BPC Kerch of the Black Sea Fleet sent for disposal

Large anti-submarine ship "Kerch" project 1134B (code "Berkut-B") went for disposal. As reported by the Sevastopol Television, the ship was towed to Inkerman Bay at the last parking lot and subsequent butchering.

The Kerch BCP was the third in a series of seven ships of Project 1134B (the Berkut-B code, according to NATO codification - Kara class), built at the 61 Kommunar shipyard in Nikolaev. The main purpose is the action as part of the search and strike groups to search for and destroy nuclear missile submarines in remote areas of the ocean.

Laid down on April 30, 1971, launched on July 21, 1972. It was commissioned on December 25, 1974. He served in the Black Sea fleetFrom 1994 to 1997 was the flagship of the fleet.

In 2014, the ship embarked on a planned rehabilitation, but the fire that broke out in November 2014 on the BOD caused too much damage to the ship. The Navy Commission, which conducted the survey of the ship, decided not to restore it, but to dispose of it. In 2015, the Kerch BPC was withdrawn from the combat fleet and began to withdraw weapons.

On February 15, 2020, a solemn ceremony of lowering the Navy flag took place on the ship, the BOD was finally withdrawn from the fleet and transferred to the category of military equipment of the Ministry of Defense.

Recall that the new marching engines of the BPC "Kerch" of Ukrainian production were dismantled and rearranged on the patrol ship of project 1135 (code "Petrel") "Ladny". On “Kerch” completely new turbines were installed, purchased from Ukraine before the Maidan coup, at the same time, the “Turbine” turbines fully exhausted their resources.

Sorry ... Surely the ship served the country.

[kjhg]

Who is sorry? Ship? Sailors?
Sailors, on the contrary, are even glad, probably, that they got rid of such junk from which sand fell. Just think, what ancient instruments and equipment stood on it? A ship plowed for 40 years for the good of the country. How long to? It’s the same as not to send a 65-year-old veteran on a well-deserved rest, drive him along the front lines and assign the same tasks as the young ones.
The only thing you could do was make a museum out of it. Apparently, they did not consider it appropriate.

[210ox]

And by the way, how many of these museum ships do we have? Not much. Well, firstly, "Aurora" In Kaliningrad, there is a cruiser "Kutuzov" in Novorossiysk, an atomic icebreaker "Lenin", as far as I know. Not much. We must preserve the memory of the Great State and those who built and served on these ships.

[denplot]

Restless in Kronstadt, Savvy in Sevastopol will be, in Vladivostok the Red Pennant, the icebreaker Angara in Irkutsk. This is offhand. Plus pl in quantity.

Aurora in Kaliningrad?

And how many incidentally do we have such museum ships?

If you don’t pull out those that are on land - not a lot, but a small tonnage (somewhere up to 1000 tons) ...

[TermNachTer]

In conditions when the large ships of the Black Sea Fleet can be counted on one hand, the decommissioning of the Kerch is premature. It was possible to otkapitalit and re-equip at the UVP. "By eye" figured, it was possible to install 4 pieces. in the bow and stern. 64 missiles - almost Moskva.

[otstoy]

The living conditions on it were very good. One of the best in the Soviet Navy,

I have not heard that. If so, then it pleases. We got so started that the last thing they think about the comfort of sailors and soldiers. But what about the conditions on current ships? Did you serve on it?

[otstoy]

No, only then. Compared to project 61, life in the Bukharas was excellent.

[lucul]

Sorry ... Surely the ship served the country.

Yeah, they only helped to dispose of it ...

Almost 50 years of service gives the full right to retire, despite the fact that the fleet is being renewed (maybe not as fast as many think). And it's probably time to completely resolve the issue with the production of their engines (who thought in the SSR that Ukraine would become an enemy).

[hydrox]

Sorry.
What a handsome ship was ...

[donavi49]

40. He in 2012-13 went into actual repair. Well, he didn’t come out of it anymore. Rather, he went to the morgue.

[The leader of the Redskins]

So, according to current laws, he must be pulled to 65 until retirement!
But seriously, even though I’m not a marine person, I can see that the replacements are not equivalent. We remove the BOD, and we enter either an MRK or a patrol vessel.

tanks do not fight tanks

All Russian submarines have anti-submarine missiles.
Throw in "Waterfalls" and write letters in small handwriting. It is especially pleasant to use them if the enemy was the first to fire wire-guided torpedoes.

