MOSCOW, November 23 (RIA Novosti) - A Russian diesel-electric submarine from the Black Sea Fleet is being towed to the port of Novorossiisk after suffering an engine malfunction during sea drills, a Black Sea Fleet official said.

The Alrosa, a Kilo class diesel submarine, was on a training exercise in the Black Sea on Saturday when it reportedly experienced some problems with its jet propulsion system.

"The submarine is being towed in a surfaced position to the port of Novorossiisk. Its arrival is expected on Monday. Experts will establish the cause of the malfunction there," the source said.

A Russian Navy spokesman earlier said the situation on the submarine was under control and there was no danger to the crew.

He also said the submarine would continue the drills after the problem is fixed.

Alrosa, commissioned in 1990, is the only submarine in active service with the Black Sea Fleet. It is based at a Russian naval base in Sevastopol on Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.

No news about armament - Klub system?

Submarine B-800 "Kaluga", built in 1989, has received an experimental propeller of a special alloy "Aurora", which has 7 blades is L-shaped. Also on the boat was equipped with escape hatch, allowing evacuated from the submarine from a depth of 250 meters. Equipment BC-5 was reviewed, and the main propulsion motor and drive economic progress were more low rpm, and therefore quieter than two head boats Project B-401 and B-402. On the boat had the optional navigational equipment. As a result of upgrades were somewhat cramped living conditions on the boat.

Yes she is getting Kalibr compatibility.

Excellent. Those little subs will become real killers with those missiles and will gain ability to strike surface targets as well.

Kaluga back in service after factory trials!

Submarine arrived @ Zvezdochka back in 2002, but it took 8 years for money to arrive for repairs. It was under the knife for 2 years, and in 2012 went back to sea.
The service life of the boat has been extended by 10 years.
Modernizations include an entirely new Combat Command System ( BIUS in Russian ), new control interface, and other small new things.
This is the first 887 repaired and modernized by Zvezdochka, and in 2014 they will receive the Yaroslavl for repairs (they got a control for all of the North Fleets diesel boats) .

Full photo report on the launch.

Btw, am I the only one who thinks Karpenko's site layout is hilarious? He posts huge high res photo-reports about all sorts of interesting stuff, and the website he places them on looks like it was made in 1999.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet will receive Six submarines  as a part of the 636.3 Project until 2016.

Three submarines will be available to sailors this year.

These are diesel-electric submarines: "Novorossiysk", "Rostov-on-Don," Stary Oskol." They belong to the third generation class of ships "Varshavyanka" (NATO – Kilo classification).

Man I hate defense journos.

The Novorosiisk was laid down in 2010, has just been launched, and is not yet commissioned.
Stary Oskol was laid down 2 years later, has not been launched (and neither has the Rostov, which was laid down in late 2011), and they say all 3 will be commissioned THIS year?

Bull.
