. Is it so? I don’t presume to judge, I’m sharing only the facts.
While I was pulling out the sailors, bursts of fire more and more often flew out of the “petal” of the B-37 RDP, accompanied by a threatening roar. I ran to the boat dock to get to my boat by speedboat. However, getting to the pier was not so easy, since the pier front was badly damaged by the explosion. We had to literally crawl along slippery logs. Having reached the boats, I learned that only the squadron commander’s boat was moving! The boat commander, without any hesitation, took me onto the boat, which also required skill to climb onto. During the transition, I agreed with the boat commander that he would be at my disposal, ready to transport personnel.
On the submarine I opened the hatch of the emergency buoy - two buttons at the same time, then a third (during the investigative experiment during the trial of A. Begeba, I could not open even one button without effort). Having opened the hatch, he took out the phone and contacted the people in compartment VII. The situation was quickly reported to me: the personnel in five compartments were alive; there is no connection with compartments I and II: there is an insignificant flow of water into the central control room through the lower wheelhouse hatch; smells a faint smell of chlorine. After this report I asked for atmospheric pressure in the compartments - it turned out to be within acceptable limits. He ordered the pressure in the compartments to be equalized, and having received a report on the execution, he gave the order to prepare to abandon the ship. He warned that they would be released section by section, starting from the VIIth section.
This decision was not easy, but I motivated it with the following considerations:
First: flames appeared from the B-37 RDP shaft with increasing intensity.
I was afraid of a new explosion, the consequences of which were difficult to foresee.
Second: the spread of chlorine (due to sea water entering the battery pit) could kill the entire crew, because There were no means of protection against chlorine on the boat!
These are the main reasons, and the command at that time was not interested in my boat, which was felt by the fuss and often by completely incredible commands.
After the people left the compartments, another important reason was discovered that required the removal of people: through the lower conning hatch that was not tightly closed, water did not flow into the central compartment so slowly - it managed to fill the central compartment’s hold almost to the flooring.
I was absolutely confident in the competent actions of the personnel and knew that the first mate, captain-lieutenant Evgeniy Georgievich Malkov, and the commander of the warhead-5, captain-lieutenant Viktor Alekseevich Kuts, would find the most the right way out from the current situation. However, any other solution inevitably creates new difficulties, and the only correct solution is to withdraw personnel before the next explosion on the B-37.
He began to bring people out from the VII ossek. For me, the worst thing was the expectation of a sudden change in the trim of the submarine from bow to stern, then all my efforts to save the personnel would have collapsed and the losses would have been unpredictable. I delayed opening the top hatch of compartment VII for a long time, but in the end, spurred on by the continuous force of fire from the “petals” of the B-37 RDP, I ordered the hatch to be opened!
With the help of two sailors from the boat, he began to receive personnel above. Senior sailor Bashmakov came out first. I was struck by the appearance of his ears - they were huge and grew before my eyes (later he said that he did not hear the explosion, but at that time he was between the stern tubes - he was strongly and sharply swayed from side to side and hit his head against the body of the devices).
After the withdrawal of people from compartment VII, he ordered an inspection of the compartments. Having made sure that everything was fine, I continued the withdrawal of personnel in the sequence I had appointed and thus evacuated everyone except the officers and compartment commanders.
He ordered the first mate, together with the mechanic, to gather those remaining in compartment VII, battening down the bulkheads of all other compartments. After completing the order, he took out all the personnel and transported them to the shore.
Then he closed the hatch of compartment VII and remained on board, waiting for further changes in events.
Fire continued to fly out of the “petal” of the B-37 RDP with a threatening roar, and the fire continued there. Emergency parties crowded over the hatch of compartment VII of the B-37 and tried to save the personnel. As it turned out later, this was not possible. The personnel of the B-37, driven by water and fire, rushed into compartment VII and were packed in there so tightly that they could not get anyone out.
If my memory serves me right, 78 people died - all of them suffocated in compartments VI and VII.
Meanwhile, flashes of fire from the B-37 RDP mine continued to increase alarmingly.
I heard a request from the squadron commander, Rear Admiral N.I. Yamshchikova: “Where are your personnel? A boat has been sent to you! Take down the people!” He didn't hear my answer.
