The first Russian nuclear submarine K-3 "Leninsky Komsomol" became a museum

The only indoor museum in the world opened in Kronstadt, which housed an entire nuclear submarine. The main exhibit of the Museum of Naval Glory in Kronstadt was the first Soviet nuclear submarine K-3 Leninsky Komsomol. Now it is one of the most unique military museum sites in the world. This is not an installation, but a full-size first Soviet nuclear submarine of Project 627 Kit. The creation of the K-3 submarine was a national task in the USSR—35 institutes, more than 20 design bureaus, and about 100 industrial enterprises worked on its solution. The progress of construction of the first nuclear submarine was strictly classified. It was forbidden to even take the drawings into the workshop where the nuclear-powered ship was being built. Before a work shift, workers entered a specially designated room, read the drawings and memorized them. Secrecy was also maintained for the crew; when training sailors at the first Soviet nuclear power plant, they were forbidden to even call each other by name. To restore the submarine, a complex project was developed and implemented to relocate the K-3 nuclear submarine from the Kola Peninsula, from the Nerpa shipyard in the city of Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk region, to St. Petersburg. The K-3 submarine "Leninsky Komsomol" was launched in 1957 and withdrawn from the Northern Fleet in 1991. The service history of the K-3 submarine was difficult and sometimes tragic.
