Pavlovsloye underground submarine shelter

Russia / Primorje / Putyatin, Shkotovo-26 /
 invisible, underground facility, unfinished / unbuilt

One of famous ex-soviet underground submarine shelters, non-operational. Waterway passages closed to comply with START I treaty. Shelter may be put into operational use in case of war, but it would take long months to do so.

At the Pacific Fleet protivoatomny tunnel for submarines originally wanted to build on the image and likeness of Balaklava, ie as a dockyard, arsenal. But then due to lack of funds decided to build a marina, underground shelter for boats. Place selected recess, in the restricted zone on the shore of bays Paul, which were based diesel, and then a nuclear submarine. In one of the bay adjacent to the rocks and boil the work, which was conducted around the clock. Work carried out specialists from the Ministry of the special assembly brought from Moscow master metrostroevtsy and military construction.
In different years at a secret facility went head USSR Navy S. Gorshkov, Defense Minister A. Grechko, and then his successor in office D. Ustinov. Construction in the Bay Paul was under the supervision of senior Navy and Department of Defense.

The depth of the underwater channel, they say, is about 7 m, width - 7, the height to the arch set - 14 m, the total area of the underground haven of approximately 4 sq. m.
In the shelter at the same time can accommodate at least three modern missile. It was also constructed vertical shaft (6 - 8 meters wide), covering the rolling cover. It allows you to produce submarine launches its missiles on targets through the vertical shaft, while remaining invulnerable.

The construction was almost completed (to be built concrete gidrozatvory, carry out some internal work), when it suddenly stopped.
There are two versions of this: while there was construction, new diesel submarines, larger, which would not be able to enter into an already built underwater tunnel. And second: the United States have a new weapon nullifies the entire zateyu from a bunker for submarines.

Secret site inhibited, exposed safety. In this unfinished condition it is today.