[Well done]

It’s sad. And with turbines, the mess is complete.

[Ilya-spb]

So it seems like they wanted to fix it with us? Or I'm wrong...

Of course, I'm not an engineer ...

But only ... In St. Petersburg there is a Kirov plant, Izhora plants. Are they not able to make a turbine for the ship?

[hydrox]

There is no one to do it :: Schools of turbine builders, gearboxes, engine interface equipment, technical and technical specifications have been devastated, higher education does not give out worthwhile mechanical engineers, and the military cannot wait for competent technical specifications and meeting calendar plans, moreover, they have 7 Fridays a week with eternal desire sequester denyushka.
And most importantly, there are no FRAMES at the plants.

[knn54]

-No FRAMES.
The terrible Russian Reality, there are vacancies, and unemployment is growing.
You can't put "effective managers" for a drawing board (conditionally) or for a machine.
Money is allocated to support perfume and cosmetic salons, MacDonalds, brokerage houses, and of course banks.
The people are "powdered" brains with cosmetic repairs of nuclear submarines and other equipment.
The opposition is furious that there may be nothing left for it.
I do not want to think about the time when the Soviet achievements were over, the machine park would become worthless.
Sore.

[seregin-s1]

PJSC UEC-Saturn Rybinsk does.

[otstoy]

There they make turbines only under 22350.

[donavi49]

There are brand new turbines. Now the Ladny will run on them. They were received under Yanukovych.

Kerch finished off the fire. For a bunch of everything burned out. We decided not to deal with hauling highways on a 45+ year old ship + digest the power set on the hull, because the characteristics changed in an important and busy place.

[otstoy]

Well, that at least it happened. If it weren’t fodder for Kerch, but a bow MO, and Ladny would go after her.

And the ship is handsome ... Well, a seniority pension is worthy!

[iouris]

If this is not cannibalism, then what is cannibalism?
Who is there heading the department of light industry?
However, it is too late to drink Borjomi.

[Dante Alighieri]

Natural cannibalism. And alright, weaker ships would be sacked in favor of stronger ones, but exchanging BOD for TFR, to be frank, is a very controversial decision, even if we take into account the medium-term prospect of commissioning new ships. Of course, I understand that, technically, Ladny is in much better condition than Kerch, but this situation makes it even more offensive: the units actually needed by our fleet burn, rust, rot and, as a result, come to waste, while the middle peasants, who have not played at least any significant factor in the confrontation at sea for a long time, continue to spend their modest century. I’m not saying that the 1135 is a bad ship, on the contrary for its time it was not bad at all, so much so that its variations in the form of pr. 11356 find their place in the modern world, too, but you can’t jump above the head of this series: as they were average people, so those continue to be. But 1134-B had every chance of being transformed into something much more significant and such projects were and were even embodied in metal, it is a pity that this did not go further. But they could provide real help to their classmates at number 1155.

[Николаев]

1155-stillborn project, as well as em 956-senile insanity of Gorshkov. After him, a modernization project 1134b was developed. Work began on "Nikolaev" and "Tashkent" (at the time of the termination of funding, the degree of readiness of "Nikolaev" was about 47%, preparatory work was underway on "Tashkent", but what happened happened. The ship, of course, is a handsome man, not like stumps 1155 ...

[rocket757]

Everything has its time.

[novel66]

while there is no change - the sentry has no right to leave its post! Hi

[rocket757]

Hi
What country do we live in now? Who rules the ball? Privatizators, and for them the main thing is only loot.
The sentry, of course, must and must, but how it was treated makes service impossible!
The heads must be removed from those who interfere, steal, destroy ... was this done ??? I doubt it very much!
Therefore, it will burn, crumble, sink, fall and continue on the list.

[iouris]

Time is a non-renewable resource, it is no longer there (the head of the bobo, but also the money of tyuty).

[Aleksandr1971]

It is interesting that on April 22 on this site there was news that another BOD of Project 1135 "Ladny", which also survived a severe fire, would be returned to service.
Apparently due to the fact that Russia cannot master the production of power plants for ships and such "self-criticism" occurs. 2014 years have passed since Maidan 6. When will the notorious self-sufficiency in armaments finally appear!

