History of the Kursk Submarine (K-141)

The K-141 Kursk submarine belonged to the Oscar II Class (Project 949A Antey), which formed the backbone of the Soviet and Russian fleet of cruise missile submarines. Kursk was built in the late 1990s and entered service in 1994 as a response to the American Ohio-class submarines. It was one of the largest submarines in the world. The main task of Oscar II units was to combat NATO carrier groups using P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles. Kursk went down tragically in history during the disaster in the Barents Sea in August 2000, which was one of the largest peacetime tragedies of the post-Cold War period.
