«Komsomolets" - the submarine, which says a lot.The submarine had a large number of technical innovations in comparison with analogues.For example, its designers decided to abandon the huge loading hatch, which reduces the strength of the vessel.In addition, there was a purge tank is installed at the expense of gas generators, which greatly speeds up the rise from great depths."Komsomolets" - the submarine, set a world record for diving, which amounted to 1 032 meters and surpassed to this day.To ensure the safety of the crew was equipped with submarine rescue chamber that could emerge from a depth of one and a half kilometers and accommodate the entire staff.Moreover, all seven compartments got extinguishing media, and in the second and third organized rescue zone.
Despite such serious measures that have been taken by builders, April 7, 1989 there was the death of the submarine "Komsomolets".It happened in the Norwegian Sea, approximately 180 km from Bear Island.As a result of this tragedy, we managed to save 27 crew members from 69. All the rest were killed.To investigate the government created a group that was supposed to shed light on the causes of the incident.However, the result of this work was the conclusion that the Soviet champion drowned due to the banal fire of electrical wiring, which led to a fire in the aft compartment.Now the vessel is in the same place at a depth of about 1600 meters.
Along with this, many scientists are still trying to understand why still sunk submarine "Komsomolets".The mystery of the death of the submarine and now is an active debate around the world.Pilots involved in the rescue work, said that initially they saw two rafts that floated near the site of the disaster.Seafarers was dropped inflatable boat, which they have not discovered the next entry.Moreover, also turned over and one of the rafts, and 17.08 the vessel is completely gone under water.About half an hour after that a floating fishing base was raised the first part of the crew.The rest was removed from the cold water alone.
«Komsomolets" - the submarine, which has caused the death of a real information war between the military and industrial sectors.There are a number of documents, according to which the sailors found serious shortcomings already at the first dive.For example, the water pressure tore off a rescue chamber, which then had to be found at the bottom, and redo.According to the builders, this resulted in only the actions of the crew of the submarine, which was incorrect.
From 1989 to 1998, the death of a submarine in the area was conducted seven expeditions using immersion manned submersibles "Mir".The aim of this work was to seal some sections, which houses the torpedoes with nuclear heads, as well as the installation of measuring equipment.During the last dive recorders and measuring instruments were found.From them, leaving only the anchor with traces neat slices.There is reason to assume that they are removed at the expense of the robots.And, most likely, it was the work of Western intelligence agencies.Whatever it was, "Komsomolets" - the submarine, which is the date of death in Russia was the Day of Remembrance of the dead submariners.
