Yuri Dolgorikiy and Alexandr Nevskiy submarines arrive in Gadzhievo

Two Project 955 submarines - Yuri Dolgorikiy and Alexandr Nevskiy - reportedly arrived in Gadzhievo today.

This is a return home for Yuri Dolgorikiy - it first arrived to its base at the Northern Fleet in September 2013, but then went back to Severodvinsk for repairs in early December. It was expected that the repair would take "several months", so it is possible that the submarine will be back to Sevmash again soon.

For Alexandr Nevskiy Gadzhievo is likely to be a temporary base - the submarine was officially assigned to the Pacific Fleet at the acceptance ceremony just a week ago. However, it will have to wait for Bulava missiles and at this point it is not clear how long the wait will be.

Two things:
1./
so at the end of 2013 we have:
5 active Delta IV (K-84 is under repair)
1 Borey assigned to the north fleet but without missiles
and
2 Delta III (K-433 & K-233)at Rybachi (K-44 is under repair)
and 1 Borey assigned to the Pacific Fleet but still at Gadzhievo and without missiles.
Is that correct?
2./
Have all of the Delta IV got Liner missiles with the capacity of 10 warheads each?
Thanks

Yes, looks reasonable. I'm not sure Liner missiles carry 10 warheads, though.
