Creation of a universal amphibious assault ship (LHD) started at the Italian shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia

Press office of the Italian shipyard Fincantieri on the eve came out with the material about the start of work on the creation of a universal landing ship dock in Castellammare di Stabia. The shipyard is located in the province of Naples (Campania region). The ship will be commissioned in the 2022 year. Construction for the Italian Navy began on the basis of a policy document, which was signed by government representatives back in May 2015.

At its core, the universal landing ship is also a helicopter carrier.

The main mission of the landing ship under construction is to transport personnel, cargo, both military and dual-purpose - with disembarkation and unloading both in port conditions and in conditions of an unequipped coast. On its board, the universal landing ship carries several landing craft that can be launched into the water through special compartments filled with water (“pools”).
The ship will be equipped with a special system of freight elevators, with the help of which military equipment, cargo containers, and various equipment can be lowered into the internal compartments.

This kind of ships (LHD - Landing Helicopter Dock) are designed to conduct operations using the amphibious assault, to support ground military units. A universal landing ship on board can carry a fully equipped battalion of marines (airborne troops).

The ship will be equipped with the Leonardo Kronos Dual Band electronic system with a radar station with X-band AFAR and Leonardo Kronos Power Shield radar with L-band AFAR. In addition, flight control radars aviation Leonardo SPN-720 allows you to control the actions of the helicopter wing.

Well, in the previous article, only the Italians spoke about aircraft technology, and now the ships arrived in time .. Even some envy takes .. Where are our opponents of the landing dock ships? What, does Italians have a colonial doctrine?

[MPK105]

It’s just that EVERYTHING works for them — aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, and automotive engineering ... It’s just that hands grow from where you need to, and your head gives beautiful sketches to hands ... And envy ... Yes, envy takes me personally
that is, that is, I will not hide ............

[210ox]

Hands and we grow from there and from the Italians ... They just built and destroyed it (not the fault of ordinary Russian citizens), they invested, they plundered from us ..

There are such. And closer than you think.

... What, the Italians colonial doctrine works ..?

It is she, darling. Or do you think that they will export goods to Switzerland?
Control over North Africa, illegal emigration, participation in NATO interventions.
Resources go beyond the control of the West, but the Soviet Union does not. The era of new colonial wars is coming.
This ship, for sure, was built "according to the order" of Brussels, as an element of the general naval forces. This is a "police operations" ship. Like an aircraft carrier.
When confronted with an equal or even remotely commensurate opponent, both of them show their complete futility.
DPRK example taught you nothing?
What to envy others, write why we need it.

[stoker]

Quote from rudolf

We need it exactly then, why do we now need the BDK and the Marines in general ...

Strange "logic." Like, if you need vests and binoculars, then you need helicopter carriers.
Well, if this is so obvious to you, tell me where and in what situation? Come up with at least something.

... What should the DPRK example be taught and what is this example?

Yes, the fact that in a particular situation 2-3 AUGs are nothing more than garden scarecrows, which can be impressed except for a raven (and even then not all), and "adult uncles" and even "children" pass by without turning around.
The decisive factor was the possibility (only OPPORTUNITY) of retaliating a nuclear strike on American bases in Korea and Japan. Well, how can aircraft carriers help here?
The Americans shed something so that they would not inadvertently provoke Kim to a preemptive strike. And what will change in a year or two? It’s just that his missiles will fly further and more accurately, and there will be more charges.
As for Hussein, he did not have a nuclear club, plus national and confessional heterogeneity, which caused massive betrayal. And what does the presence or absence of helicopter carriers have to do with it.
Let's refrain from evaluating the "mind".
What did Italy do during the Libyan war of 2011? Overthrew Gaddafi for oil and his money ...

Something after the “Mistral” trend went helicopter landing troops to build. I would like to know the opinion of naval experts on this issue.

[Bourbon]

Quote: Svarog51

After the Mistrals, the trend went to build helicopter carriers

they were built long before the story of the Mistrals - I'm talking about the trend with the UDC!

[Svarog51]

they were built long before the story of the Mistrals

Well this is understandable, I mean, now everyone needs them. Egypt bought and equips Mistral, in England they put Elizabeth into operation, and now the Italians are concerned. They all gathered to carry out landing operations?

[Bourbon]

Quote: Svarog51

I mean, now everyone needs them.

they were always welcomed in all the fleets of Europe in Asia and America, and heaps of countries ordered them with pleasure, it was strange for us to hear that we did not need them — these were either fools or paid trolls!

