The Sevmash Shipyard in the northern Russian port of Severodvinsk has confirmed the delivery of the nuclear submarine Vladimir Monomakh to the Russian Navy Wednesday.

The Project 955 vessel completed a full round of testing earlier this year, including a test launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) in Kamchatka on Sept. 10.

The nuclear submarine will join the Russian Navy in an official flagraising ceremony on Dec. 19, naval sources confirmed on Wednesday.

According to Itar-Tass news agency, a total of eight new Borey submarines have been commissioned under the auspices of Project 955, with the last vessel in the series due for completion by 2020.

The subs will be equipped with 16 Bulava missiles each and will together form the basis of the Russian Navy's strategic nuclear capability over the coming decades.
