It should be noted that this is the fourth or fifth new date for the transfer of the submarine to the customer. The reasons for the constant shift "to the right" are not announced, the last date was called April. At the same time, neither the press service of the Russian Navy, nor Sevmash, where Prince Vladimir is located, comment on the deadlines for the submarine cruiser. It can be assumed that the timing of submarine delivery is also affected by the spread of coronavirus, which forced the company to switch to a special work schedule.
Earlier it was reported that after the tests of the APKSN "Prince Vladimir" was sent to Sevmash to correct the identified shortcomings. In March of this year, information appeared that the cruiser is fully ready for transfer and its commissioning will take place before May 9.
