Frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" aims at scheduled maintenance and modernization

The lead frigate of project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov will undergo scheduled maintenance and "partial modernization." The ship left Severomorsk and began the transition to Severodvinsk. This was reported by the press service of the North fleet.

According to the press service, upon arrival in Severodvinsk, the frigate will take up scheduled maintenance, during which "partial modernization of systems and mechanisms" will be carried out. What exactly the modernization will consist of is not reported, nor are the timing of the modernization known. At the end of the work, the ship will go through tests at the Northern Fleet’s test sites in the White Sea.

"Admiral Gorshkov" is the lead frigate of project 22350. It is intended for combat operations in the far and near sea zones, as well as for participation in solving problems in the ocean zone. The ship's displacement is about 4500 tons, the longest is about 130 m, the largest is more than 16 m. Cruising range - more than 4000 miles, seaworthiness - without restrictions.

Built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg, became part of the Northern Fleet in July 2018.

Armament: 130-mm A-192 artillery mount, Redut anti-aircraft missile system, UKSK 3S14 universal launcher for 16 Caliber or Onyx anti-ship missiles, Paket-NK anti-submarine system, Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter.

Recall that in February this year it became known about the first launches from the frigate of the latest Zircon hypersonic missile.

"partial modernization of systems and mechanisms" will be carried out. What exactly the modernization will consist of is not reported, and the timing of the modernization is also unknown. Upon completion of the work, the ship will go through tests at the Northern Fleet's sea ranges in the White Sea.

Who has what options?

The construction took a long time, so something became subject to replacement and modernization so soon after the delivery of the fleet. Again, it is impossible to exclude the running-in of something from the novelties - the ship is the lead in the series, a kind of test bench for future younger brothers.

They tested Zircon with him, maybe modernization is connected with this?

It is possible, but it is unlikely that this is connected with the UKKS, perhaps changes were required in connection with this in software or control and management systems. Tests of new products on a real ship, rather than on a stand, quite often reveal small flaws for themselves, however they are usually easily fixed.

"Pot" recently ran around the world! And this - "pleasure" - not cheap - the treasury "flew a pretty penny"! The question is - WHY? The answer is obvious: to "drive" the ship on a long voyage, in different climatic zones, in order to reveal (and eliminate) all the hidden "Achilles' heels" that did not appear during the tests. Moreover, a SERIES is under construction!
Secondly, we must not forget that Zircons were recently shot from the "Pot". As an option - maybe it was necessary to "earn some money", "strengthen", "change" .....
So that everything is logical. This news did not surprise me at all - rather the opposite!

[alexmach]

Secondly, we must not forget that Zircons were recently fired from the "Pot"

Even when the Zircons were fired, there was a very strange photo with something similar to the TPK lying on the helipad.

There was still talk about the shooting of the X-35 from UKKS and about the fact that it needs to be further developed for this

I saw this photo. There it was really difficult to understand what exactly lay next to the helipad .... But as an option: something really looking like a rocket (in a container) .... What exactly was it - Alas! So it remained a "secret covered in darkness" ...

Rumors also circulated ... As an option - it goes away! As a platform for testing various modifications of the UKSK - pr. 22350 - "the very thing"!
But also to "discount" such a problem as "bringing to mind" machines, mechanisms, instrumentation, life support systems, etc. etc. - also impossible. If on the subsequent frigates of the series these "childhood diseases" are eliminated already during construction, then not the "Pot" or even "Kasatone" will probably have to "adjust" something!

Most likely it is connected with Zircon .. well, he needs repair, he went through quite a few ..

I suspect that diesels in the power plant will be "modernized". Although it cannot be ruled out that something in the Polyment-redoubt "will require revision. Or maybe somewhere else.
Generally, upgrading after less than 2 years of service is possible for 2 reasons:
1) Light "ailments" that will be corrected quickly.
2) Serious problems, the correction of which may take a very long time.
I sincerely hope for the first

==============
I also!
But even assuming second - that's okay too! After all, the rest of the ships of the series are still under construction ("not counting the Kasatonych"). Well, it's not for nothing that the "Pot" was so fiercely driven "both in the tail and in the mane" - in two years TWO long voyages: first to Cuba, did not have time shedding - "around the world" ...
Everything is RIGHT (yes, he has traveled more miles in 2 years than his counterparts (including and "foreign") for 5 or even 10 years pass! It is necessary to "maximize" to identify "childhood diseases" and Eliminate "in the bud" (on ships under construction)! Well, and with the poor "Pot" - what to do? Do not leave "as is" ?!
PS By the way, the "proud brits" with their "Daring" (type 45) notably "stepped on the rake" - they "riveted" 6 pieces on a fast one, and after a couple of years they had to drive "in chorus" for "overhaul and modernization" - "Daymond" only spent more than a year in the repair! About the rest - I will not say, but also spent a long time .... And the money was "thrown" - Oh-oh-oh!
We somehow "cannot afford" such "exercises" - "Better to measure 7 times ....."

[Rakovor]

I will say more, he passed more tests during these trials than in these two years.

... upgrading after less than 2 years of service

?! Suggests the thought of - curvature of the information space How minimum ?! For less than two years of operation, the ship ceased to meet modern requirements (including for its armament) after the very first test launches of the Zircons (which have been talked about for so long as a fait accompli (!). not only have been in service for a long time / and not only begin their tests / (!), but are available in sufficient quantities on carriers and armament depots of the armed forces) ?! All such an innovative and modern ship (TOP 5 best frigates in the world !!) ?! Built for 17 years ?! And it seems we were told that it is built specifically for "Caliber / Onyx / Zircon" ... Or (It turns out for 17 years they thought how to install the Volna air defense system there ?! Where exactly were we all "snatched the game" ?!

... is possible for 2 reasons:

?! the first, probably, something was not right for us "poured into our ears" earlier ?! or now ?!

1) Light "ailments" that will be corrected quickly.

Its most recently "WELL, it took a very long time to DELIVER and tested"before passing the fleet ?! or not ?! Did not finish ?!

2) Serious problems, the correction of which may take a very long time.

Then what were you doing before signing the deed of transfer to the fleet ?! - "where is the money - Zin?" (V.S. Vysotsky).

head - not serial, everything is normal for the ship !!!

Now, after remembering how much it was built / tested and then transferred to the fleet ... And after 2 yearsturned out to require modernization ?!

[jonht]

Most likely, after the beams of "Zircon", something will change. Perhaps you need to install additional. equipment or modernization installed for new weapons. Alternatively, from test blocks of equipment to integrated into the system and BIOS.

[dgonni]

Too early to upgrade. Apparently something zhurnalyugi confused. And if you haven’t mixed it up, then this speaks of the quality of the building in a bad way.

Ships must be protected!
There was a joke: a patrol ship of the Navy of Venezuela (the most modern of
her ships) was fired upon and rammed by a Portuguese passenger airliner.
His engine broke down and he drifted into the Venezuelan waters.
As a result of the ram, the warship quickly sank.
The passenger liner did not receive significant damage.
These hot latinos! - ships must be protected!
