The second Arctic patrol ship launched in Canada

In Canada, the second in a series patrol ship of the Arctic zone such as Harry DeWolf was launched. As the portal transmits navaltoday.com, the ceremony was held at the Irving Shipbuilding shipyard in Halifax.

The patrol ship launched is the first serial ship after the lead ship of the Arctic zone HMCS Harry DeWolf, launched last September. The ship was named HMCS Margaret Brooke, after its completion and passing the tests, it should become part of the Royal Navy of Canada in 2020 year. Two more ships of this project are at various stages of slipway construction.

The construction contract for the Canadian Navy of five (according to other sources - six) patrol ships was signed at the beginning of the 2015 year. Coastal ships AOPS (Arctic Offshore Patrol Ship) are designed to expand the capabilities of the Royal Navy to perform tasks in the Canadian Arctic archipelago. Their main tasks are monitoring and conducting intelligence, protecting the sovereignty of the country, as well as monitoring the situation in the exclusive economic zone of the state. According to the manufacturer, the ships are able to perform tasks in any arctic latitudes. They can be used in the Arctic as search and rescue ships.

Arctic zone patrol ships (AOPS) have a displacement of 6440 m, their length is 103 m, and their width is 19 m. Equipped with diesel-electric power plants. Speed ​​to 17 knots. Range at medium speed in 14 knots - 6800 nautical miles. A ship can cross ice one meter thick at a speed of three knots. The autonomy of an individual ship in Arctic waters is four months. Crew - 65 people.

The ship is armed with an automatic gun BAE MK38 caliber 25 mm and two machine guns M2 Browning. Space is provided for the placement of the CH-148 helicopter and two boats. According to the statement of the command of the Canadian Navy, these ships are not intended for military operations, their main task is to perform police and border functions.

A beautiful ship. Indeed, a beautiful ship. Creators - "plus".

Handsome, but our "Ivan Papanin" is better!

You look, still talking about careless "Canadians" stuck somewhere. And in hockey them at the North Pole it would be nice for our team to defeat them.

Actually, according to tradition, they play soccer on ice ..))

And he no longer has 1,7 m ice penetration and missiles ...

[Alexander Petrov1]

Our Papanin is a real military patrol icebreaker with missiles, and he is a pretty parody ...

[Escobar]

In a recent article about proPapanin, there was no talk of any rockets.

[Alexander Petrov1]

Yes, all the TV channels and the Internet are already talking about how he was let down, why don’t you read the sites at all and don’t watch the State Star and, most importantly, the minuses, what is the truth to me?

What an interesting term - "icebreaking" ...
Why are you comparing the Canadian running "icebreaking" with our shunting one?
And why the official 1,5m - in your words turned into 1.7m?

Did you know that our navigable ice penetration, like that of the Canadians, does not exceed 1m.
So no one wins anything in this respect - equal positions.

And tell me which missiles and where they will be based on the Papanin?
Or will you, like a parrot, repeat mantras about container Gauges?
Which doesn’t really exist?

But the fact that the Canadian has twice as much autonomy - 120 days against our 60 - this is not good ...

I also want us to build ships for 3 years at 10 thousand tons with a small egg (440 billion gold and foreign currency fund and 125 billion generation fund) in Russia, 665 billion and this does not depend on us, but on the government and if we allocated more money we would build It’s fast, like in China, and not 2 icebreaker patrols in 6 years, but more so that you don’t agree and I, until there are new elections, nothing changes ...

[Rzzz]

It should be emphasized that the speed is up to 18 knots. Precisely "before". Because he has enough foolishness to accelerate to such a speed, despite the extremely ineffective contours of the icebreaker hull. But if you press on the gas for a long time, then all the diesel fuel reserves will fly into the pipe in a few days, no two-month autonomy.

