  • Three are here at Severodvinsk; the fourth is at Zapadnaya Litsa.
  • The photo taken in Zapadnaya Litsa is from 2005, here is 2007 (september). More possible that one in Zapadnaya Litsa is here.
  • Sat Pic from 24.Spet 2007 - it's K 208 Dimitry Donskoy. Serve as Test Ship for SS-N-30 Bulava msl
  • THE FOURTH THIS SCRAPPED
  • This dock was featured in Breaking up the Biggest on National Geographic, the Gantry was used to defuel either TK-12 or TK-13, then it was moved to the dry dock ENE of here for scrapping. Not sure if that is the sub that was the typhoon that was pictured here though.
  • No, this dock isn't used for defueling nuclear submarines, it's only for load/unload SLBM. Defueling is/and was performed other side on Zvezdochka plant, where was performed "Breaking up the Biggest" on National Geographic,