[Николаев]

Maidan is not capitalized.

[Mavrikiy]

Laid down on April 30, 1971, launched on July 21, 1972. It was commissioned on December 25, 1974.

There was a time ....... 4 years and 6700 tons in operation.

[xomaNN]

but the fire that broke out in November 2014 on the BOD caused too much damage to the ship.

The same rake in the ship industry for decades in a row ... That will be the edge ???. Measures should not only be imputed in these cases.
------------
Goodbye - "Kerch"!

A series of pr. 1134 A / B, together with 1135, was the backbone of the surface Navy of the USSR in 70 years. On the ships of this project I had to work with RPK complexes.

[Николаев]

The fact of the matter is that it was necessary to develop this pair: 1134 (B) and 1135, and not produce worthless 1155 and 956. An unnecessary waste of money on mediocre projects. Does anyone know how much budget money was heaped into unnecessary modernization of the 61st plant in Nikolaev, for the proposed construction of the 956 series? There is an astronomical amount that could be spent on 1134b and 1135 ...

[alex aircraft]

BOD was built and commissioned in 3.5 years with: stagnation; but how many smaller ships are being built now? and all kinds of GDP will tell me about the impasse of socialism and that there was nothing besides galoshes.

[avia12005]

The Ministry of Industry and Trade, led by Minister Manturov, who is the richest in the Cabinet under both Medvedev and Mishustin, is responsible for production in the Russian Federation. Guess three times - does he need production?

[Old Horseradish]

A sub colony has no right, by definition, to have large ships.
In order not to scream fools, the reality is as follows:
What is the ruble? This is sub-money. That is what it is.

Even the most shocked what the ruble is. And what do we get for our work.

[Region-25.rus]

Laid down on April 30, 1971, launched on July 21, 1972. Put into operation on December 25, 1974

knew how to build ah!

[Andrey the Magnificent]

This is the construction time of the ship, for ONE year !!!
Such a country was destroyed !!! (((
As I now understand Vereshchagin from the classic of Soviet cinema "White Sun of the Desert": "There used to be a power, there used to be smugglers, but now there is no power, no customs, no smugglers."
In general, such a country was destroyed !!! (((

They have been talking about this for 40 years, at least, but things are still there. In the early 80s, TM had an article on this topic. In fact, we have lost a giant layer of ships of the 20th century. Not a single destroyer of the project? or 7U, SKR of the first projects, cruisers of project 26. But in the late 60s, early 70s, these ships were in service, albeit in the form of training ... Of the post-war - EM project 30-bis IMHO, there is not one ... EM project 56/57 - too. Project 68 cruiser - "Kutuzov". The cruiser of the project 1134 - no, the BOD of the project 1134A - no. our first missile cruisers of Project 58 are also not. In fact, several submarines and ships have become museum pieces. Everything else is on pins and needles

Cannibalism, dear, is when they shoot from one, and put on the other. And there is nowhere to put. Except for "Kerch" there are no ships of this project live ...

hit the ship with their mediocrity and sloppiness

[7,62x54]

Properly organized diversion brings a good result, at minimal cost. Kerch, Kuznetsov, PD. All these are links of one chain, you can’t write off disorder here.

[otstoy]

This is because the military has nowhere to dissolve. When the Su-34 pilots, upon returning from flights, begin to play like children, and lose two aircraft worth 70 megabytes. Someone answered for this disgrace?

[alexmach]

For this, in fact, someone paid with their lives.

[Destroyermen]

Sorry for the old woman ... could be a wonderful museum. There are not many large ships left in the 1970s ...

[made13]

I hope after that in Sevastopol they will stop offering Kutuzov from Novorossiysk to pick up - they themselves have missed the opportunity to build a museum. Personal pocket, as always, won.
A couple of years ago, our Sevastopol patriots demanded or offered to transfer the cruiser Kutuzov to Sevastopol. And my own, practically finished museum, about .... Kutuzov 210m long, Kerch 162. I do not think that the maintenance of Kerch as a museum would be more expensive than Kutuzov.
Patriots were blown away :-(
