K-329 Severodvinsk is a Russian nuclear attack submarine of the Graney class.[3] The construction of the submarine was started in 1993 and was launched on June 15, 2010. The submarine could be ready for missile test launching soon after. The sub is expected to begin operational service with the Russian Navy in 2011.[4] The Russian navy plans to have two submarines in the Graney class in service by 2015.[5]
It is interesting to note that the torpedo-launching systems have been fitted behind the compartment of the central station.[6]
