Special mission nuclear submarines

AS-12, also known as "Losharik" - Russian deep nuclear submarine (the official Russian naval classification - deep nuclear station), not carrying weapons and can dive to depths of up to 1000 [3] , and according to some sources even before 6000 meters [4] . Can be used for special operations of various kinds, according to unconfirmed reports, can dive to a depth of six kilometers and is equipped with various equipment for underwater work [5]
Nuclear Power Plant Project 10831 [1] , serial number 01210 [citation 1,057 days] , some sources indicate the side number [6] or project number 210 [2] was developed by designers Bureau "Malachite" in the 1980s . The chief designer of the project - General Designer of deep-technical means, the Hero of Russia Yu M. Konovalov . Project 10831 was a further development of nuclear stations deepwater projects in 1910 "Sperm Whale" and 1851 "Halibut" . [3] The construction of the submarine was carried out in 1988, and in the 1990s due to lack of funding and the rejection of the concept of operations for special purposes, it was conserved and early 2000s was continued.

Design and construction of the submarine was carried out under conditions of high secrecy . The number of people employed in the process of construction workers and engineers submarines rigidly regulated in the course of 15 years, who had gone to her building [7] [8] .

The submarine, which was given the tactical number AS-12, 13 August 2003 [3], [4] was derived from the slipway shop number 42 factory "Sevmash" . At the ceremony O submarine from the slipway attended Navy Commander Vladimir Kuroyedov and representatives of CB "Malachite" . Three days later, was promoted to the descent of the submarine water [7] [8] .

At the end of September 2012 the submarine participated in a research expedition "Arctic-2012", during which collect soil and rock samples at a depth of 2.5-3 km for 20 days. [9] [10]

In January 2015, the Russian edition of " Top Gear "published the first picture quality AC-12. The submarine was accidentally sfotografirovanna car during a photo shoot on the shores of the White Sea [11] .

Robust housing PL - polisferichesky , that is assembled from several spherical compartments (implemented the principle bathysphere ) made ​​of titanium and located inside the elongated body light "classical" form. Due to this, the rugged to withstand the water pressure at great depth.

According to experts, "Sevmash" appearance "Losharika" nothing can be said about this project embodied in the submarine capabilities [7] . According to open sources, the power plant is a small submarine nuclear reactor . The presence of weapons in the base of the submarine project information is not available.

Carrier "Losharika" is a special-purpose submarines BS-136 "Orenburg" [1] project 09786.

The name of the boat was on the cartoon character - horse of the balls.

Looks like the hump has been toned down drastically or has gone completely.
What will be the role of the submarine? What will it carry?

Originally built to be a SSBM but converted to be a mini-sub carrier.

Oh I assume for various special missions that require mini subs will this be the only sub carrier russia fields or will there be more?

The Russian towing submarine B-90 "Sarov" project 20120 was made allegedly autonomous underwater shock test apparatus, conventionally referred to the US as Kanyon. Kanyon device associated with the sensational "ocean multipurpose system" status-6, developed by JSC" CDB ME "Rubin".
