Atomic missile cruiser "Peter the Great"

98
Heavy Nuclear Missile Cruiser (TARKR) Project 1144.3 Peter the Great is a technically and militarily highly sophisticated system equipped with the most advanced weapons, navigation, target designation, reconnaissance and control. Many experts consider this ship even more complex than nuclear submarine missile carriers. Over its creation in our country worked for a long 12 years. Mortgaged for Pacific fleet under the name "Yuri Andropov" in 1998 he became part of the Northern Fleet of Russia under the name "Peter the Great". On April 9, 1998, an act of acceptance of the atomic cruiser in the Russian fleet was signed. On April 18, the Andreevsky flag was hoisted on board the Peter the Great.

The ship belongs to the 3-generation nuclear missile cruisers, is the world's largest non-combatant warship. TARKR “Peter the Great” is intended for the destruction of large surface targets (single and group), protection of fleet compounds from attacks by submarines and air attacks in remote areas of the world’s ocean. In total, the 1144 ship was built on the 4 Orlan project, in addition to the Peter the Great are cruisers: Kirov (Admiral Ushakov), Frunze (Admiral Lazarev) and Kalinin (Admiral Nakhimov). Currently, only one ship of this type is in service - Peter the Great, while all 3 TARKR Ave 1144 will be returned to the fleet after repairs and upgrades.

The Peter the Great heavy nuclear missile cruiser has a standard displacement of 23 750 tons, the full displacement of the cruiser is 26 390 tons. The ship has the following dimensions: the greatest length - 251,2 meters, on the waterline - 230 meters, width - 28,5 meters, draft - 10,3 meters. The height of the ship 59 meters from the level of the main plane.

Atomic missile cruiser "Peter the Great"

The main powerplant of the atomic cruiser with 2 nuclear fast-neutron reactors. The total capacity of the plant is 600 MW, there is also a 2 main turbo-gear unit (GTZA) with a capacity of 70 000 hp. each. In the backup version, they can receive steam from 2-x steam boilers running on organic fuel. The combination of a nuclear power plant with oil superheaters increases the overall power of the power plant and the speed of the cruiser. For comparison, "Peter the Great" is able to provide heat and electricity to a city the size of 150-200 thousands of residents. The two propeller shafts transmit the rotation to the 2 five-blade screws. The maximum speed of the “Peter the Great” is 32 knot (almost 60 km / h). Two reserve steam boilers are able to provide the ship with a speed of 17 knots and a range of at least 1000 nautical miles.

The crew of the nuclear-powered missile cruiser consists of 610 people (112 officers), which are located in 1600 different rooms, including 140 single and double cabins for officers and midshipmen, as well as 30 headquarters for sailors and foremen (for 8-30 each). In addition, the crew of the ship has 15 showers, a sauna with a pool, two baths, a two-level medical unit, with isolation rooms, x-ray and dental offices, an operating room, a pharmacy, an outpatient clinic, a gym equipped with various simulators, 3 cabins for officers, midshipmen and admirals, lounge for the rest with a grand piano and billiards, as well as its own ship TV studio. The length of the 49 warship corridor is more than 20 km., While the ship has 6 decks and 8 tiers. The height of its add-ons is equal to the height of a 7-storey residential building.

Protection TARKR provides for the implementation of measures to reduce its radar visibility. In addition, the measures of structural local protection strengthened the protection of cellars for the storage of projectiles, anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles. The ship’s autonomy for food and food stocks is 60 days, for fuel - 3 of the year (unlimited at a nuclear reactor).


The main armament of the missile cruiser is the Granit anti-ship missile system (created by NPO Mashinostroeniya). The cruiser has 20 CM-233 launchers with advanced high-precision P-700 “Granit” anti-ship cruise missiles. The PUs are mounted under the upper deck of the ship, with an elevation angle of 60 degrees. The maximum missile launch range is 550 km, the missile’s flight is exclusively on a low-altitude trajectory - 200-250 km. Missile Speed ​​- Mach 1,6-2,5. The length of the P-700 rocket is 10 meters, the diameter of the 0,85 meter, the starting weight is 7 tons. The missile can be equipped with a conventional warhead (750 kg. BB), a nuclear one-piece (500 CT) or a fuel-air warhead to create a volumetric explosion.

