Russia began designing new demagnetization vessels for the Russian Navy
According to one of the sources of the publication, the need to upgrade demagnetization vessels in the Navy has long been ripe. The last ships of this type arrived at the fleet in Soviet times at the end of the 80's.
According to the publication, work on a new demagnetization vessel began this year. Currently, the design bureaus do not yet have the technical specifications for the new SR, since it is still being prepared by the Ministry of Defense, but the designers have technical requirements for such a vessel, so preliminary work is already underway. The number or code of the project in public sources has not yet appeared. According to available information, during the creation of a new demagnetization vessel, several ROCs are planned.
In parallel with the beginning of work on the SR, work is underway to create new domestic demagnetization equipment for such ships. Work in this direction is carried out by the Central Research Institute of Marine Electrical Engineering and Technology of the Krylov State Scientific Center, as well as other scientific organizations.
Currently, the Russian Navy has remained demagnetizing vessels of the 1799 Globus project and its modifications, as well as slightly more 10 demagnetizing vessels of the 130 project. All ships built in the late 80's and early 90's. One demagnetization vessel CP-72 ("Academician Vladimir Kotelnikov") was commissioned in the 2007 year, although it was laid in the 1991. The ship became part of the division of supply vessels of the White Sea naval base of the Northern Fleet.
Demagnetization vessels are designed for non-winding demagnetization of ships with a displacement of up to 7 thousand tons or winding demagnetization of ships with a displacement of up to 15 thousand tons.
