I thought there were two Mikes? One caught fire off South America and the other sank under mysterious circumstances (possible collision)?

Nope, just one. It caught fire and sank in the Barents Sea in 1989.

Correct...they had started a 2nd but stopped construction.
Komsomolets K278, (project 685) is the one that sank off Norway after an electrical fire
