Aljazeera, 24 May 23

The Generalissimo Suvorov, which entered service at the end of 2022, is part of the new Borei class of stealthier, more nimble undersea vessels.

Russia plans to move its newest nuclear submarine to a permanent base in the Kamchatka Peninsula in August, according to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency, as Moscow steps up its military presence in the Pacific.

The Generalissimo Suvorov, which entered service at the end of 2022, carries up to 16 nuclear-tipped Russian Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles, each of which can carry more than one nuclear warhead.  https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/24/russia-to-move-newest-nuclear-sub-to-pacific-in-august—
