TK-17 Arkhangelsk
TK-17 is a strategic nuclear submarine of the Russian naval navy and the fifth of six ships of class 941 (NATO code: Typhoon ).
construction
TK-17 was laid down on August 9, 1983 in the Sevmasch shipyard in Severodvinsk and added to the inventory of the naval fleet on March 3, 1984 . The launch was completed on December 12, 1986 when it 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 15, 1987 and on February 19, 1988 TK-17 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 . TK-17 survived the collapse of the Soviet Union without any particular incident.
Service in the naval navy of the Russian Federation
After the upheaval, TK-17 continued to conduct patrols. In 1994 TK-17 was damaged when a torpedo detached itself from the crane while loading torpedoes and hit the deck. The fire this caused slightly damaged the ship. From August 2001 to November 9, 2002 TK-17 underwent its main overhaul in the Svyosdotschka shipyard . On November 18, 2002 TK-17 was christened Arkhangelsk . In February 2004, President Vladimir Putin visited TK-17 and inspected the combat ship. He also had a conversation with officers and was informed about the conditions under which they perform their service. The conversation continued at a dinner between the President and the officers. Aboard the Arkhangelsk Vladimir Putin also held a consultation from where Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov , the head of Seekriegsflotte , Vladimir Kuroyedov , and the head of the operational headquarters of the General Staff, Alexander Rukschin attended. From aboard the Arkhangelsk , Putin wanted to watch the launch of two RSM-54 missiles from the not far away K-407 Novomoskovsk . Initially, a missile launch from the nuclear submarine Novomoskovsk, announced in the state newspapers, did not take place. Two rockets should be fired from there and hit a target on the Kamchatka Peninsula, news agencies reported. For reasons that are still unclear, however, the security system prevented a missile from being launched, said a government official. The online service gazeta.ru, however, reported that the rocket broke apart shortly after its launch due to an engine failure.
During 2005, TK-17 Arkhangelsk launched their last 10 RSM-52s into space, where they self-destructed.
The submarine is currently assigned to the reserve and is based in Severodvinsk. As in the case of the TK-20 Severstal, the decommissioning and subsequent scrapping is to take place by 2020.
