Yasen-class

Russia's most advanced nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine — a multirole SSGN combining torpedo attack with a vertical-launch cruise-missile arsenal, and the quietest Russian submarine ever built.

Overview

The Yasen-class (Project 885/885M, NATO reporting name Severodvinsk, sometimes referred to as Graney) is a family of Russian fourth-generation nuclear-powered attack submarines designed for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface strike, and land-attack cruise-missile missions. Built by Sevmash at Severodvinsk, the boats are the Russian Navy’s premier undersea combatants and the quietest Russian submarines ever fielded. The class bridges the gap between a traditional attack submarine (SSN) and a cruise-missile carrier (SSGN), carrying up to 32 Kalibr, Oniks, and Zircon missiles in vertical silos in addition to heavyweight torpedoes.
