The lead vessel will become part of the Northern Fleet, the correspondent said. ITAR-TASS commander of the Navy of the Russian Federation, Admiral Viktor Chirkov. Today he participated in a ceremony dedicated to laying the Elbrus ship, the lead in the series, in the boathouse of the Northern Shipyard.

With the help of such supply vessels, they will be loading, storing, transporting and transferring dry cargo to the shore and to various ships, they will be used for towing, assisting ships and ships in distress.

According to Alexander Ushakov, director general of the Severnaya Verf, the company’s plan is to build six frigates of the near and far sea zone of the Admiral of the Soviet Fleet Gorshkov type (project 22350) and six corvettes of the near sea type Steregushchy (projects 20380 and 20385 ), as well as the communications vessel of the 18280 project "Yuri Ivanov" for the Russian Navy.

There are no combat ships, why do the Rooks need rear ships? However, towing assistance puts everything in its place. Recently, for some reason, there is always a tug next to a warship, maybe it is due to some rules, but the trend is steady

[Lord of the Sith]

Apparently hurt for the future, they decided to build the rear to distribute among the fleets, and then build large combat ships ...

Such ships are necessary for the operation of ships at sea and during the passage of areas difficult to navigate, when entering port zones, to obtain supplies, for removal and delivery to patients' hospitals. They work a lot, wear out, become obsolete and sometimes require replacement or replenishment of the park. Probably everyone saw it when a ship calls at the port, a tug always helps him, if for some reason port services do not work in the port, then such a call will not be possible. For non-maneuverable military vessels and submarines, this is very important.

First, the first thing to launch is what needs to be provided in the future! And only then supply ships. Well, or at the same time. We have very few autonomous large ships. Would throw all my strength there or something I do not know. And then damn some missile boats and support ships.

[Nickname]

I completely agree. Why are they without performing their basic functions, and the costs of them are also considerable.
Maybe in the end they will understand that without militants an auxiliary fleet is not needed. Six months ago, expressed this opinion, so zamusunuyut to gray epaulettes.

Chesme’s battles are not yet foreseen, there is time, but it’s necessary to build rear and combat, carrier aircraft ......... everything will come in handy

[predator.2]

Right ! All shipyards should work in three shifts.

[toguns]

cheap populism will not do.
too large tonnage if with pr. 22350 and pr 20380 there are big problems in terms of time, then where are they 9000 nickname in two years.

Support ships are needed, of course. In our time (80s) there was only one real (!) Complex rear support ship in the entire Navy - "Berezina", on the Black Sea Fleet. Used not more than 40 percent. Then he became "Hetman" by someone or someone else, not in the know, but mb. and I am wrong. But the people are right! While combat ships of the class EM, BOD, not to mention aircraft carriers are built, the supplier will need to go to the capital, this is at least.

[navigator]

Well, a very clever comment, and how to provide existing warships? The auxiliary fleet in the Navy is older than the battle fleet and has been breathing incense for a long time. We have already gone through this, having built a type of Minsk and Novoros and ditched them without proper provision and basing!

[mike_z]

Yes, and provide, as it is now! Until! Did I write that integrated supply ships are not needed? Are needed! And the sound of the hospital is needed. We need everything. But at present we have destroyers and BOD with a gulkin nose. I meant - what to build in the first place. I think that warships. There is NO surface fleet! Will we argue? It needs to be recreated. And parallel to the rear. It is natural.
