At shipbuilding plant "Zvezdochka" repair work on the Carp B-239 submarine stopped. Perhaps, because of financing reduction.
As told to the correspondent of FlotProm two sources at the enterprise and a source in the company contractor, all repair work on the head submarine of the Barracuda project 945 is curtailed now.
According to one of sources, the termination of financing of repair of the submarine can be a probable cause of a stop of works.