Rockets "Granit" have a multi-variant program for attacking targets, as well as increased noise immunity and are designed to attack maritime group targets. During salvo firing, one of the rockets flies at high altitude in order to increase the detection range of the enemy, sharing the information obtained with the other rockets that can literally trail off the water surface. In case the leader rocket is hit by the enemy, one of the auxiliary missiles can automatically take its place. Over-the-horizon targeting and targeting can be carried out using Tu-95РЦ airplanes or Ka-31 helicopters, as well as specialized space reconnaissance and targeting systems.

The air defense of the ship is provided by an analogue of the C-300 land complex called the C-300F Fort. The ship has 12 PU and 96 vertical launch missiles. In addition, the air defense system of the ship includes an autonomous shipborne air defense system “Blade” (“Dagger”). Each of the 16 underdeck drum-type PU is equipped with 8 solid-fuel single-stage remote-controlled 9М 330-2 missiles, the total ammunition - 128 missiles. Unified with the Tor-M1 ground forces missiles.


In addition, the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser is equipped with the Kortik anti-aircraft missile and artillery complex, which protects the ship from a number of “accurate” weapons, including anti-radar and anti-ship missiles, air bombs, helicopters and airplanes, light-tonnage vessels. In total, the ship has 6 ZARK “Dirk”, each of them has X-NUMXx2-mm six-barreled AK-30 M-630 artillery installations with total fire rates at the level of XinMX units of 2 per minute, as well as 10 unit on 000 two of the basic units of the list of the two basic units of the list of the basic units of the basic units of the basic units of the team. fuse and frag-core warhead. These missiles are unified with the rocket of the 2C4 “Tunguska” army air defense complex. The control system of the “Dirk” air defense missile system includes radar and television systems that are interconnected by means of AI elements. The 9 installations of ZARK are installed in the bow of the cruiser on either side of the PU Granit, and 311 in the aft part of the main superstructure.

In addition, "Peter the Great" is armed with 130-mm multipurpose AK-130 paired artillery units (barrel length 70 caliber, ammunition - 840 shells), the maximum firing range to 25 km. The rate of fire is from 20 to 80 shots per minute. AK-130 uses 27-kg projectiles, which can be equipped with different types of fuses: impact, remote and radio-fuses. Ready to fire ammunition is 180 shells. The artillery unit is controlled by the MP-184 fire control system, which allows you to simultaneously accompany and fire 2 targets.

TARKR is also armed with 2 anti-submarine (5 PU from each side) missile-torpedo 533-mm complexes RPK-6М “Waterfall”, which can attack enemy submarines at a distance of 60 km. To combat enemy torpedoes, the cruiser has the RKPTZ-1 “Udav-1М” anti-torpedo complex (10 pipe-guides, reaction time - 15 s, automatic conveyor reloading, maximum range - 3000 meters, minimum - 100 meters, missile weight - XNXX ).


In addition, the Peter the Great TARKR is equipped with jet bombs, which are arranged as follows: one ten-pipe RBU-12000 (80 projectile weight kg, firing range 12 000 meters) is located in the bow of the vessel and mounted on a turntable, another 2-e six-pipe The Smerch-1000 RBU-3 units (55 projectile mass, kg, firing range - 1000 meters) are installed in the aft section on the upper deck on each side.

The general ship counteraction system includes 2-e paired 150-mm PU PC-14 (burst interference complex), spurious targets, counter-electronic traps, as well as a false towed torpedo target, equipped with a powerful noise generator. Also on board the cruiser is the 2 anti-submarine Ka-27 helicopter. The electronic filling of a heavy missile cruiser includes 16 stations of 3 types. General ship tracking, targeting and tracking means consist of 2-x space communication stations (SATSOM), 4-x space navigation stations (SATPAU), as well as 4-x special electronic stations. The air and surface situation is constantly monitored by the 2-e all-weather three-coordinate Fregat-MAE radar (produced by the Salyut plant). These stations are able to detect the target at a distance of 300 km and at altitudes of 30 km.

