Severodvinsk is World Most Silent Nuclear-Powered Submarine: Russia

In spite of being built for 17 years, nuclear-powered submarine Severodvinsk will be armed with most advanced weapons and, perhaps, will become the world most silent sub, said Capt 1 rank Alexei Poteshkin, Northern Fleet (NF) submarine force executive officer.

"State trials of the submarine will be held this year. Hopefully, upon their results Severodvinsk will be recognized the most advanced and silent – which is the main feature of submarines – ship in the world", said A. Poteshkin at Tuesday's press conference.

He pointed out that despite 17 years have passed since the sub's keel laying, arms and equipment were installed in the very recent time. "Basically, 17 years is only the hull's age, but filling is the most up-to date", Poteshkin said.

The submarine has been considerably changed, noted the officer. "The sub will be equipped only with the newest arms and hardware", underlined Poteshkin.

Answering the question of tasks for SSGN Severodvinsk, Poteshkin said it would be escorting strategic ships and performing other functions ordinary for attack subs.

Launching ceremony of SSGN Severodvinsk was triumphantly held on Tuesday at Sevmash shipyard in the presence of Dmitry Medvedev, the President of the Russian Federation.

It is being built for last 17 years because of financial reasons.

Had Russians got enough money one would have seen 17 such subs in 17 years.

no doubt ...russians are known for building silent subs...

 

[Super Falcon]

hahahahah which subs are silent other than this one sir most of their subs floated themsleves hahahah remember what happened in exercise but no offence russians are great when we talk of subs and fighter jets they are equally better as their western counterparts

 

[jha]

^^^ Bhai saab..russians are known for building silent subs..this is no secret..they were first to introduce anechoic tiles on their subs, which even now some countries have not perfected ..

Hi,

Even though the russians are claiming it to be the silent most---it is very much doubted that it will come close to the sea wolf class american subs.

The russians may stake the claim---but the problem is that the americans have better sensors and elctronics package in their subs. Plus their crews are trained round the clock and the americans have been continuously making subs of the highest quality.

Now some of the newer torps the russians have would bring a lots of headache to the american sub fleet.

well it may be possible that russians may b exagerating their claims,but their is nothing to deny that they have mastered this technology to a level which can equally challenge the american counterparts

Hi,

When you look at it numerically---it doesnot add up. The russian submarine program has been rusting for the almost 20 years. Regardless of what they have---they just cannot simply pop up one day and claim their spot.

The biggest problem they have is the inoperative subs---a total lack of training for the sub crew----the KURSK---.

Might very well be true as it has silently been developed for 17 years
