sea trials will start in the summer of this year, Sevmash said.
Vladimir Monomakh will be the third and last Project 955 boat, armed
with 16 Bulava ballistic missiles. The fourth and subsequent boats will
be Project 955A vessels with 20 missiles. The fourth boat, Knyaz Vladimir,
is under construction.
Vladimir Monomakh has also been built with the incorporation of the
latest acoustic signature reduction techniques, Sevmash said.
The Russian Navy accepted into service the first boat of the class,
Yury Dolgoruky, on January 10. The second in the class, Alexander Nevsky,
is currently undertaking sea trials and is due to enter service this
year.
