Plastic model kit for the Russian Oscar-II-Class submarine K-141 Kursk
The Kursk measured 154 m in length and 18.2 m in width, with a displacement—depending on the source—of approximately 14,700 tonnes surfaced and around 23,900 tonnes submerged. Its propulsion system consisted of two OK-650B pressurized water reactors (each with a thermal output of approximately 190 MW) and two steam turbines. Underwater, the submarine could reach speeds of about 32–33 knots. The crew consisted of 118 personnel.
The K-141 Kursk was built at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, launched in 1994, and commissioned in late 1994 or 1995. It was part of the Northern Fleet and based at Vidyayevo. On August 12, 2000, the Kursk was participating in an exercise during maneuvers in the Barents Sea. Following an explosion in the forward torpedo room, the submarine sank to a depth of approximately 100 meters. All 118 crew members lost their lives.
The wreck was recovered in 2001, though the destroyed bow section was left behind. The *Kursk* was subsequently dismantled. The disaster brought the submarine worldwide attention and is considered one of the most tragic events in the history of the Russian Navy since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
