TK-13

TK-13 was a strategic nuclear submarine of the Soviet naval fleet and the fourth of six ships of the class 941 (NATO code: Typhoon ).

construction

TK-13 was laid on February 23, 1980 in the Sevmasch shipyard in Severodvinsk and added to the inventory of the naval fleet on January 19, 1983. The launch was completed on April 30, 1985 when it was rolled out of the construction hall into a covered dry dock. This was followed by static tests in the dry dock and sea trials in the White Sea .

Service in the naval navy of the Soviet Union

The naval war fleet took over the new ship on December 26, 1985 and on February 15, 1986 TK-13 was incorporated into the newly established 18th Division of the 1st Flotilla of the Northern Fleet in the Nerpichya Bay near Sapadnaja Liza . Deterrent patrols followed in the Barents Sea and the North Sea . In September 1987 Mikhail Gorbachev visited the submarine.

TK-13 initially survived the collapse of the USSR.

Service in the naval navy of the Russian Federation

After the collapse of the Soviet Union , TK-13 spent most of the service time at the pier. A few practice and training trips followed. Due to disarmament efforts and rapid financial cuts, TK-13 was outsourced from the combat fleet of the naval fleet and decommissioned in 1997. The submarine was finally scrapped in 2009.