Also "Peter the Great" is equipped with 4-me radio-electronic fire control systems weapons, 3 navigation stations, the identification of "friend or foe", helicopter flight controls. The cruiser's hydroacoustic system includes a sonar with a hull antenna, which is installed in the bulb fairing, for searching and detecting enemy submarines at low and medium frequencies, as well as an automated towed sonar system having an antenna of variable depth (150-200 meters) and operating at mid frequencies.

    So only 4 ... It is necessary to carry out a deep modernization of such ships .... And scatter them in the fleets. And then all this overhaul and modernization often in Russia ends with the theft of money, and the remaining ship is painted and restored to trifles, and then it falls apart 3 times faster ...

      The fact that we will have four such whoppers in service is already a huge and incredible matter! In sum, they are like a whole separate fleet with all the infrastructure. And one, as you know, is not a warrior in the field. After all, such a boat is the most darling goal and a priority target for any enemies. Therefore, it is necessary to take not only skill, but also quantity.

          The only thing that confused me in the article was "fast neutron reactors". As far as I know, ONLY hefty stationary NPPs can operate on fast neutrons now, for mobile installations neutrons of "thermal" speeds are used, controllability is easier there and the compactness of the installation is noticeably higher

            Well, the author’s usual non-attentiveness is normal, they are equipped with ordinary water-water nuclear reactors like in submarines. Fast Neutron Reactor, BN-600 - A fast neutron reactor with sodium coolant, commissioned in April of the 1980 year at the 3 power unit at the Beloyarsk NPP in the Sverdlovsk Region near the town of Zarechny. Electric power - 600 MW. By the way the first in the world.

              Wow carelessness. In order to protect yourself, you could write just a nuclear reactor, without details.
              And on Peter, all rightly said you, there are ordinary nuclear installations with two water circuits, the same as on our nuclear icebreakers.

            in! your owners designed boats in the 60s, and built the last in 2009.
            The type was named after the lead ship of the series, Nimitz, commissioned in 1975. A total of 10 aircraft carriers were built, including the latter, the George W. Bush, which was included in the fleet in 2009.
            at the same time read how many years they have been serving and how many times they upgrade ships of this size.

              Every day, you lick the heel’s owners at work, but I’m independent. What difference does it make when a ship is designed, you can replace the stuffing in it, but you haven’t done it with Petya yet. And from the same Nimits, you don’t need anything, as already noted, it’s only the barge on which the planes land, nothing more is required of it.

      To be more precise, it's not 4 ... but one and a half. In addition to "Peter", it is more or less likely that only "Nakhimov" will be restored, while Lazarev and Ushakov will go to waste, and the name "Admiral Ushakov" has long been borne by the destroyer of the northern fleet. As for deep modernization, I completely and completely agree with you, these handsome men need an upgrade and commissioning.

        Yes, "Ushakov" was already written off and the name was given to the destroyer "Fearless". But about half a year ago, "Zvezdochka" went to work for the restoration of the ship. And it seems that the necessary papers have been signed. Here with "Nakhimov" at Sevmash, not everything is clear to the end. The work is very expensive. And how many boats we need to "rivet" in the very near future.

            If a country positions itself as a "Great Maritime Power", then the arguments must be appropriate. For the Americans, these are aircraft carriers with a bunch of escort ships. If we oppose this with a purely coastal fleet, then all our statements about their power will be simply ridiculous.

      Granite is not needed there now. The rocket is large and this is the main disadvantage. Instead of them, "Caliber" is perfect, 150 cells (maybe a little less). And this makes this ship universal for all tasks, such as strikes against military targets. This is already our fist of influence.

        I agree with you, "Granite" is generally a great strangeness of a surface ship, tk. it was developed for the submarine, it has only a wet start and requires the submarine to be flooded with seawater before launch. :) And the weight, of course ... Maybe "Bramos" is better to put?

                        As far as I remember from the Theory of the Ship course, such tanks do not leave partially filled, since stability deteriorates in a square of the free surface area of ​​the liquid. Therefore, I don’t think that on the aircraft carrier there’s one oooooo big tank with aviation fuel from which kerosene is slowly pumped.

