Nuclear submarine for India returns to Russian docks

Nuclear submarine, ‘Nerpa’ (Project 9711) has returned to Vostock and is now docked in the finishing dock of the Amur Shipyard in Russia after the second round of tests last week.

The second round of tests began at the end of July and were necessary due to the death of 20 crewmembers during the first round of tests in which there was a gas explosion. Repairs alone cost US$60 million.
