New Russian Boomer made from Akula Hulk?

Quote:
When the construction of “Yuri Dolgoruky” started at the Sevmash yard in Severodvinsk back in November 1996, the shipyard simply took the unfinished hull of an unfinished Akula-class attach submarine and started the welding to enlarge it.
Really? Anyone confirm that? The beam of the hulls are the same, so I guess it could be true but it seems like it would be overly complex to do.

Not really. I saw the Dolphin cut in two in Vallejo while they were adding 100 feet to her. Shouldn't be too tough to add a missile compartment.

How the added weight and length would effect her handling, well, that's for the engineers to figger...

An attach submarine? Must be highly magnetic or something.
