Good news....
Such ships must end their combat path either in a museum, or they themselves become a museum ..

[Bashkirkhan]

There are only two ways. Or to a museum or recycling.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

I'm talking about possible disposal. Were these first boats made of steel or straight from titanium? A?

[Bashkirkhan]

Of steel. Titanium hull structures on Soviet nuclear submarines appeared later. And then only on individual projects.

[Machito]

Serious repairs are ahead. And then I remember the words of Fesco, Fesco, from the film Raise the Perescope:
- What do you think of our boat, Fesco?
- It's a complete ... delight. She doesn't fall apart just because her birds are fucked up. (WITH)

Hmm, we already managed to get it ...
What kind of people, for the sake of profit, they are dragging everything! It would be nice to conduct an investigation and attach a commemorative plaque with the names of those who stole the screws.

But at least she survived. Unlike the same TAVKR "Minsk" (and a lot more about what. When the All-Russian "derban"... How many years "Strelok" stood in the bay (if I remember correctly) Half way between Nakhodka and Vladivostokm. Became almost a detail of the landscape. As you go there or back it is worth to itself on "yashke".

And the story of the cruiser "Murmansk", which became for 15 years a "monument" to the liberal authorities of Russia, thrown on the rocks of the Sørøya island near the settlement of Server, where in the evenings at low tide, the Norwegians arranged Walpurgis nights.
And how many ships in the "derban" sank at the berths, there is no number.

Sorry, in response to Minsk and a couple of hundred more ships, the Americans cut much more efficient ships. Nuclear cruisers, Olivier Perry frigates, a couple of normal avics, in contrast to 1123 and 1143, so the potentials should be weighed.

[Region-25.rus]

"Minsk" was actually sold at the price of scrap metal to China. By "survived" (a) I meant not sold and not cut into metal))

Why is profit necessary? It is possible that it was used as a donor for the restoration of other ships. This is very widely practiced. I did it myself. If the plane is laid up, everything that is required to restore the combat readiness of others is removed from it. And the boat suffered more from corrosion. You will have to tinker with this.

The propellers and streamlining were dismantled at the factory.

and stick back?

There Shoigu's daughter rules, everything will be assembled in the best possible way.

I was at Lenkom. "Still a pioneer.)) Good news. Let the descendants watch and be proud.

it is surprising that this nuclear submarine was generally preserved during the sawing of everything and everything in the 90s and early 1957s in Russia. And the current condition of the boat is normal, after all, the boat was released in 30 and has been without operation for XNUMX years.

No wonder: then they sawed what was available. And the cemeteries of nuclear submarines in the North are usually located at all five points, and disposal from them proceeds slowly. So, K-159 (project 627A, entered service 4 years after K-3) was pulled from Gremikha to Nerpa in 2003.
And K-3 was first decided to be museumified, then disposed of (in 2013), then mothballed, then museumified again.
