Raising the Kursk
A Dutch team, racing against the weather, engineered the salvage operation that let the Russians take home their dead.
By Peggy Chalmers On Oct. 7, 2001, the 10,000-metric-ton Russian nuclear submarine Kursk, with two nuclear reactors and 20 missiles aboard, began a slow ascent from its watery tomb 108 meters, or 350 feet, below the Barents Sea. Retrieving the Kursk was an emotional, as well as political, event for Russia; 118 crew members had died in the sunken submarine, some immediately, some after waiting more than 24 hours for a rescue that never came.
The Kursk had gone down in August 2000 following a pair of explosions approximately two minutes apart. Theories include a collision with another submarine or a defective torpedo exploding and detonating other munitions that destroyed the bow and sank the vessel. The real cause may never be known.
