KAZAN, May 10. /TASS/. The Amur Shipyard in Russia’s Far East and the Admiralty Wharves Shipyard in St. Petersburg in northwest Russia may accomplish an order for six Project 636.3 diesel-electric submarines, Head of the Navy’s Ship-Building Department Captain 1st Rank Vladimir Tryapichnikov said on Tuesday.

The submarines are designed for Russia’s Pacific Fleet, he added.

"Two shipyards are ready to build submarines of this type. The final decision has not been made yet. Probably, the order will be divided into several parts and the shipyards will accomplish each of the parts," Tryapichnikov said.

According to the official, this issue is currently under consideration.
