Shipyard named after the Lenin Komsomol refers to the Soviet-era Komsomolsk-on-Amur shipyard later documented in open sources as Amur Shipbuilding Plant. The yard was created as a Far Eastern naval-industrial site and became one of the Soviet Union's major submarine production centers, including nuclear-powered attack submarines built for Pacific and Northern Fleet requirements.
1 weaponsThe Komsomolsk-on-Amur yard began as a state shipbuilding project on the Amur River. Its official history traces the site to the first construction crews arriving near the village of Permskoye in May 1932, a government decision in November 1932, the first industrial shop foundation in June 1933, and the laying of early L-series submarines in May and June 1935 before the plant formally entered Soviet shipbuilding industry operation.
Later public descriptions of the same industrial site emphasize its submarine and naval-combatant output. Amur Shipbuilding Plant says more than 300 vessels of different purposes have been built there, including 57 nuclear submarines, 41 diesel-electric submarines, and 56 surface combatants. Defense references connect the Komsomolsk-on-Amur yard with Project 671RTM/RTMK Victor III nuclear attack submarines and Project 971 Akula nuclear attack submarines, placing the Lenin Komsomol name in the yard's late-Soviet submarine-production history rather than in a standalone modern corporate identity.
RussianShips lists Project 671RTM/RTMK boats completed at the Shipyard named after Leninskogo komsomola in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, matching the catalog's existing Victor III-class submarine record.

GlobalSecurity identifies the Komsomolsk-on-Amur / Amur shipbuilding site as a producer of Project 971 Akula nuclear attack submarines; the existing catalog record uses the later Amur Shipbuilding Plant manufacturer name.

The Lenin Komsomol wording is a Soviet-era English rendering associated with the Komsomolsk-on-Amur yard now publicly described as Amur or Amursky Shipbuilding Plant. Current legal, official, and sanctions sources usually use the Amur Shipbuilding Plant names.