I continue to sit at the stern of my submarine, after a while I ask again: “Where are your personnel?” I replied that everything was on shore, except for compartments I and II, with which I had no contact. Having received orders to abandon ship, he took a boat to shore.
Losses in the barracks began to be established. It turned out that seven people from my team and four cadets who had just arrived for practice were among the missing. The reason for the death of many people turned out to be tragic: after the explosion of the B-37, two compartments of my boat broke off (they were held together by a light hull, 2 linear meters of which did not allow them to fall off completely) and both of them sank into the water, and compartment I was filled with water through the one destroyed by the explosion torpedo loading hatch. In addition, all the TAs were made into a cake and water also flowed through them. Of the three people there, one was crushed by the TA, and two suffocated in the water before they could join the IDA. It’s hard to believe, but the explosion was so strong (more than 12 torpedoes exploded) that the torpedoes, made of especially strong steel, were crumpled like sheets of ordinary paper.
We spent a long time understanding the reasons for the separation of the first two compartments until we established that after the delivery of the S-350 at the Sormovsky Shipyard, a decision was made to additionally fasten the durable hull in the area of the transition from a larger diameter to a smaller one (between compartments II and III). It was planned to strengthen the crossing with 32 pins, but this was not done - as far as I know, this decision was not carried out on any boat of Project 633!
Navy Civil Code Fleet Admiral S.G. Gorshkov ordered the reason for the separation of the first two compartments to be documented in a protocol, and the order was carried out! When I asked why the protocol was drawn up in one copy, he replied: “That’s how it should be!” They approved the protocol of the Navy Civil Code and, it seems, the deputy. Minister of Shipbuilding. There are a bunch of signatures below...the last one is mine. I still see my dead friends and this protocol, which fits on one sheet of paper - there is still some free space left.
After this tragedy, we, the crew officers, studied in detail our actions during the accident and as a result came to the conclusion that relatively small losses occurred due to the high level of training of all submarine personnel and a chain of accidents. It must be said (this is our firm conviction) that if additional fastening of the compartments (with 32 pins) had been carried out even before the explosion, the personnel of compartment II would have remained alive (and there were 8 people out of 11 who died!)
The high level of training of the S-350 crew was due to the fact that after receiving the submarine in 1959, it completed a large number of the most difficult cruises (Testing the project for full autonomy, testing for seaworthiness, participation in the Meteor exercise, firing a 6-torpedo salvo from a depth of 100 m - for the first time in the USSR!). The crew had extensive experience operating in the most incredible conditions. I must say that the level of training of the B-37 crew was no lower, but neither we nor they encountered situations similar to what happened on January 11, 1962.
Now is the time to talk about the chain of accidents. There were many of them, but I will focus on two - as it seems to me, the most unusual.
First. After turning the mechanisms “manually,” the first mate ordered the head of the RTS, Viktor Artemyevich Roshchupkin, to climb onto the bridge and ensure the safety of the personnel while lifting the retractable devices.
He began to climb onto the bridge along a vertical ladder and, while moving into the airlock chamber, he felt that the ladder was leaving under his feet and at the same time his ears were “stuffy.” Instinctively grabbing the ratchet of the lower deckhouse hatch, he fell down, involuntarily battening down the lower deckhouse hatch, which saved the CPU from flooding through the upper deckhouse hatch, which remained open. Then, unable to maintain his position in the hanging position, he broke away from the lower conning tower hatch and fell onto the flooring of the CPU, in such a way that his head ended up under the valve for draining water from the flooring of the second compartment.
Chlorine was actively flowing through this valve from the battery pit of compartment II (the pit had already been filled with sea water). Unable to do anything personally, V.A. Roshchupkin pointed to the valve to the nearest sailor, who quickly closed it, stopping the flow of chlorine into the compartment, thereby saving the personnel of compartment III from chlorine poisoning. This second accident saved not only the CPU, but the entire crew.
Then there was a lot of talk about the strength and number of explosions. Some claimed that there was one explosion, others that there were two, and others that there were several. Leo Tolstoy assured that no one lies as much as eyewitnesses.
I was convinced of the truth of these words in the Mediterranean Sea on next year when, after an accident at a depth of 210 m, he ordered everyone to write explanatory notes and was amazed to read the story about the same event with the most incredible details, which, in my opinion, did not happen! I think that traffic police representatives often encounter similar phenomena.
