Knyaz Vladimir Project 955A submarine to join Northern Fleet

The fourth submarine of the Project 955A, Knyaz Vladimir, is expected to join the navy by the end of 2019. It will remain with the Northern Fleet, joining the first Project 955 submarine, Yuri Dolgorukiy.

Construction of Knyaz Vladimir began in 2012, it was floated out of the dry dock in November 2017.

The fifth Project 955/955A submarine, Knyaz Oleg, still appears to be in the dry dock at Sevmash, although it was expected to begin service in 2020. It will join the Pacific Fleet.

The BBC continures to report this submarine, the Knyaz Vladimir, carries 20 missile tubes. I know we have discussed this to ad nauseam, however; has there been any change in the shared opinion that this boat only has 16 missile tubes?

I think it's still 16 - there were photos somewhere.
