The Oscar II nuclear-powered cruise
missile submarine, which displaces more than 24,000 tons when under water, is
one of Russia's
largest and most capable submarines. The submarine is equipped with 24 SS-N-19 cruise missiles with a range
of 550km. The
missiles could be launched while the submarine is submerged. The torpedo tubes
fire both torpedoes and shorter range anti-ship missiles. 11 of the Oscar II
submarines were built between 1985 and 1999. Three have been decommissioned and
one, the Kursk,
sank. Two Oscar II submarines are active with the Northern Fleet and five with
the Pacific Fleet.
