| New Russian Submarine |
| 2010-03-15 |
| A new Russian nuclear-powered multipurpose attack submarine will be floated out on May 7, a shipyard spokesman said on Monday. Construction of the Severodvinsk, a Project 885 Yasen (Graney) class submarine, began in 1993 at the Sevmash shipyard in the northern Russian city of Severodvinsk but has since been dogged by financial setbacks. "A floating out ceremony for Russia's new Severodvinsk nuclear submarine at the Sevmash shipyard has been scheduled for May 7," the official said. |

| #5 Plus I am certain that every single weld in that boat has been independently inspected and magnafluxed to insure integrity and correct positioning. |

| #3 17 years to build it? And I'm sure the future crew must be thrilled to see the phrase "dogged by financial setbacks" in there. |

| #2 I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering if this new sub would sink to the bottom as well as some other Russian subs have. I'm trying hard not to bring up French carriers. ;) |

| #1 Is it like normal Russian subs? Or can it surface as well as submerge? |
