Submarine Repair Facility
Approximately 4 kilometers long, Pala Bay juts southwest and lies southeast of Olenya Bay. It has a very narrow entrance, only 500 meters wide, which is partially blocked by a small island, making the navigational passage only 200 to 300 meters.
The submarine repair facility reportedly includes two covered floating dry docks, and has docked and worked on Kefal I and II [NATO Names: Victor I and Victor II] SSNs, Kit [NATO Name: November] SSNs, and Barrakuda [NATO Name: Sierra] SSNs.
The Amur and Vala class radioactive waste transport ships have been seen at the Pala Bay repair facility, and Russian sources note that Pala Bay also contains a radioactive waste storage facility on the eastern side of the Bay.