ADMIRALTEY YARDS JSC LAUNCHED THE WATER PATTERN OF THE ICE CLASS "IVAN PAPANIN" ON WATER
25.10.2019

The Admiralty Shipyards JSC held a solemn ceremony of launching the ice class patrol ship Ivan Papanin for the Russian Navy. The ceremony was attended by the Head of the Technical Department of the Russian Navy, Rear Admiral Igor Zvarich, Chairman of the Board of Directors of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation Georgy Poltavchenko and General Director of the company Alexander Buzakov.
The launching of the patrol icebreaker "Ivan Papanin" by the director general of the enterprise called a worthy gift for the 315th anniversary of the shipyards.
“This event marks for us a fundamentally new stage in the construction of ice-class vessels, since this ship has no analogues in the totality of its technical characteristics,” Alexander Buzakov emphasized. - It is symbolic that an ice-resistant self-propelled platform "North Pole" is being built nearby, on the same slipway - the namesake of the world's first Soviet polar research station, which drifted in the Arctic in 1937 under the leadership of Ivan Papanin. And there is no doubt that the new patrol ship will be another contribution of the shipyards to the creation of the Arctic grouping of the Russian Navy.
“The new ship that we launch today at the Admiralty Shipyards is designed to perform tasks in the harsh conditions of the Arctic,” said Igor Zvarich, head of the Technical Department of the Russian Navy. “To do this, it has a heavy-duty housing, a powerful main power plant and modern weapons. I am sure that he will fully comply with his legendary name!
“This is a unique and versatile ship: essentially military, but designed for peaceful work.” It combines the functions of a tugboat, patrol, icebreaker and a scientific vessel. It can solve an unlimited number of different tasks and, thanks to the incorporated design solutions, work in the Arctic region as efficiently as possible, ”said Georgy Poltavchenko, Chairman of the Board of Directors of USC JSC. - I am sure that this ship, like the Russian Arctic, has a great future!
The ship of project 23550 is designed to protect Arctic water resources; escort and towage to the port of detained ships; escort and support of support vessels; in addition, it has the ability to hit sea, coastal and air targets. It can cross ice about 1,7 m thick.
The main performance characteristics: displacement of about 9 thousand tons; the navigation area is unlimited, the economic speed is about 10 knots, the full speed is about 18 knots, the range of the economic course is about 10 thousand miles, autonomy is about 70 days. Arctic ship category Arc7. The ship will be armed with a portable anti-aircraft missile system and artillery mount. The possibility of permanent basing of a ship's helicopter is provided. The ship will have a radar station for lighting the air and surface situation and a hydrometeorological station. The construction contract was signed on April 25, 2016.
Earlier, in 2017, the Admiralty Shipyards handed over to the Russian Navy the diesel-electric icebreaker of project 21180 Ilya Muromets with the functions of a scientific hydrographic vessel. The ship became part of the Arctic fleet.

Even if 1,5 meters is still the largest in the world for patrols.

It’s completely icebreaking, with skiing.

[Jerk]

What are they supposed to patrol there? There is no analog of the Northern Sea Route, and there will never be

[Sergey39]

Northwest Passage. Which also claims the United States.

[Errr]

"There" is the Northwest Passage.)

[figwam]

We have a way, they have a passage.

[Errr]

Yes, such a passage. More truly - The Northwest Passage.)))

[Jerk]

What is being carried? Cargo from east to west of the USA, and the Panama Canal under repair?

[Errr]

The advantages of the Northwest Passage are obvious, namely: ship routes from Europe to East Asia can become 4000 km shorter (Shanghai-New York route). In addition, the presence of a passage is an attractive feature for the potential mining of mineral resources of the Canadian North, and this sea route can also be used to transport hydrocarbon resources in Alaska.
According to M. Byers, the NWFP is deep enough and will be able to accept supertankers and container ships (bulk carriers), Panamax class (294 meters long, 32 meters wide, 12 meters draft and a displacement of more than 65 thousand tons) and even a higher class that are too big to pass through the Panama Canal, the shortest route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean at present.
In 1969, the Exxon SS Manhattan (SS Manhattan) with its accompanying Northwind icebreaker, the US Coast Guard, traveled along the Northwest Passage as an alternative to the construction of the Alaskan pipeline. A US tanker tested the viability of the waterway as an oil delivery route from the northern slope of Alaska to the east coast.

[Jerk]

ship routes from Europe to East Asia may become 4000 km shorter (route Shanghai - New York)

WHO IS FROM EUROPE? From EUROPE it’s just shorter than the Northern Sea Route - by you. And the exact opposite!
All that you said - transport from the east to the west of the USA - and only to Alaska - from the east to the West coast - is cheaper, because closer - through Panama !!!

