Russia's navy has lost its most powerful subs and the whole fleet may disappear by 2008, a disgraced admiral said according to MosNews.com Tuesday. All of Russia's long-feared Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines have been deactivated because there are no longer any reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles for them to carry and launch, Fleet Admiral Gennady Suchkov told Interfax news agency in an interview carried on the MosNews.com website. Suchkov was disgraced and given a suspended sentence following the loss of the nuclear submarine K-159 in August 2003 near Murmansk in the Arctic Ocean, MosNews.com said. Suchkov said the Russian Navy is trying to develop a new nuclear missile, the Bulava, to rearm the Typhoons but it does not even have a prototype ready yet. All rights reserved.
