Large landing craft "Petr Morgunov" has completed the program of state tests

The large landing ship (BDK) "Pyotr Morgunov" of project 11711 completed the program of state tests and returned to the Baltic shipyard "Yantar" in Kaliningrad. The press service of the enterprise reports.

The Yantar plant has completed the program of state tests of the Pyotr Morgunov large landing ship. The ship returned to the shipyard. This year, the Pyotr Morgunov large landing craft is planned to be transferred to the Naval the fleet of Russia

- said in a statement.

Most likely, at Yantar, the ship will undergo a control check and training before being transferred to the fleet. The date of raising the Andreevsky flag on the large landing craft has not yet been announced.

Recall that the BDK completed the factory sea trials back in May, after which it began the state stage. On October 1, the BDK interrupted testing due to an outbreak of coronavirus infection on board, returning to them only in early November. During the November exit to the sea, the work of the ship's weapons was checked and the landing of helicopters was worked out.

BDK "Peter Morgunov" is the second ship of the project 11711 and the first serial after the lead BDK "Ivan Gren". Laid down in June 2015 and launched on May 25, 2018. The construction of the ship was carried out with delays, since it was necessary to correct the mistakes made in the design of the lead ship.

BDK 11711 is able to accommodate 13 tanks or more than 30 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. The ship also provides for the deployment of a reinforced battalion of the Marine Corps, as well as the temporary basing of various types of ship helicopters. The ship has a cruising range of 4 thousand nautical miles, which allows you to perform tasks in the far sea zone.

The good news though!

[Borik]

Due to the coronavirus, the delivery of the ship was delayed. So we wish him trouble-free service after he hoists the St. Andrew's flag.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Hooray! We have already drawn the tail number! Long and successful service!

Well, at least there will already be two new large landing ships, otherwise the old people are completely tired because of the "Syrian express".

Large landing craft "Petr Morgunov" to the Black Sea Fleet! old men Saratov and his brothers to replace .. The ships are pulling the strap, it's time for them to rest!

[Ax Matt]

Great news. Ship ... not very

[Thrifty]

Well, now what will be of this type built? Two ships are not enough, the old landing ships with three resources at least depleted, they needed replacement yesterday!

[Borik]

Let's hope that on the two ships of the second series, the construction of the large landing ship will not be interrupted and continue further.

This project will not happen. Now 2 expedition ships are being built.

According to the plan, after 25 years, delivery. Photo 3 shows one of the sections in the background.

So I wrote that after two ships (the 2nd SERIES) And this, what you show in the photo, is the ships of the 2nd series of the "Vladimir Andreev" type. So you need to read more carefully.

[Lex_is]

This is the same project, which made changes to the superstructure, layout and flight deck for the use of the Ka-52K "Katran".

[seregin-s1]

Two were laid in Kaliningrad, two in Sevastopol.

two in Sevastopol.

UDC project 23900, "Ivan Rogov" and "Mitrofan Moskalenko" have already been laid in Kerch.

All again, thank God! !! Ask a question and you will get a bucket of minuses in return! !!

The large landing craft in the Navy is an irreplaceable workhorse. After all, they are not engaged in only landing troops ... There should be several such ships for each of the fleets. Therefore, they simply have to be as simple and inexpensive as possible.
And Ivan Gren is as good as possible, as difficult as possible and expensive. And they will not build them in the quantity necessary for the Navy ...

[Ros 56]

Take into account the mistakes and build a dozen more to the delight of the foe.

[Turanov]

A good ship and a very necessary one for Russia now! And then all on the old people BDK went hiking ..! Well seven feet under the keel!

[venik]

"...Large landing craft "Petr Morgunov" is the second ship of project 11711 and first serial after the head large landing craft "Ivan Gren"...."
========
I hope also the last, since all subsequent ones should be built on the significantly changed, improved project:

Here it is in more detail.

I gave a special transporant for the new BDK! To make it clear that "Andreev" and "Trushin" are being laid according to the already changed, more "sane" project! Frankly speaking, it is surprising that the new ships have the same project code - 11711 .... Well, you can see that the project has been seriously changed!
I'd like to believe that both "Andreev" and "Trushin" will be much more successful project than their predecessors "Gren" and "Morgunov"! Although I wish both of them "7 feet under the keel" and GOOD service !!!
PS It is terribly interesting to look at the BDK projects laid down in Kerch !!! Oh, and disassemble curiosity ....... Moreover, the landing fleet needs updating for a long time !!!

I'd like to believe that both "Andreev" and "Trushin" will turn out to be a much more successful project than their predecessors

When the initial assignment included the requirement to cross by inland waterways, it was difficult to expect something worthwhile.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

In Kerch, not a BDK, at UDC (helicopter carriers) they laid under 25 displacement each.

The ship is completely different. But, apparently, they want to confuse the foe, and the code of the project was left the same. Without changing a single number

[vadivm59]

Explain how the lead ship differs from the first serial ship?

=======
First of all, the fact that on the "first serial" should already be eliminated deficiencies identified on the head.

[Ryaruav]

this is not a bdk, but high-speed supply transports for the landing in the west of such ships were abandoned in the 80s

[ZEMCH]

Ship Seven feet under the keel!
Have a good service!

[Andylw]

martyr ship, however
in fact, in a year, they will be handed over to the fleet ...
if nothing breaks again

[VLADIMIR VLADIVOSTOK]

Morgunov is absolutely unnecessary in the West! Where to land the troops? Unless to drive to Syria! But at the Pacific Fleet it is necessary! How to get to the Kuriles and Kamchatka? And driving to Syria is also a cut of finances! Allocate so much, spend on the leftover principle!