[Retvizan 8]

Where is Canada and where is the Arctic?
Where are these clowns going to patrol?
Or are they waiting for the ice age?

There is no crinoline in the stern; it is extremely uncomfortable to tow it. When in ice, when towed, it’s under the stern or back to back, or on a minimally short cable.

In general, to show, to tell, to promise more than the World Cup is / is possible .... it is not something unusual. Advertising, marketing however.
For a non-specialist, the picture is "fantastic".
The specialist understands everything correctly.

[Kettle]

Neither DeWolf nor Papanin are icebreakers.
As sometimes happens recently, the data is slightly embellished by officials and the media; such ... philistine, populist approach instead of clear definitions. Although this, in principle, is a trifle ... With hypersound, there, in general, many were confused to cereal in their heads.
They are ice class patrol vessels. And for the operation of the icebreaker - the movement on continuous multi-year ice and the piloting of ships in ice - are not intended.

I already wrote:
Never a sailor, but if you look at our classification of ice classes, then there are clear definitions for each of them.
Ice1 ... Ice3 - independent swimming in the shallow rarefied ice of the non-Arctic seas (as I understand it, individual small ice floes).
Arc4 ... Arc6 - in rarer Arctic ice (probably large, but still separate ice floes).
Arc7 (just "Papanin", in the brochures of the manufacturer, "Pella", even Arc6 is indicated) ... Arc9 - in cohesive ice (ice fields, drifting, but already clinging to each other) and overcoming ice bridges by raids.
And all this is an independent voyage, i.e. "for private purposes".
And then icebreakers come
Icebreaker6 ... Icebreaker9 - they are already for solid ice and for "public" icebreaking work - carrying other vessels in any ice - from thin to solid.

In the West, a different classification, with slightly different criteria.
DeWolf is a ship of the 5th polar class. Judging by the definitions and the fact that they have 7 of these classes, and the steepest is the 1st, the Papanin seems to be really better in this very icebreaking sense.

[Avior]

Same.
They simply have a completely different classification and such subtleties as the ability to move in shallow ice during icebreaking are simply not specified. And it does not stipulate separately independent sailing and icebreakers for wiring.

. PC5 - Year-round operation in annual ice of moderate thickness with inclusions of perennial ice.

And the 4th class they have is already ice of considerable thickness

. PC4 - Year-round operation in annual ice of significant thickness with inclusions of perennial ice.

[rocket757]

Quote: Kettle

Neither DeWolf nor Papanin are icebreakers.

PLUS, everything is clear.
An advertisement, a presentation for the layman was written ... also well done, experts, the customer, reads completely "different literature" .....

[Thrifty]

Yes, just what will they do if they get into ice hummocks? Or, they will go on a flight, and immediately run into the ice a meter thick under three — will our icebreaker be called?

[Dikson]

And there, by the way, there are enough of our icebreakers - they charter scientists in the American-Canadian Arctic on an expedition .. For many years, by the way .. Because to compare that our Papanin and Muromets, this Canadian with the same "Admiral Makarov" or "Dranitsyn "it's just stupid .. I'm generally silent about nuclear-powered ships ..

[IS-80_RVGK2]

In principle, our Palpatine will drown all this flotilla alone. Just stupidly firing from an automatic 76 mm gun.

The boat is not bad Canadian .. But the anchor cloaks are a bit low .. - will freeze for one or two .. About weapons - Will there be air defense on it in the form of portable air defense systems or something? It is unclear .. I read the branch - Here Papanin praised our ..
Actually - an under-tow and an under-ice .. - he does not have a wiring system on his mustache, judging by the photos and sketches .. An ice class coast guard patrol ship .. About Container Gauges - maybe at the design stage and laid such a modular idea .. As well as module for diving and rescue operations .. There is a series similar to ours .. But the placement of such a module automatically deprives the ship of a towing function .. - nothing should be aft there according to the rules .. A helicopter is needed not just for such ships .. Not enough that the ice reconnaissance, also with anti-submarine and anti-ship weapons .. Well then, a serious defender of the Arctic will be .. But it doesn’t hurt to put things in order on tin corvettes and plastic frigates ... - remembers them there like ice on paper ..
