Russian Naval Construction Plans and Statistics Update

MOSCOW, March 23 - RIA Novosti.

The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) will hand over three newest submarines to the Russian Navy this year, including the nuclear-powered Generalissimo Suvorov (Borey-A project) and Krasnoyarsk (Yasen-M), the director general told RIA Novosti USC Alexey Rakhmanov.
In total, USC will hand over 24 ships and warships this year.
“By the end of the year, we will hand over to the fleet two nuclear-powered submarines, the Generalissimo Suvorov and Krasnoyarsk nuclear submarines, and one Admiralty boat, the Ufa non-nuclear submarine,” Rakhmanov said.
Submarine "Ufa" (project 636.3) is being built at the "Admiralty Shipyards" in St. Petersburg.
He stressed that most of the ships and vessels belong to civil shipbuilding, and 10 units - under the state defense order, "some of which are out of repair, some are new construction."

Evmenov said that the Russian Navy will receive 46 ships this year

The Russian Navy in 2022 will receive 46 warships and support vessels. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, during the ceremonial laying of warships at shipbuilding enterprises in St. Petersburg, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Zelenodolsk.

“In 2022, 46 warships and support vessels will be transferred to the Navy. 50 ships are on stocks in varying degrees of readiness... The laying is another step towards achieving the task set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to maintain the share of modern ships at a level of at least 70%,” Evmenov said.

Evmenov takes part in the laying of ships via videoconferencing while at the Admiralty Shipyards. The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy gave the command to start work on the construction of ships.

Surface warships and submarines under construction on September 1, 2022.
The list mentions the possibility of contracting two more Project 885M submarines during 2022/23, as well as two more Project 955A submarines in the same period. The list also mentions the possibility of laying the keels for two more project 22350 frigates at the "Severnaya Werf" (I am extremely skeptical about this), as well as the conclusion of a contract for two more such frigates at the "Amur Shipyard". .....
The Ulyanovsk submarine is still listed as project 09853, not 885M.

Diesel-electric submarine "Ufa" will be handed over to the customer in November

Diesel-electric submarine "Ufa" project 636 will enter the Navy in November this year. This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, following the results of a scheduled workshop, which discussed issues of non-nuclear submarine shipbuilding.
At present, the Admiralty Shipyards enterprise has completed the offshore part of the state tests of the Ufa diesel-electric submarine in the Baltic Sea test sites. During the tests, the functioning of a number of ship devices, mechanisms and equipment, as well as hydroacoustic and navigation systems was tested. The submarine successfully completed dives to various depths, the crew and employees of the Admiralty Shipyards checked and assessed the maneuverability and controllability of the submarine at different navigation depths.

As it was reported to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy at a meeting with the heads of the relevant governing bodies of the High Command of the Navy, at present, after completing the marine part of the state tests, the Ufa diesel-electric submarine has arrived at the Admiralty Shipyards, where it is undergoing revision and finishing in preparation for signing the acceptance certificate. Issues of servicing diesel-electric submarines "Ufa" were worked out in the future. Repair and technical documentation for Project 636 submarines was developed by the 51st Central Design and Technological Institute of Ship Repair, which has rich experience in this area.[/size]

So this year we can very likely expect 5 new submarines;
1. Special purpose nuclear submarine of the project 09852 K-329 "Belgorod" - active,
2. Project 955A SSBN submarine "Generalissimo Suvorov"
3. Project 885M SSN/SSGN submarine K-571 "Krasnoyarsk"
4. Project 636.3 diesel-electrci submarine B-588 "Ufa",
5. Project 677 diesel-electric submarine B-586 "Kronshtadt".

What I expect in the near future, that is, in the next few months, is the following
6. launching of SSBN of the project 955A, submarine "Imperator Alexander III",
7. launching of a SSN/SSGN of the project 885M; "K-564 "Arkhangelsk",
8. launching of a "special purpose nuclear submarine" (SPNS) according to the Russian classification of the project 09851, submarine "Khabarovsk",
9. launching of a diesel-electric submarine of the project 677 B-587 "Velikiye Luki",
10. launching of a diesel-electric submarine of the project 636.3 "Mozhaysk".

And this runs on a budget on pair with UK and France.
And smaller than Saudi Arabia.

That's right, my friend, and all those 10 submarines will be operational for a maximum of two years (10 submarines in total for two to 3 years), bearing in mind that the inclusion of a nuclear reactor, sea trials and state trials take a year and a few months on nuclear submarines. The only thing that I think needs to be accelerated is the construction of submarines that will replace the projects 971 Schchuka-B (NATO; Akula) and 945A Kondor (NATO; Sierra-2).
Whether it will be additional 885M submarines or whether the construction of slightly smaller 545A will start in a few years remains to be seen.

And this runs on a budget on pair with UK and France.
And smaller than Saudi Arabia.

Being Mr Picky just for clarification what you actually meant was: And this runs on a budget on par with UK OR France.

It is astounding... it is like the saying the car is so old it relies on the rust for structural integrity and if you removed the rust you would have nothing left meaning the Rust is actually critical to it being a car... by inference the extreme corruption in Russia is the only thing that makes it so successful.

