Delta-I arrived at Severodvinsk for dismantling
After 30 years of service, in August this year nuclear ballistic missile submarine K-447 of Delta-I class, factory no.311, was tugged for dismantling to Zvezdochka plant in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk region, daily Severny Rabochy reported.
Nuclear submarine of 667B project, class Delta-I, joined the Russian navy back in 1973. After completing repairs at Zvezdochka in 1992, K-447 returned to its base in January 1993, and now, 10 years later, it awaits dismantling moored in Severodvinsk. The dismantlement is financed through the US-sponsored Cooperative Threat Reduction program.
