	Russian submarine Kursk explosion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kursk was eventually recovered from her grave by a Dutch team and 115 of the 118 dead were recovered and laid to rest in Russia.
		A Russian Oscar class submarine has twice the submerged displacement (physical mass) of a Los Angeles-class submarine; it is therefore not credible from a fundamental physics perspective that the Kursk would have sustained the far worse damage in such a hypothetical collision.
		Most of the hull of the submarine, except the bow, was raised from the ocean floor by the Dutch salvage companies Smit International and Mammoet in the fall of 2001 and towed back to the Russian Navy's Roslyakovo Shipyard.
