The Ufa diesel-electric submarine built for the Pacific Fleet conducted a deep-sea dive as part of state tests

Built for the Pacific fleet diesel-electric submarine "Ufa" conducted a deep-sea dive as part of state tests. As reported in the press service of the Baltic Fleet, the tests of the submarine were provided by ships and aviation Baltic Fleet.

The fourth "Varshavyanka" for the Pacific Fleet reached the stage of state tests, already working out the program in full at the sea ranges of the Baltic Fleet. Information about the start of state trials was not announced, although earlier at the Admiralty Shipyards it was reported that factory sea trials would gradually develop into state trials. Apparently this happened.

Meanwhile, the submarine has already made a deep-sea dive to a depth of 190 meters as part of state tests. On board the submarine was the crew and commissioning team of the Admiralty Shipyards, who checked the operation of all systems and mechanisms of the submarine, worked out the algorithms of actions when controlling the ship at depths and with various methods of ascent to the surface.

So far, there is no information on the timing of the transfer of "Ufa" to the Russian Navy, but this should happen before the end of this year.

The Ufa is the fourth of six submarines in the series for the Pacific Fleet, laid down in November 2019 and launched on March 31, 2022. The first three submarines of the series have already been accepted into the Navy: the lead "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky" was transferred to the fleet in 2019, the first serial "Volkhov" - in 2020, and the second serial "Magadan" in October 2021. The first two submarines have already been sent to Kamchatka to the place of permanent deployment, the third submarine will remain in the Baltic for the time being, the military has not yet announced its transition to the Far East, most likely it is waiting for the Ufa to make an inter-naval transition together.

190 meters? Deep sea? OK. But where did they find such a hole in the Baltic?

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Maybe they found it in the Bornholm area?

[tralflot1832]

Opposite Latvia there is a hole of 249 meters, up to a maximum depth of 51 meters, but there is still a hole of half a kilometer.

In the USSR, the Pacific Fleet was the number 1 fleet! Even the division of the Marine Corps was there, but the saboteurs Kholuy had no equal.

Well, the number one fleet has always been the Northern Fleet, then the Pacific Fleet. You can see it even in the composition of the ships.

[Saboteur_Navy]

No, in the USSR, all attack ships to counter the 7th fleet were in the Pacific Fleet, in the north there was another component, nuclear, carriers of submarine nuclear missiles cannot withstand AUGs, their role is to strike at the USA and NATO, this is a little different, and there are practically no US Navy, except for nuclear submarines, but this is different

Who would explain, two diesel engines of 1500 kW each, a propeller motor of 5500 hp. Where does almost 2000 kW come from to load the propeller motor at full power of 5500 hp?

[Briz]

There are also batteries there. Diesel engines play the role of a generator on a car, they do not have to give out the fullest power. The submarine is designed for stealth and therefore the main move is under water.

7 feet under the keel and that the number of dives is equal to the number of ascents

Yes, I want to laugh about deep diving. Together
with you. And how much German type VII and American "Teng"
(type "Balao") dived?
During World War II...

That is, the technologies of the 20th century, but where is the air independence?
