Construction
May 3, 1984 the submarine was included in the lists of ships of the Navy of the USSR.
In March 1984, a crew was formed with the subordination of the 80th OBRSPL KTOF [1] .
Laid on February 23, 1988 at the shipyard named after Lenin Komsomol in Komsomolsk-on-Amur .
April 14, 1989 was launched.
On June 28, 1989, K-391 was transferred from the plant in Komsosmolsk-on-Amur to Bolshoi Kamen to the outfitting base of the Vostok defense and industrial complex, and was credited to the 72nd OBRSRPL KTOF [1] .
On December 29, 1989, an acceptance certificate was signed [1] .
Design Features
Compared with other representatives of the series, K-391 carried out additional measures to reduce noise, and for the first time, nasal launchers of sonar control were installed, and an emergency system of powder purging of the central cylinder was mounted [1] .
Service
January 13, 1990 on the submarine raised the naval flag of the USSR [1] .
On February 28, 1990, it became part of the 45th DiPL of the 2nd Fleet of the Pacific Fleet based in Vilyuchinsk (Krasheninnikov Bay). During 1990, the K-391 underwent extensive acoustic tests, after which various sub-noise reduction work was carried out on the submarines. For the development of new equipment and weapons, the commander of the 1st rank captain S. A. Golobokov and the senior assistant to the commander of the 2nd rank captain S. M Igishev were awarded the 3rd degree Order of Service to the Homeland in the USSR Armed Forces [1] .
From September 10 to November 25, 1991 K-391 under the command of the captain of the 2nd rank S. M. Igishev (senior captain of the 1st rpg K. S. Sidenko on board the ZKD) combat service. During the performance of BS tasks, 12 detections of foreign submarines were made, with continuous tracking of 380 hours. This result has so far remained a record among the anti-submarine forces of the Navy. At the end of this BS, 36 officers and midshipmen of the crew were awarded government awards [1] .
April 28, 1992 reclassified to atomic cruising submarine. During 1992, torpedoes were fired with homing equipment, which was adopted by the Russian Navy based on the results of these tests [1] .
April 13, 1993 received the name "Whale". From September 30 to December 31, the performance of combat duty tasks under the command of the captain of the 2nd rank S. M. Igishev (senior aboard Rear Admiral Yu. V. Kirillov). On December 2, for the first time in the history of the Navy, successful firing of two cruise missiles of the C-10 Granat complex with different flight missions from the same combat area was carried out, which was highly appreciated by the fleet command [1] .
April 1, 1994 K-391 "Kit" was withdrawn from the forces of constant readiness.
In February 1996, the submarine was received by the crew of the K-152 Nerpa , commander of the 2nd rank captain S. S. Demin. While practicing combat training tasks, a US Navy-type Los-Angeles submarine was discovered, which was tracked for four hours. During the tracking, the tactics of its actions were studied and the method of anti-submarine warfare was developed. After passing the course training tasks, the crew entered the 1st line. February 25, 1997 the submarine was included in the composition of the GHG forces [1] .
On September 10, 1997, by the order of the Civil Code of the Russian Navy, after establishing patronage ties with the administration of the city of Bratsk , the submarine received the name "Bratsk".
On May 1, 1998, the submarine was transferred to the 10th DIPL of the 2nd FlPL. On September 1, 1998, the 10th DiPL was reorganized into the 16th OpEskPL.
In October 2003, the submarine was delivered to the Northeast Repair Center (NRC) to undergo repairs and modernization, and the crew was reassigned to the 201st DNRPL Pacific Fleet. Only in 2008, the submarine was introduced in the PD-71 for repairs [1] . In the summer of 2013, due to the inability of the ICRC to carry out repairs and modernization, it was decided to repair Bratsk at another plant [2] . In the summer of 2014, Severodvinsk Zvyozdochka Plant was chosen for the upcoming work [3] . September 26, 2014 K-391 "Bratsk" and K-295 "Samara" were delivered by the Dutch ship-dock " Transshelf " along the Northern Sea Route from Kamchatka to Severodvinsk [4] . Repair is planned to be completed in 2019 .
