Zitat:Russia Decommissions World’s Largest Submarinehttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...submarine/
The Russian Navy's Northern Fleet has finally decommissioned the "Dmitry Donskoy" (TK-208) Typhoon-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) according to Russia's TASS agency, citing cpt. Vladimir Maltsev, chairman of the All-Russian Fleet Support Movement, a non-governmental organization working for the good name of the Russian naval forces and shipping. It was the last of six Typhoon-class (Project 941) SSBNs, the largest ever built. [...]
The TK-208 measured 170.0×23.3 meters and displaced 48,000 tons submerged, more than most WWII battleships!
The keel of TK-208 was laid on July 17, 1976. The submarine was launched on September 29, 1980, and entered service on December 29, 1981. Five more submarines of this class were built. The seventh was not completed for financial and political reasons – both related to the collapse of the Soviet empire. In 2002, Dmitry Donskoy underwent the project 941UM modernization, after which it participated in tests of the Bulava missile system.