That, in fact, is all I can tell you about this mysterious tragedy of the Northern Fleet.
The real reasons have never been established. There are three versions: fire from spontaneous combustion of regeneration cartridges, negligence of personnel and sabotage. Naturally, the interested organizations considered each version impossible and carefully rejected it. Not the first time! You don’t have to look far for examples, let’s remember the death of Novorossiysk and Komsomolets... Is it worth continuing the list?
It remains to be regretted that we have not learned from our mistakes to teach the next generations.
Maybe this is one of the main reasons for “repeating the past”? History is no longer useful!
The commander of the warhead-5 of this boat, Genrikh Yakubenko (he now lives in Obninsk), can tell you in more detail about the explosion on the B-37. True, at the time of the explosion he was several kilometers from his submarine, but after the explosion he managed to run to it quite quickly.

“To ensure the daily and combat activities of the KVMK, the directive of the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy dated August 3, 1955 ordered the formation of the management of the 474th separate division of auxiliary vessels (474th ODnVS) by August 30, 1955. The base location is Kronstadt, the formation is subordinate to the head of the department of auxiliary vessels and logistics harbors of the KVMK.
The division included the icebreaker "Volynets", the road icebreaker "Tazuya", the transport "Shakhter", the schooner PMSH-7, the tender TDN-7, tugboats MB-13, MB-14, MB-16, MB-17, MB- 47, MB-56, MB-57, MB-84 and MB-141 (14 units in total).
According to the staff, the division must have four officers: division commander (captain 3rd rank), division navigator (lieutenant captain), division signalman (lieutenant captain), division mechanical engineer (lieutenant captain).
By the directive of the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy dated September 17, 1958, the management of the 474th ODNVS was transferred to a new staff, the division was subordinate to the head of the auxiliary courts of the KVMK and lost its separate status. Subsequently, a number of organizational and staffing events followed, a transfer from one state to another. KVMK was also reorganized; the units subordinate to it became part of the Leningrad Naval Base, the formation of which was completed at the beginning of 1961 (an order to this effect was signed by the base commander, Admiral I.I. Baikov, on January 2, 1961).1
1 - Note auto By the end of the formation of the naval base, the division of auxiliary logistics vessels of the LenVMB included:
- 474th division of auxiliary vessels (icebreakers, tugs, tankers, ferries);
- 150th group of auxiliary vessels and technical support vessels (11 vessels, including GKS, transports for transporting torpedo weapons, transport floating docks);
- 69th group of basic watercraft (23 vessels for various purposes);
- 136th group of basic watercraft (2 vessels);
- 144th group of basic watercraft (90 vessels);
- coastal base of auxiliary vessels in Lomonosov;
- 122nd switchboard station in Kronstadt.
There were changes in the ship's composition. New vessels were included, including the Sosva oil tanker pr.437N (since 1957), the marine automobile icebreaker ferry PRM-2 (since 1957), tugboats MB-142, MB-159 (since 1959). ), MB-162 (since December 20, 1961), passenger boat PSK-57, passenger ship "Shuya" (since 1969), tanker VTN-3, marine refrigerated transport MRT-142, icebreaker "Buran" (since 1966), keeler KIL-14, barges and vessels MTB-16150, MAB-39150, MAB-56150. IN different years The tender TDN-7, schooner PMSh-7, transport "Shakhter", raid icebreaker "Tazuya", tugs MB-13, MB-14, MB-16, MB-17, MB-47, MB-141 were excluded from the division. ." - V.V. Semashko. The first Sormovo nuclear submarine - from design to delivery (p. 37)
“The chief designer of the first nuclear submarine, Project 670, was Vitaly Konstantinovich Shaposhnikov. The lead nuclear submarine pr. 670 (production number 701), like the entire series, was built at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod).
More than 30 years have passed since then, and much has been forgotten. Articles (especially anniversary ones) often began to appear in the press, the authors of which, not being participants in the design and construction of the first nuclear submarine, Project 670, apparently unwittingly distort some facts and call the main heroes of these events people who had no or almost no direct connection to the creation of this unique (at that time) ship. All this made me take up my memories and summary individual episodes of the most complex process of design and construction of the lead nuclear submarine, Project 670.