The alternative would be there is less corruption and corruption in the defence of the country is not tolerated they way the west encourages it in their MIC.

The west, with its massive superiority complex thinks it is OK to screw the government... we will win any war anyway... we don't fight wars we can't win...

No good news from Severnaya Werf..

Igor Orlov: boathouse "Severnaya Verf" will continue to build a new contractor

Director of Severnaya Verf Igor Orlov spoke in an exclusive interview with MASHNEWS about the progress of construction of a new slipway for large-capacity ships and vessels.
“We are finishing the competitive procedures for selecting a new contractor,” said Igor Orlov, adding that the previous contractor did not complete the required amount of work, going bankrupt.

"This year we will continue to build," summed up the director of Severnaya Verf.

Earlier it was reported that USC plans to complete the construction of a new slipway at Severnaya Verf in 2023.
The construction of a boathouse at the shipyard is the first stage in the modernization of the plant's production. In 2017, Metrostroy received a contract to perform these works. It was assumed that the work would be completed in the first quarter of 2019, but the contractor failed to cope with the task, the contract was terminated.

In 2020, USC CEO Alexei Rakhmanov said that they plan to complete the construction of the boathouse before the end of the year. In September 2020, Severnaya Verf signed a contract with a new contractor, Domestic Systems and Technologies LLC. After that, the object was planned to be commissioned in 2022. The cost of the contract was estimated at 7.8 billion rubles.

The first stage of production modernization included the construction of two horizontal slipway slabs 250x100 m, covered by a boathouse 73.5 m high, with overhead cranes with a lifting capacity of 350 tons.

My addition; With the exception of Sevmash, which is overloaded (it turned out to be a big mistake that only this shipyard builds nuclear submarines) with the construction of 3 nuclear submarine projects (885M, 955A, 09851 Khabarovsk), as well as the modernization of the "Nakhimov" cruiser, all other Russian shipyards are ineffective that that's already a big shame. "Baltic Shipyard" is an exception, but only nuclear icebreakers are built there - there is no production for military needs. The problem is not only shipyards, but also subcontractors who do not deliver engines and other equipment installed on ships on time. There is no order and there is no efficiency and that is why everything is delayed by a year or two or much more when it comes to frigates 22350..
The Russians still talk a lot about the navy, but the results are not at all impressive. Although I believe that Sevmash will start the accelerated construction of the successor to the project 971 submarines when the 955A strategic submarines are completed - nothing else makes me happy. There is hope for submarines, but not much for surface warships at the moment.

With the current split with the west Russia is going to have to shift focus to the rest of the world which means a shift in focus in their military spending as well.

The Navy was not a real focus in the past though they are making corvettes that make western destroyers look underarmed and equipped, so the direction is good... they just need more funding and attention.

Saying one shipyard is overloaded is BS because the corvettes and frigates and minesweepers and helicopter landing ships and other vessels being made for the Russian Navy are not nuclear powered so other shipyards can make them.

If they do follow through on plans for destroyers and cruisers and their new fixed wing carriers to be nuclear powered then other shipyards are going to have to deal with nuclear propulsion technology too, and most shipyards are going to have to be able to handle bigger ships whether it is just to upgrade them or to build them... because bigger ships are coming... civilian and military.

Sevmash is currently building 10 nuclear submarines; 4 strategic 955A, 5 multipurpose 885M, and "special purpose" submarine of project 09851 Khabarovsk. Two more submarines are being tested by Sevmash and are about to be put into service, i.e. Suvorov (955A) and Krasnoyarsk (885M). That's 12 submarines plus the modernization of the Nakhimov cruiser. Sevmash is working at full steam and is the only relatively efficient shipbuilder - that's the bottom line. Of course, we should expect the start of construction of additional submarines in the near future.

Well, not all of them are overloaded and I think that Yantar could get a contract for two more landing ships of project 11711, while it remains to be seen whether the Amur Shipyard will start building frigates as it is hinted at. The question is whether Zvezda and Baltic shipyards will sign contracts for the construction of military ships in the future. Many problems need to be solved such as engine problems because even the small rocket ships of project 22800 are delayed because of it. Project 22350 frigates remain a huge problem and apologies for Ukr. Zorya Mashproekt are out of place because the Russians have no one to blame for not starting development of their own turbines earlier and before 2014. That was a large mistake.

They no longer have space for new projects, booked for the next decade.
The new floating nuclear power plant hulls will be built by the Chinese due to that.
The Turks are building ferries for the same reason.

Kherson shipyard will soon be employed after the war then!

I still hope also for Nikolaev... It is true that the 3 large shipyards there are in a dilapidated state, but probably the same could be said for Kerch in 2014. And they are anyway in a perfect location for shipbuilding (a very important consideration when planning to build a shipyard). So investing there (after Nikolaev is Russian and there is no nearby front of the conflict) will be much better than giving money to foreign shipyards.

By the way, can the shipyard in Mariupol be used for shipbuilding or is it only for ship repairs?
