“The nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine went to the White Sea on May 12. Its trials took place above- and underwater. Tugboats of the White Sea naval base and the Mikhail Rudnitsky rescue vessel were used to provide search-and-rescue support during the trials of the Knyaz Vladimir submarine,”

The submarine is planned to join the Navy after the results of the trials are analyzed.

The major part of the trials, including missile and submerged torpedo firing, was completed by the Knyaz Vladimir in late 2019. At that time, the submarine was supported by forces of the Northern Fleet’s White Sea naval base.
