It would be great to know the final bill for the removal.

That's a big chainsaw.

Very cool.
I saw that ship last October before they had any sort of recovery operation underway.
From the cross section it looks like there might even be some recoverable vehicles in there. I wonder if they would even be allowed to do so, or if trashing the vehicles is part of the contract.

They cut the bow off the Kursk with a similar method to avoid disturbing any remaining warheads in the forward section before raising her.

It looks like they are using standard anchor chain for the purpose.

Can you imagine how God-awful loud that has to be?

Wonder why they don't use a diamond wire saw? It is a wire cable with diamond coated beads every few inches. Clog on the steel? Too expensive?

Anchor chain is likely cheaper and easy to patch when links break.
