Submarine K-3 - long-lived nuclear submarine country

3
When it comes to the nuclear submarine K-3 "Leninsky Komsomol", in its address are used such epithets as "unique", "only".

This is the first nuclear submarine in our country, which was launched on October 9 1957 in Severodvinsk. At one time it was the most important achievement of the domestic industry. Its creation for the country has become as important a task as launching a man into space. This boat was originally designed as a nuclear submarine cruiser.



With its advent, the K-3 submarine made a lot of noise in the West. She was first talked about in the world when the Soviet submarine was the first to work ascent in the ice at the North Pole.

During the 33 service year, this ship was tested with water, fire, and copper pipes.

The submarine K-3 is still afloat, but without screws and engines. Submariners have been waiting for the third decade when their long-lived Leninist Komsomol will become a museum, as planned by the government.

The crew of the program "Military Acceptance" of TK Zvezda decided to support the idea of ​​creating a floating museum, since the sea is slowly but surely taking it away. If nothing is done, the ship will simply die.

To prove this, the program leader, together with the operator, will plunge into the depths of the sea and show what the nuclear-powered cruiser actually looks like from under water.

    I had to go to the seas on such a project in the mid-80s.
    Well, how was it? Was on an internship then in Sovetskaya Gavan, took the crew of the boat and went to the Tatar Strait to pass the tasks. Of course, I had to dive, check the rugged case for strength. The sight that had never been before and did not know about the first projects was probably scary)), everywhere in the boat there are cans and jars, DUK bags, where water constantly drips (during immersion, the robust housing squeezes and leaks almost all pipelines on the joints). And basically a week spent at sea in the Tatar Strait in the water. And it is in a storm. The pitching was lateral and keel, almost half the crew suffered from seasickness, but nobody refused daily chocolates and wobbles ((. During lunch (I ate in the first, torpedo compartment), a significant part of the dishes and food were under torpedoes during pitching, but it was good, there was a lot of canned compote left in the cans, and in general, then they gave a lot of goodies to the submariners, there was no wine anymore, Hunchback tried to. Underwater position was happy for everyone — much calmer than on the surface. There is no cabin for all officers and midshipmen I don’t remember the sailors. We organized sleeping and living places ourselves, where anyone would like.
    This is due to the fact that we need not only submarines, but also oceanic large military vessels.
