The Russian multipurpose 4th generation nuclear submarine K-561 "Kazan" (the second in the series under Project 885M "Yasen-M") received its name from the legendary 2nd generation Soviet submarine K-403 "Kazan" (Project 667A "Navaga"), whose conning tower became a military-historical memorial in Victory Park in the city of Kazan.
The strategic missile submarine K-403 was built in 1971 at the Sevmash plant according to the design of the Rubin Design Bureau. "Kazan" was part of the Northern Fleet and was assigned to the port of Gadzhiyevo in the Murmansk region.
During its years of service, the submarine made many voyages to sea, underwent several modernizations, and participated in tests of sonar systems for new generations of submarines.
After being withdrawn from the Northern Fleet, the K-403 "Kazan" was sent to the Zvezdochka enterprise for disposal. The shipbuilders preserved the conning tower of the submarine and delivered it to the capital of Tatarstan in 2010.
The length of the conning tower is 22 meters, the height is 6 meters, the width is 3.5 meters, and the weight is up to 95 tons. Torpedoes, a sea mine, an AK-230 artillery mount, and a Utes-M machine gun are located near the object.
