Russia’s new nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine, Ulyanovsk, entered the last construction phase before going for trials and delivery to the Russian Navy.
The launch event was organised on Jun 28, 2026, at Severodvinsk’s Sevmash Shipyard, where it was taken from the construction site into the water for outfitting.
The submarine weighs 13,800 tons and was built under Moscow’s Project 885M (Yasen-M). The original Project 885 Severodvinsk entered service in 2014.
Onboard systems will also be fitted by workers while the submarine remains alongside the shipyard before going for state acceptance trials before its scheduled delivery in December 2027.
Ulyanovsk will join the Northern Fleet once it enters service. Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev said the submarine is part of a larger effort to modernise the country’s naval forces.