I worked as the chief builder of this and other ships in the series from April 1959 to April 1970. Almost all notices for correction of design documents (drawings) have my signature. I followed all stages of design and carried out all stages of construction. You can believe me that on every sheet of case structures, every factory-made mechanism and contractor deliveries there are prints of my palms.
I knew by sight, by name and patronymic all the contractors - both developers and manufacturers. The development of all types of construction schedules, the preparation of workshop, factory, industry and union scale events took place with my participation. I had the opportunity to visit enterprises in many cities, in design organizations, governing and supervisory institutions. Twice or three times I was called to report on the progress of construction to an institution located outside the walls of the Moscow Kremlin, clearly visible from Red Square. For all flaws in meeting schedules, construction deadlines, general condition ship (breakdowns, fires, flooding, etc.) they asked, first of all, from me: “You are the main builder! You are the first to be asked.” This is how I was raised by the plant party committee and by leaders of all ranks. I remember the expression of Minister B.E. Butoma, who, while analyzing one trouble, asked me: “Where were you? Where were you looking?” And when he learned that I was on a business trip, he said: “So, when you’re on a business trip, your builders stand barefoot at the station and wait for your arrival?” I understood everything and still remember this phrase with delight.
How many hours did I have to stand, reporting on the progress of work, to various boards, meetings, committees that scolded, frightened, demanded new deadlines, and so on. You remember A.S. Pushkin: “I am reliving the whole past again...” May the reader forgive me if somewhere, in some way, I abuse the pronoun “I”. This doesn’t mean that I’m bragging, I just couldn’t formulate a phrase about this or that event differently.
In April 1959, after several years of interesting, intense work in various positions in the field of shipbuilding, I was appointed chief builder of the nuclear submarine pr.670. From that moment on, my close work began with the design bureau, which by that time had separated from the plant and become independent.
At this time management state committee for shipbuilding (GKS) and the authors of the TTZ reviewed and rejected the presented first version of the submarine pr.670. The design was transferred to SKB-143 (Leningrad). A.V. Ugryumov was appointed chief designer of the submarine pr.670, and V.K. Shaposhnikov, who headed the group of ship designers, was appointed his deputy. I often had to visit SKB-143 to coordinate the dimensions (based on the capabilities of the workshops and shipyards) and the fundamental construction technology and transportation options to delivery bases.
In October 1959, the chief engineer of the 1st Main Directorate of the GKS I.B. Mikhailov, having examined these studies, rejected them. Ugryumov was reprimanded, and Project 670 was closed. Seeing this situation with the design of submarines with new energy (as submarines with nuclear power plants were then called), in order to load the Krasnoye Sormovo plant, it was decided to build diesel-electric submarines pr.651 in Gorky. However, the management of the plant and the Gorky Economic Council (SNH) asked the State Construction Committee to continue searching for a nuclear submarine design suitable for construction at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant.”
Author - Vladimir Vladimirovich Semashko. Born in 1930. In 1954 he graduated with honors from the shipbuilding faculty of Gorky Polytechnic Institute. Received a referral to the Krasnoye Sormovo plant. He worked as an acting ship builder, a ship builder, a slipway supervisor, a deputy shop manager, and a chief builder. He took an active part in the construction of diesel-electric submarines of several projects, and was the main builder of the lead nuclear submarine pr.670 (project code "Skat") - the first nuclear-powered Sormovo boat. Then he was the main builder of the Project 670 nuclear submarine series.
Since 1970 - chief controller of the plant - head of department technical control(OTK), deputy director of the plant for quality. Since April 2001 on state pension. - V.N. Muratov, N.S. Mitichkin. Chronicle of the Pacific Fleet (p.44)

The history of the most powerful formation of the Pacific Fleet.
History of the 25th Missile Submarine Division strategic purpose originates in 1973, when, in accordance with the directive of the General Staff of the Navy of February 5, 1973 and the directive of the Civil Code of the Navy of February 6, 1973, the formation of the formation began. From October 1 to October 20, 1973, the formation of the submarine connection management in bay continued. Krasheninnikova.