[Svarog51]

it was strange from ours to hear that we do not need them - these are either fools - or paid trolls!

Dmitry, here I completely agree with you.

[demo]

If not themselves, then someone will stand up to whom it is necessary to carry out.
Or they may not carry out their operations, but within the framework of NATO’s peace-loving policy, it is necessary to carry out a transfer of forces to collectively maintain world peace.
It is necessary to consider events such as the construction of a ship within the framework of the country's participation in military or political associations.
Italians themselves do not need such troughs.

So I completely do not understand the use of "Mistral" in our reality.
Even taking into account the fact that we are fighting in Syria.
Well, where should we transport it?
Where and how much is Russia's interest in the world?

From my point of view, we need to improve the transfer of personnel and military equipment in our country.
Bring to automatism.
Then this is the key to the calm existence of the country.

[donavi49]

Mistral in Syria. Yes Easy. Example:
- transportation of l / s with conveniences. This is especially true for all artillerymen, motorized rifles, and airborne forces that are not familiar with the Marine conditions.
- transportation of equipment in large volumes and its descent without loading the crane infrastructure (as for example with purchased auxiliary equipment - they are unloaded by cranes). One Mistral will take away trucks and all sorts of complexes like the 2-3 BDK,
- transportation of helicopters of any type (including Mi-26 - Osprey flew from it if that is why Mi-26 will fit into the stern and stern, that is, two) in high readiness. How are they being transported now? Dismantled - loaded into Ruslan. They bring it. Gather. One Mistral, even on land, will replace Ruslan’s 5-7 flights. The only thing is that you need to look at the weather or just form a special group of pilots who would be engaged in driving the ship and from ship to base (just to exclude an emergency).
- transportation of goods and containers in large volumes.

But you make one mistake here. Attaching to Syria. OK. Let's take Syria (but in general we mean some thread to another country, even Algeria for example). Dear partners close the corridors. This is international law. If we say Trump will succeed in putting pressure on Iraq, then Iraq may refuse to fly over its territory. And since Iraq has no control methods, it can ask the world community to ensure the inviolability of the country's air borders. This is all in international law. Moreover, it is actively used, for example, in the Baltic.

In such conditions - fleet only can solve problems. Blocking it under international law will not work. For there is freedom of navigation. There are standards for passing straits. Followings in neutral waters.

What am I doing? It may happen that you have to react even in the Syrian format where Ruslan does not reach. Or fly to the limit and such flights will be very limited. Only the fleet can complete the task there.

[Großer feldherr]

Such "universal landing helicopter-pilots" are good for landing (imagination immediately depicts the Kuril landing operation or the landing of allies in Normandy .... but we all understand that this will never happen again), in Syria there would be exactly the same sense in them how much and from the BDK.
The Navy really needs semi-civilian skaters who run in the seas and oceans in peacetime and earn money, but if Mother Mother calls, they can help with the transfer, which is hard to overestimate.
And what is this helicopter misunderstanding capable of ?! It seems to be universal, but in fact it is highly specialized as a scalpel, and not with the most relevant application for Russia, because we have something that no one else has on such a scale - the Airborne Forces that perform the landing function a priori faster is better.

[donavi49]

Not. Lisa is superfluous here. This Lisa is like Cavour who is already more than 10 years in the Italian Navy. Aircraft carrier with the ability to transport marines with equipment. But Lisa and Cavour have no means of delivery - except for light boats and helicopters.

DKVD / UDC - began to mass build in 00's. Now everyone is already buying them - for this is not only a trend, but also a real benefit. The ship is really universal, which in peacetime works effectively.

Another thing is large ships with a separate hangar and 5-7 platforms for helicopters on the 20k +, those can only be afford for the richest or most ambitious (Turkey for example).

Just DKVD have such countries as:
England
India
Singapore (how many Singapore there are, but 4 have small ships)
Tai (he not only has a dwarf aircraft carrier, but also his paratrooper 2012 of the year).
Chile
Brazil
Philippines
Indonesia (they build one of the most successful classes on the market - Makassar, only 50 million dollars for full stuffing).
Netherlands
Italy
Algeria
Egypt
Spain
France
China
USA
Peru is building
Turkey is building

[Svarog51]

Thanks for the detailed answer. Now it’s clear how the ships differ.

