“Orel” (K-266) is an Oscar-II class nuclear-powered submarine sailing for the Northern Fleet. Normally, the submarine has a crew of about 110 sailors.
The civilian that had met with a man infected with the coronavirus was on board “Orel” in a “business matter”, Murmansk-based news-online B-port reports.
Also, the crew of a nearby submarine and the personnel on a floating workshop are placed in quarantine.
The submarine is based in Zapadnaya Litsa, the westernmost bases of the Northern Fleet on the Kola Peninsula.
No reports have been published about any coronavirus cases in Zaozersk, the navy town where the crew and their families live.
By March 28th, Russia’s official number of coronavirus infections raised to 1,264.
The “Murmansk group” on social media channel Vkontakte says there are 12 people who have given pre-positive tests of coronavirus in the Murmansk region.

Wonder which other militaries might be suffering?
I’m sure we are watching China very carefully right now. Taiwan needs to be on full alert.
Some of our top military supposedly went to a bunker. I suspect Russia did the same.
lousy port call Ivan.
Is Sean Connery the captain?
Yeah, I think I read we’ve got ops staff in Cheyenne Mountain and another undisclosed backup location, and it implied they were on lockdown. Which would suck, but seems smart right now.
Lock them in!
Don’t let them out until they figure out how to win in Afghanistan.
This is what happens when your warm water ports are ****holes like Sryia and Iran

How soon before the Russian sub catches fire, or nukes itself?
shoulda stayed on the qt Ivan
We lose an aircraft carrier to CV, Russia loses an Oscar, another sub and a floating dock to CV.
Current thinking is that about half of the infected are asymptomatic and many with minor symptoms; to what degree does this hamper operations?
Most of the severe cases are connected to other issues, unlikely for young sailors?
i wonder how often they feel it necessary to go to the bunker
Probably more often than we know
but certainly not just because of the flu season...lol
Russian crew will be replaced by a doomsday cult who is immune to the virus.

But you're correct, active duty sailors would seem to be unlikely candidates to be killed by CV, yet what makes Russia overreact this way?
Is it possible that there is more to this story than what our collective governments have told us?
Some of our top military supposedly went to a bunker. I suspect Russia did the same.Unless you have a credible link it's just more of your low-life lies and fake news.
You should be banned for posting your fake news tripe.
