Refitting and arrangement of the submarine close to the battleship with an adequate internal fittings and attraction were the Customer’s requirements for DS in question. DS-museum should strike by fully equipped compartments, complicated design, machinery, control units and at the same time the Customer seeks to obtain the exhibit that would excel the existing ones around the world:

- in providing for DS visiting by all citizens and tourists, independently of their age, state of health, including invalids, children of all ages and women without uniform;

-in providing reliability and safety during all operational period of DS-museum.

For DS transportation technical and production decisions on organization and realization of simple and effective delivery of all submarines by seas, channels, sluices, under bridges and by inland water-ways with the help of the welded to DS arrangement of pontoon foundation, were found.

Displacement (approximately) – 2000ts

Dimension:

-Length – 90.2m;

-Width – 8.6m;

-Width on pontoons – 12.8m;

-Draught - 2-2.5m;

-Height from base plane up to superstructure deck – 8.2m.

Mentioned arrangement allows to reduce costs for DS refurbishment at the shipyards, transportation, also for building of shore area and waterside structures of foundation for DS anchorage at the rigid base, because it functions at the same time as a pontoon and as a base foundation, ensuring DS anchorage without additional service up to 80 years.

The waterway of DS delivery at the pontoon-foundation from Severodvinsk to Moscow was the following:

Severodvinsk – Belomorsk – Belomorsko-Baltijski canal – Lake Onezhskoe – Volgo-Baltijski canal – Volga – Moscow canal – Moscow city.