                        Well then, here is the data for barges:
                        In November 2005, Newport News, the only US nuclear carrier builder, received an order of $ 1.94 billion to reload reactors and refurbish the Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH) of the Carl Vinson CVN-70 nuclear carrier. This reconstruction is also called “mid-life repair,” since it is carried out after reaching 25 years of service, while the full service life of an American aircraft carrier is about 50 years.

                        "Carl Vinson" was accepted into the US Navy in 1982, by the time the repair is completed, which will last 3 years, its service life will be 26 years. Over the course of these three years, equipment will be modernized, repaired, maintained, and recharged, which will provide aircraft carrier service until the 2032, when it is scheduled to be decommissioned.

                        Karl Vinson is the third aircraft carrier of this type after Nimitz and Dwight Eisenhower, which is undergoing mid-life repairs. The works are designed for the 3 of the year, the return of the ship to service is expected at the beginning of the 2009.
                        4288x2848, 886k, Q5

                        The first aircraft carrier of the Nimitz type to undergo reloading and complex reconstruction was the lead ship. He docked in May 1998. During the comprehensive reconstruction, a significant part of the ship's structure, its systems and subsystems were repaired and modernized to ensure its adaptation to future changes in military doctrine and national defense policy. The amount of financing for the conversion equipment amounted to about 2.2 billion dollars. Five years took the development of the project and three years - its implementation.

                        This was the fifth reload of the reactor on American aircraft carriers (before that, four reloads were carried out on the CVN-65 Enterprise carrier: 10.1964-11.1965 reload, 1969-71 reload, main reload and modernization in Bremerton XNXN XNXN XNXN XNXN XN XN complete reconstruction and reloading in Newport News 1979 – 03.1982).
                        1050x750, 79k, Q4

                        The predecessor of Karl Vinson in the dock No. 11 of the Newport News shipyard was the CVN-69 Dwight Eisenzower aircraft carrier. 18 On October 2005, he left Norfolk, completing repairs after a test voyage (Post Shakedown Availability, PSA). A three-month repair at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard completed the long 4-year reconstruction that the aircraft carrier underwent in the middle of its 50-year service life.

                        A comprehensive reconstruction of the aircraft carrier began on 22 on May 2001, when he embarked on the dry dock of the Newport News shipyard.
                        Life Cycle of Non-Nuclear Aircraft Carriers

                        For aircraft carriers with a conventional power plant, an 18-month operational period is adopted, followed by a scheduled repair. Of the three consecutive operational cycles, in two repairs the 3 of the month continues and takes place at the mooring wall (without docking), and in the third cycle a one-year reconstruction is provided. Thus, non-nuclear aircraft carriers have an 6-year interval between dockings.

                        After approximately 30 years of service, the non-nuclear aircraft carrier undergoes a comprehensive reconstruction for the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for 2.5 years, after which it serves for about 15 more years. hi

              The Peter the Great (Order of the Nakhimov Nuclear Power Cruiser "Peter the Great") is the fourth and only third generation heavy nuclear missile cruiser (TARKR) in the 1144 Orlan project series. At 2011, this is the largest operating non-aircraft carrier strike combat ship in the world [source not specified 458 days].

              The main purpose is the destruction of enemy carrier groups. It is the flagship of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy.

              Designer - Northern Design Bureau.

              The cruiser was laid down in the 1986 year on the slipway of the Baltic Shipyard (when laying, it was called Kuibyshev, then - Yuri Andropov). April 25 1989 of the year launched. [1] Renamed to Peter the Great by presidential decree on April 22 (October 1? [2]) of the year 1992. [1] Joined the fleet in 1998. [1]

              Industrial enterprises carry out constant work on the cruiser, they allow for eleven years in a row to carry out trips to the sea without putting the ship in an average factory repair. The Central Design Bureau-designer self-relieved himself from work on the ship, considering them unprofitable. Prior to renaming, Peter the Great wore the tail number 183, now the tail number is 099.
              Then, following your logic, what is the age of aircraft carriers such as "Nimitz" laid back in 1968, and for some reason they are in service.
              And I repeat once again "" Peter the Great "(the Order of Nakhimov atomic cruiser" Peter the Great ") is the fourth and the only heavy nuclear missile cruiser (TARKR) of the third generation from the series of Project 1144" Orlan "in service. At 2011, it is the world's largest operational non-carrier strike attack ship.

