The strategic submarine will officially enter service with the Russian Navy in late 2022, according to a decision by President Vladimir Putin. The submarine will join and strengthen the nuclear strategic submarine force of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and will be transferred to the Rybachiy submarine base on the Kamchatka Peninsula next summer.

The Generalissimo Suvorov is the sixth of Russia's fourth-generation ballistic missile submarines and the second serially produced vessel in the upgraded Borei-A class. Submarines of this class can carry up to 16 nuclear-capable Bulava missiles.
