TASS:
MOSCOW, July 25. /TASS/. The Project 955 first nuclear-powered submarine Yuri Dolgoruky is set to undergo medium repairs, Zvyozdochka Shipyard CEO Sergei Marichev told TASS on Wednesday.
“A day is not far away” when the first fourth-generation nuclear-powered submarine arrives in Severodvinsk, he said.
“There are no doubts that the repairs of the Yuri Dolgoruky should be carried out at the Zvyozdochka Shipyard,” he stressed, without specifying the repairs timeframe.
The submarine Yuri Dolgoruky traveled thousands of miles back at the stage of its trials before it entered service with the Russian Navy, the Zvyozdochka Shipyard chief executive said.
Besides, “it was used quite intensively during its operation,” he said. “When the Defense Ministry makes a decision to withdraw the ship for repairs, we will accept it,” Marichev said.