[san4es]

[quote = Svarog51] Now ships are different. [/ quote
Healthy Seryoga! .. So we met ... Vidos did not find ... Catch a picture

[Svarog51]

And you, Sanya, health and good luck. I am very far from the Fleet, and I am interested in everything. They have already explained to me how ships differ. My opinion has only strengthened. The fleet needs ships and coastal infrastructure. Let them say anything, but I will not change my opinion.

[san4es]

...So Yes...
But I think that ships are NECESSARY when they are REQUIRED .. so that they don’t stay at the berths (do not consume motor / energy resources at a loss) ...

[Svarog51]

Well, here I mind you. When a ship is needed, but not, what should I do? At moorings or in the ocean - but they should be. We are not alone in this world and everything is not going smoothly with our partners. I am very far from the fleet, but if the Lyra were in service, I would feel calmer. The list of what the fleet needs I can continue, but I won’t. Sanya, you know this better than me.

[san4es]

... If they are invisible, this does not mean
u that they are not. Feel calm Seryoga ... "Sasha Nevsky will protect you

[Svarog51]

Sanya, the submarine fleet will not solve all the problems, and you know this much better than me. Security, protection, flag display ... You will definitely find what to add. Aviation, air defense, ground forces raised. How long will the fleet be a stepson? Sorry for the harshness. But Russia's only allies are its Army and Navy. It's time to raise the fleet to the right level.

[Banishing liberoids]

It’s enviable for good, because the Italians will build, and we have nothing concrete beyond the promises for the whole year. In my opinion, our promises (more precisely, the promises of those who lie to the people) are such a veiled form of recognition of our own worthlessness and incompetence.

[bratchanin3]

Naturally, Russia needs landing helicopter carriers, especially in the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic. The Marine Battalion, and even with air support, is cool.

[avt]

Quote: bratchanin3

The Baltic.

To drown quickly in the Marquise puddle? UDCs are needed where the coastline infrastructure is not developed, and so Pacific and Arctic, and also everywhere on the continents where the presence of Russia needs to be indicated. If there are political ambitions and the ocean fleet, UDCs are needed, but without them the ocean fleet is inferior, as well as without aircraft carriers. This is when they invent teleportation, then they will not be needed. And there would be transports of the type of lighter carriers Kosygin and Sevmorput.

[g1v2]

Well, the Baltics, in my opinion, are a bit small for fishing, and it shoots from end to end. For some local conflict of goals, too little. In the North Atlantic, such a ship has no problems in principle either. Yes, and if they appear, it is much more logical to keep him on the Federation Council, which is much freer in his actions. But in the Black Sea Fleet and Pacific Fleet in my opinion they are needed. Firstly, to transport troops and equipment. For example, in Syria or the Kuril Islands, if that. We still have to build a base on Matua. it would be convenient to transfer drugs and equipment to the islands. Yes, and control them. Secondly, as a mobile base for foreign operations and providing support to them. Not just for marines. Thirdly, for various humanitarian and other operations.

[g1v2]

In my opinion, in the Baltic Sea with its fjords and depths it is much more reasonable to keep small landing ships and landing boats, but a lot. Plus a few BDK. There are no local opponents there, and in the case of a global “p” day, they still won’t let us out for the Danish straits, because a large autonomy is not really needed.

[bratchanin3]

The Mediterranean Sea was 2000 years ago the center of the struggle of different peoples, and another 2000 years will not end conflicts requiring the prompt transport of military assets and solving military problems.

[A1845]

A universal landing ship carries several landing boats on its board, which can be launched into water through special compartments filled with water (“pools”).

is it in the picture they are painted on the side? completely unlike pools

[donavi49]

No - there is a dock camera.

On the side are light boats - everyone has them. For example, the Ocean.

[magadan72]

The original ship! And it’s necessary for projection of strength. It’s necessary to drive the Papuans around northern Africa. Only a strange or original way of launching landing boats is into the water, judging by the picture in the side corridors. In principle, spaced bulkheads will improve unsinkability!? WE ALSO NEED SUCH UNIVERSALS !!!

[donavi49]

These are just boats - for special forces / search / delivery of infantry.

Inside there is a docking chamber on the 4 TDK.

[Xroft]

Yes, you can’t prove to them, in fact, this is an axiom of the modern fleet, the presence of universal ships. Better than second-hand Turkish tankers who bought in a hurry. We just do not have such shipyards that at least for 5 years passed UDC of such proportions.

[A1845]

Inside there is a docking chamber for 4 TDK

that’s what they would have written, otherwise “pools”
when will they learn how to edit the news ...
