Data Figure: Russian Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine

According to the Russian Navy Network September 29, 2011 reported that Russia’s Defense Ministry said the Russian Defense Ministry decided to retire in 2014 all 941-type “Typhoon”-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines. The world’s largest submarine retired because of strategic weapons reduction treaty (START-3) restrictions imposed on Russia, and 955 “north wind” class strategic nuclear submarine of the test was successful. All retired “Typhoon”-class submarines will be dismantled.

strategic arms reduction treaty, Russia and the U.S. signed in the spring of 2010. The treaty would limit both the number of deployed nuclear weapons in the 1550 level. Have been built in a “north wind” class submarines (through the test of “尤里多尔戈鲁基” was launched and the end of 2010′s “Alexander Nevsky”) and “Delta Ⅳ” class submarines up can carry 1100 nuclear warheads. The remaining 400 nuclear warheads will be deployed in remote air and strategic missile forces.

“Typhoon” class submarines retired Another reason is the “north” class submarines in service end of 2011. New submarine crew than the 941 needed to type “Typhoon”-class submarines reduced 1.5 times. In addition, it is worth noting that “north wind” class submarine maintenance costs even lower. “North Wind”-class submarines smaller, its detection more difficult.

However, the retired submarine can be used as non-strategic needs, such as carry cruise missiles or other conventional weapons, the expedition or freight. Jeff Marsh shipyard experts say, 941 “Typhoon”-class submarines can be converted into the task of the season are able to use liquefied natural gas tanker or cargo ship underwater. However, the Defense Department has no plans for the “Typhoon”-class submarine modification, alteration work may cost tens of billions.

“Typhoon”-class submarines between the Soviet Union was built in 1976-1989. Each submarine equipped with 20 R-39 and R-39U missile launch tubes, each submarine can carry up to 200 nuclear warheads. Currently, the Russian Navy 3 “Typhoon”-class submarines as a new “Bulava” missile test platform, three submarines are “Dmitry ? East Vanscoy”, “Arkhangelsk” No. “谢维尔斯塔尔” number.
