On Saturday August 12, 2000, during Northern
Fleet training exercises in the Barents Sea, the Russian nuclear submarine(潜水艇) Kursk sank in about 100 meters
of water with some 118 sailors aboard. It's known later that several officers
were also aboard, observing the training exercises. The Kursk is lying on the
ocean floor in the Barents Sea. The Russian Navy said that it was listing 30
degrees to port. Other sources reported it was listing as much 60 as degrees.
According to a Russian newspaper, when the submarine Kursk failed to make
contact with the naval command at the right time later that day, Northern
Fleet Commander Admiral Vyachesav Popov ordered rescue ships into the area. It
took hours to find the submarine, as it didn't launch(发射) a marking buoy(浮) before sinking.
Russian Navy Chief insisted that the
submarine Kursk had been involved(卷入) in a major collision(碰撞), but a great deal of information shows that this is not true. Up
till now, it's believed that an explosion in the torpedo compartment(鱼雷舱) in the nose of the Kursk was
the likely cause. Now Russian government officially asked Norway for help in
recovering of sailors' bodies first of all, and Norway has agreed to offer all
help. But Russian insisted that only Russians work inside the submarine Kursk
and that the work last for about 10-18 working days. It is expected to recover only 25-35 bodies from the Kursk.
It was not until October 25, when a team of
Russian divers entered the submarine Kursk, some 350 feet below the surface,
that truth became clear. On November 7, in the morning, owing to(由于) the icy and the cold weather, a special
rescue meeting held on Murmansk decided to stop the whole bodies recovering
operation.
