In August of 2000 I was in Russia to meet my wife when the Kurst blew up. http://www.bellona.no/en/international/russia/navy/northern_fleet/incidents/28703.html

The damaged USS San Francisco looks quite a bit better than the Kurst did when it was finally raised.

Thanks for the link:

The Kursk was raised by the Dutch company "Mammoet" in autumn 2001 and transported to a military shipyard No 82 in Roslyakovo. Investigation teams worked on the submarine for almost half a year.
