    For the durability of a durable case! drinks
    happy holiday melt !!!
    There was a tired boat at the pier
    And a wave washed her gently.
    It’s not easy, apparently, the boat’s work ...
    Near the shore she was dozing quietly.
    What do you dream about at your own pier
    Steel Queen of the underwater depths?
    What seagull shouted alarmingly to you?
    What did the seals on the ice say?
    Her wind sang a song about the gentle sea,
    Stroking the boat steel sides.
    After all, again she will soon protect us from grief ...
    So let her sleep until ...

      Happy Sailor-Submariner Day !!! drinks
      The Vepr project 971 Shchuka-B multipurpose nuclear submarine (NPS) is currently undergoing factory sea trials after being repaired and modernized.

      As I understand it, the Project 971 Pike-B Boar weapon was also changed. Onyx and Caliber are likely.
      “Updated submarines will become deadly for enemy squadrons and aircraft-carrying groups,” an expert told Izvestia. - One of their volleys can hit several targets at once. Moreover, this can be done at a distance of the ultimate range of missiles. To attack, you need to get the coordinates of enemy objects from reconnaissance satellites, drones, planes or ships.


      The naval version of the Caliber went through baptism of fire, having established itself as a highly accurate and trouble-free weapon. It is also important that they can be used to strike strikingly at ground targets, which has been demonstrated in Syria. Now "Pike" will be able to effectively support the actions of our Ground Forces or landing forces.

          Onyx will definitely not. The caliber is in question. If integrated, the state should shoot back.

          Yes, everything will be, otherwise what is the point in deep modernization of 971 projects?
          Vepr is a Project 971 Shchuka-B strike submarine of the third generation. Submarines of this type are distinguished by low noise and are designed to hunt for enemy submarines and surface ships, as well as to guard Russian strategic missile carriers on alert. Together with Veprem, four nuclear submarines of the same type are being repaired with deep modernization: Bratsk, Volk, Leopard and Samara. All of them will be able to use the Kalibr cruise missiles.

          Initially, the main target of the Project 949 Antey nuclear submarines was considered to be aircraft carrier groups. To combat them, the 154-meter ships carried 24 Granit heavy cruise missiles. In the process of modernization, the boats are being adapted to use the latest Caliber, Onyx and Zircon missiles - there will be up to 72 of them on board each submarine.

          I was on her state (in the last century). I had to "indignate" a little. From a member of the commission I heard: "What do you want most of all?" But the firing program was completed. Although I heard a few words from the chairman in my address. It was necessary, of course, to be more diplomatic. He was young. But my six was small. He controlled everything he saw fit and made him do it. True, the special opinion had to be abandoned. I remember it was a fountain pen. Seven feet under the keel, good luck to the crew. Swimming with a holiday.

            In 91, a sailor with peritonitis was removed from a similar board on the Kalinin in the North Atlantic. We gave 12 knots 33 hours before the rendezvous. On the boat, the kid with appendicitis had complications. The commander of the campaign did not let the Ka-27 be raised, the wind was very strong. They filmed snipe. A stretcher on guys, a wave above the roof ... The guy in the cradle, poor fellow, under anesthesia, already turned green. They were lifted aboard together with the launch. And our operating room is excellent, and most importantly, doctor-surgeon-Hands of Gold - Tolya Voytsitsky! Saved the submariner! Somewhere now a sailor is running. Brothers submariners with the Holiday!

      On the state (20th century), according to the test program, they went in full swing for some time. Experienced all sorts of regimes, etc. That is another impression. The sea is shallow (White). I felt the trembling of the body as a "fifth point". Imagine: a five-story house rushes under water at about 60 km / h. How powerful! It was tense for the boatswain. On the "automatic" the boat "jumped" a little. The feedback on the rudders didn't work. Impression: "like a horse". And in the manual it is dumb. Not far from the bottom. I was thinking then, is there a breaker on the surface? (hump). Eh .... We were once also trotters.
      Happy holiday! For those at sea!

      Deep modernization of 971 projects.
      “Full dock repair, repair of ventilation valves, kingstones, main shaft shaft, propeller, special rubber coating is being carried out, the hull is being completely painted, those ship systems that affect its survivability are being repaired,” director of the enterprise Arkady Ohanyan told Zvezda shopping mall.

      In addition, he said, work is underway to replace the core of a nuclear reactor.

    Explain to me why keep four 650 mm torpedo tubes if the "thick" torpedoes for them have been removed from service? Was it not possible to install 533 mm instead of them?

      These devices are structurally made in combination with all the equipment of the submarine. These are supporting fittings, automated racks and other body kits. Moreover, the devices pass through a solid body into the nasal end. And it is not so easy to cut out old ones and "solder" new "thin" ones. Well, "thick" hydrogen peroxide torpedoes are not the only product that can be used from the corresponding vehicles. There are also missile torpedoes. They are in service and loaded onto submarines. So "thick" devices will come in handy.
