New diesel-electric project 636.3 Krasnodar submarine will be put into service of the Russian Navy on November 5, 2015, says press center of RF Defence Ministry. Flag raising ceremony will be held in Saint Petersburg. Krasnodar submarine is the fourth in the 6-submarine batch.
Some people are holding out hope that it will be worked on in the new far east Zvezda shipyard expansion, but it seems exceedingly unrealistic to me.
Peter the Great will follow Nakhimov @ Sevmash.
Yep, I highly doubt she will be recommissioned. Maybe 4 years ago I too thought that maybe Russia will place her at the new far east shipyard when the yard is ready but now I don’t think that is going to happen. Especially since it looks like the recommissioning of Nakhimov keeps getting moved further and further in the future.
Today, a detachment of ships of the Pacific Fleet as part of the Guards missile cruiser “Varyag”, the destroyer “Quick” big sea tanker “Boris Butoma” and rescue ship “Alatau” was released into the sea and began to move to the port of Vishakhapatnam (India) to participate in the Russian-Indian naval maneuvers “INDRA-2015 Navy.”
So, Bystryy has left to India. That is Interesting news. 1155s does a lot of long deployments every year but Sovs not so much.
Video about recent missile launches.
Any idea of the displacement?
13 000 tons. Or that is what I remember seeing.
