Kursk Submarine Docking Delayed for Further Checks
The Kursk wreck was raised to Roslyakovo shipyard and prepared for dry docking but Dutch engineers requested more calculations and checks before the docking, postponing it to next week. Northern Fleet spokesman Capt. Vladimir Navrotsky said there is no rush and safety requires thorough prep of the barge submarine and pontoons. The operation lifted the submarine from the seabed using a giant barge and steel cables after the 118 crew were killed in 2000.
