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.
