Project 941UM submarine missile-carrier "Dmitry Donskoy", awaiting disposal, was decommissioned from the fleet

The last "Shark" of the Russian fleet left in Severodvinsk to await disposal. Submarine missile carrier "Dmitry Donskoy" was decommissioned from the Russian Navy. This was announced by the head of the All-Russian Fleet Support Movement Vladimir Maltsev.

The heavy strategic nuclear submarine "Dmitry Donskoy" was not sent to Sevmash, it will wait for disposal at the naval base in Severodvinsk, along with two more submarines of this project, which have actually already grown ashore, but are still in reserve. The timing of the disposal of the last "Shark" has not yet been determined.

The submarine cruiser "Dmitry Donskoy" was decommissioned from the Russian Navy. It will await disposal at the naval base in Severodvinsk, along with two other submarines of this project.

- leads TASS Maltsev's words.

Despite the fact that the submarine has completed its 40-year service, the name "Dmitry Donskoy" will remain in the lists of the Russian fleet, it was received by the new strategic submarine of the Borey-A project, which is being built at Sevmash.

The TK-208 Dmitry Donskoy, a heavy nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine, is the lead in a series of six Project 941 Akula submarines. Laid down at Sevmash on June 17, 1976, launched on September 23, 1980, commissioned on December 29, 1981. In 2002, he underwent modernization, after which he took part in the tests of the Bulava missile. Today it is the largest submarine in the world and the last "Shark" of the Russian fleet. Three "Sharks" were disposed of not without the "help" of the United States, two more are in reserve.

Everything has its time. And so it was the turn of the giant. The very first in the series is the last to go. So we are waiting for a new Dmitry Donskoy in 2 years ... of the Borey-A project. According to the plan, in 2 years the fleet will include Dmitry Donskoy of a new generation and therefore it is impossible to have two cruisers with the same name in the fleet at the same time.

To dispose of this is a sin. At least one should be preserved as a museum. This is a monument to the genius of Soviet shipbuilding.

Yes, this has been posted here many times! Pull it ashore and make it a museum - people will go to such a monster in droves! If, for comparison, next to put for comparison a fragment of a model of a residential high-rise building I myself would go with great pleasure there, on a boat!

The resort town of Novorossiysk, crowds of people, but on Kutuzov the excitement is imperceptible ... and Malaya Zemlya is almost deserted ...

yes, no one will occupy a dock of this size for a museum sample .. pull out the active circuit - you need to disassemble the floor of the boat ... The dinosaur died - descendants will find only bones

[VALERIK_097]

Can you imagine the size of the ship, Maxim? to distract from the production capacity of enterprises and the main production workers. Yes, and now there are no free stocks.

[globus]

Yes, you will even have to stand in line for recycling

5 days ago, the "news" was already.
moreover, again with a link to the same source .. is it really in our "quiet" time - you need to duplicate articles every 5 days, since there is nothing more to write about?
not to mention the fact that he has not been in the combat composition of the fleet for many years (does not go to the BS), performs other tasks in order to withdraw him from there and can simply be withdrawn from the fleet, not combat ...

And how else to cause dissatisfaction with the authorities in a war period???

The submarine cruiser "Dmitry Donskoy" was decommissioned from the Russian Navy.

40 years of service to the Motherland, it's time to retire. They fulfilled their purpose with honor and were a big thorn in the US sirloin. But times change, technologies change. Now this cruiser is not inconspicuous, therefore it was constantly accompanied by a whole escort of ships of potential enemies. In the meantime , let 's lower our flags and pay respect to the ship that honorably carried out the order .

[myrcot]

we do not need submarines and steamships at all - we will destroy enemies from the shore with zircons!

If they had decided to make a museum, I would have chipped in from my pension, and many, I’m sure they would, but the authorities don’t give a damn about memory and educating a new generation, it’s better to build another temple ...

[Alien From]

Damn it, I would join you!

Your pension would only be enough for brushes to paint this monster ONCE!

Well, that's different! In this way, and the paint would be enough to paint the board on ONE side !!!

[Aleksandr97]

There were glorious battleships of the Sevastopol type, now the Project 941 Akula TPK CH, the destruction of which, not a mistake, is a crime!

Thank you SHIP!

[Mouse]

It's a pity, but the time factor is inexorable.... thanks for the service!

[megadeth]

Sorry handsome. The era is gone. It was necessary to stop in the Crimea.

"Dmitry Donskoy" was not sent to Sevmash

Those. will it stand at the wall a kilometer from the wall of Sevmash? According to the author, one might think that there is at least a hundred kilometers between the plant and the Donskoy parking lot!

[Vashek]

These boats are out of luck. In the 90s, the life of the R-39 missiles - their weapons - expired. Change - the Bark missile was hacked to death by a group of Dvorkin, Sergeev and Solomonov. They imposed "Mace", a cat. did not fly for a long time, it did not suit them. The boats were left without missiles and, at the command of the United States, went for an early scrap. The remaining "Dm. Don." became a stand for testing the "Mace". And so she came to an end.

But in vain! You can still work with these giants, refine them, and they will still serve, to the glory of the Russian fleet and the country! Mattress makers were very afraid of them! So, let's continue to be afraid!

[Dmitry Karabanov]

Oh, at least make a museum out of it! It is a pity to simply cut such a technical masterpiece - Russia cannot do this anymore.