Initially, the division included SSBNs K-252, K-258, K-446, K-430, K-436, K-451 and four floating barracks (PKZ-182, PKZ-2, PKZ-94, PKZ-155) for personnel. Boats K-252, K-258 and K-446 were transferred to the formation of the 8th DiPL; K-446 was in emergency repair at the Vostok plant, K-430, K-436, K-451 were at various stages of construction or testing. The second crews of these ships were trained at the 93rd Navy Training Center (Paldiski, Estonian SSR). These boats belonged to the nuclear submarine pr.667AU with the D-5U missile system (R-27U SLBM) with increased firing range and accuracy.
The first commander of the formation was Captain 1st Rank G.F. Avdokhin, the head of the political department was Captain 1st Rank B.V. Mikhailenko, the chief of staff was Captain 1st Rank V.V. Privalov, and the deputy division commander was Captain 1st Rank N.T. Ivanov, deputy commander for EMC - captain 2nd rank-engineer F.A. Kleschev. The connection control was located on PKZ-182, the submarine crews were located on PKZ-2, PKZ-94, PKZ-155.
With the completion of the formation of the 25th DiPL, the BP began to gain momentum. From the first days, the leading position among the ships was occupied by the crew of K-258 under the command of Captain 1st Rank A.N. Lutsky. It was this crew that was entrusted with the first to go on combat patrol in May 1974 on the K-252, the results of which were highly appreciated by the fleet command. - IN AND. Korolev. My commanders and ships (p. 61)
“The choice of being a submariner was not accidental for me. My grandfather, who raised me as a child, devoted a significant part of his life to scuba diving. He joined the submarine in 1908, starting his service on the Bubnovo “leopards”, and served in the Baltic until 1917, and after the fleet began to “decay”, he went ashore. Communication with my grandfather, his stories about scuba diving and naval service gradually formed the desire to become a Navy officer. At his insistence, I entered VVMU named after. M.V. Frunze, who graduated in 1977.
I began my service in the glorious flotilla - the oldest nuclear submarine formation of the Soviet Navy. Much in atomic submarine fleet began in Zapadnaya Litsa. He was appointed to the position of commander of the electronic navigation group BC-1 K-467 pr.671RT...
Over the five years of commanding the Project 671RT boats, I had the opportunity to gain my own understanding of the ship and study the strengths and weaknesses of the second generation boats. Later, already in the position of deputy division commander, I had the opportunity to serve on the nuclear submarine Project 971, which are third-generation ships, so my service experience allows me to speak out about their capabilities. In addition, I had the opportunity to serve both on the sea crew (that is, to be a practitioner) and on shore.
IN Lately It has become fashionable to criticize our technology and praise foreign achievements in the field of military shipbuilding, and both amateurs who have no real idea of the capabilities of our ships, as well as theoreticians, are taking the path of denigrating our achievements...
The nuclear submarine pr.671RT was designed in Leningrad SKB-143 (now SPMBM Malachite) under the leadership of chief designer G.N. Chernyshev, who, without a doubt, is an outstanding designer. His design solutions, embodied in metal, subsequently made it possible to create boats that are not only not inferior to their foreign counterparts, but also superior to them in some characteristics.
The main advantage that Project 671RT boats received compared to domestic first-generation boats and foreign nuclear submarines was the missile torpedo system (with 533 mm and 650 mm TA), which was a unique weapon for its time. The presence of such a complex made it possible, if necessary, to use anti-submarine missiles and extended-range torpedoes and destroy the enemy at distances greater than those at which he could effectively resist us...
When discussing the capabilities of the Leopards, we must remember that these are not only excellent ships, but also relatively cheap to build. It is appropriate to recall the construction of the American nuclear submarine "Seawolf": the US industry created a super-expensive and super-modern boat, but, it seems to me, they realized that they had paid too high a price for the small achievements that they managed to achieve, and, as a result, stopped their construction. Americans always count money, and the “efficiency/cost” criterion in this case apparently did not suit them.
When talking about certain capabilities of domestic and foreign nuclear submarines, they often forget that, figuratively speaking, not only boats, but also entire systems are involved in underwater confrontation. The government approach in the US Navy is felt in everything, from basing, crewing, to combat training, and long voyages.
Their concept of using nuclear submarines is linked to government policy, the actions of submariners are sanctioned and approved by the high level, and there is a clear and well-thought-out policy in the field of scuba diving. In areas of constant operation, the Americans always deploy their bases, where boat crews can rest, replenish supplies and put equipment in order...”
