ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 28 (Interfax-AVN) - The first strategic nuclear submarine of Project 955 Borei, the Alexander Nevsky, will be transferred to the Russian Navy in January, a Navy Main Staff source told Interfax-AVN.
"The Alexander Nevsky will be handed over to the Navy no early than in January," the source said.
The submarine's recent final trials in the White Sea exposed a number of "minor problems that, nonetheless, should be fixed," he said.
A Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile will be test-launched from the Alexander Nevsky after the submarine joins the Navy, he added.
