Worth reading although depressing.

If you’re the Russians you don’t. You just let them sink at dockside due to neglect.

placed in spent nuclear fuel casks and put on secure trains for disposal at a long-term waste storage and reprocessing plant. Secure trains, yeah right!

The fate of my old boat: "In 1982, the Patrick Henry was one of a number of submarines to have their ballistic missile tubes disabled a concession made in talks with the Soviet Union in order to lessen the threat of nuclear war. She was reclassified as an attack submarine (SSN-599), and in her new role, she mainly conducted training exercises. The Patrick Henry was decommissioned in May 1984, and dismantled and disposed of at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as part of the Ship-Submarine Recycling Program. Recycling was completed August 21, 1997."

Good read. I remembered a story of the soviet era K19 on FR. I didn’t realize there are so many subs to decommission.

Ironic that the environmentalist whackos have their panties in a twist over molecular level increases in benign CO2 while in Russia highly radioactive material is just being piled up.

After defueling, US Navy Submarine reactor compartments, including the reactor vessel and all components in the reactor compartment of the submarine, is cut out of the hull in one piece, welded shut, and sent here for permanent disposal in a lined pit in Washington:
The rest of the boat is then mercilessly butchered down to the last shred of steel and recycled.

When people ask me whatever happened to my old boat I tell them they probably shaved with it this morning.
