[Regnum] The last surviving submarine of Project 633RV (Romeo) was towed to the underground museum complex in Balaklava.

The submarine S-49 was sent to the underground museum after repair and restoration work, the hull of the boat was updated and painted. As a permanent exhibit, the submarine will be placed in the dry dock of the museum complex. The dry dock is a reinforced concrete pool 100 meters long and over 8 thousand cubic meters in volume.

The S-49 submarine was laid down at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) on March 29, 1952 and launched in July 1961. At the end of the 60s, the S-49 was reequipped for testing the anti-submarine systems "Waterfall" and "Wind" and until 1985 was involved in testing all missile-torpedoes in service with the Navy. In 2019, the submarine was withdrawn from the Black Sea Fleet.
