It took 12 years to close the Yuri Dolgoruky. The shipbuilding process was long and difficult because the Russian navy lost many talents and lacked money, in the post-chaotic period of the late 1990s.
The Yuri Dolgoruky - named after a Slavic prince who protected Moscow in history - can dive down to a depth of 450 m, carrying a crew of 107 people, capable of living in the water for 100 days customary
The amount to close this ship is 23 billion rubles, or 890 million USD. Russia will build 8 more ships between now and 2018. The country currently has the second largest submarine fleet in the world, after the United States.
