The submarines, named HQ-182 Hanoi and HQ-183 Ho Chi Minh City, have been delivered to Vietnam pursuant to a 2009 contract signed during Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s visit to Moscow for the purchase of six diesel-powered 636 Varshavyanka (kilo)-class submarines.
St. Petersburg –based Admiralty Verfi shipyard said the submarines for Vietnam were built with state-of-the-art technologies and equipped with modern weaponry.
As scheduled, the third vessel coded HQ 184 Haiphong will be delivered to Vietnam in 2014, and the last of its kind will be handed over by 2016.