                When the designer finished conjuring the Kuhlmann, he invested in his brainchild the most modern solutions that time. It is then determined what the future ship will be. If in your long-term construction, for example, in 20 years, it leads to the appearance of a modern ship, then my ship will remain at the same level as at the exit from the design bureau. Although some details are being upgraded at the factory. So, for example, on Soviet aircraft carriers, equipment was changed to more modern equipment right at the outfitting wall. However, this is the exception rather than the rule.

"Sharks" left to swim, subject to a good overhaul "for 15-20 years, is there any sense of" deep modernization. "It is much more correct, in my opinion, to carry out a good overhaul and solve the main problem of the" Sharks "- the lack of main weapons. adapt the available systems - "Bulava" or "Liner" (at the same time, the dimensions of the mine allow you to install an additional stage, which will increase the range and throw weight) or apply the liquid ICBM newly developed at the Makeev Design Bureau by adapting its control system to the existing one on the pr .941.

        I completely agree with you about the excuse. After all, the construction of the hull is no longer a small cost, especially since the boats of this project were probably created taking into account the subsequent modernization. It is not profitable for the Americans that we possess such a formidable weapon, because the utilization of the Sharks began with their submission, which means politics is involved here.

          the sailors of the DKBF at the same time wrote a saying about this, about the Iowa's entry into the Baltic Sea (pilots of the BF naval aviation told):
          "life was already x ... wa
          then "Iowa" came along ... "

      Iowa is an armored ship. Hence the longevity of its hull and superstructures. And in Molotovsk, even under Comrade Stalin, a battleship was laid down, surpassing all the then steamships. We completed only the central casemate part. The situation has changed. Funding for the construction has stopped. So this casemate unit was towed to the Black Sea and used as a target for combat torpedo firing of submariners. Direct hits from torpedoes did not penetrate her! One can, of course, say that the Soviet torpedoes of those years were not Mk 48. But the fact remains that the torpedo could not sink the ship.
      But the old people call "Parsley" "luminous". The ship is yes, beautiful, with good weapons. But he went overseas to visit Chavez - and for repairs. His service is not going so smoothly. However, like the "Kuzi".
      Ships with lightweight non-armored hulls cannot serve for decades. And thirty years is a term for them.

        so I regret that it was not booked more, but only the local booking was made! All displacement is "saved", and unreasonable economy in defense matters does not lead to good as a rule! Before the 2nd World War, the Brita built "tanks" of 3-5 tons of weight and with 20-mm cannons, but they were very nimble on the move, so what? :)) Then they did not know where to put them down, they were sick, because they were not good for what! :))

      Here is your answer to Orlan's single-handed battle: "Nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the 1144 Orlan type have no direct analogs abroad: the American ones have a Virginia-type displacement (11 tons) at 300. A Long Beach (2,5 tons) at 17500 , 1,5 times less.On Soviet nuclear-powered ships, the power plant includes two steam turbines with a capacity of up to 70000 hp each.In the standby version, the turbines receive steam from two automated steam boilers operating on fossil fuel.

      Although the cruiser "1144 Orlan" for several years were the best in the world ships of its class, the project cannot be considered successful. The 1144 Orlan was designed as a strike cruiser, a ship of excellence at sea. This task required a significantly more powerful and diverse weapon than the one that was installed. In order to withstand modern anti-ship missiles, aircraft guns and small-caliber bombs, the ship should have been equipped with at least minimal armor protection. Finally, the autonomy of the ship needed to be significantly increased. Of course, to fulfill such requirements while limiting the displacement of the 28 to thousands of tons is impossible, and the dimensions should have been increased at least twice. The real 1144 Orlan can handle any of the American post-war cruisers, but was completely defenseless against aircraft carrier formations or modernized American battleships like Iowa.

      However, there is also unverified information that NATO viewed the Soviet squadrons, led by the cruisers of the 1144 Orlan project, as very dangerous rivals for their aircraft carrier formations. In theoretical exercises to destroy such a squadron, groupings of four aircraft carriers were exhibited, of which only one was supposed to stay afloat. The air groups of three aircraft carriers were supposed to be almost completely lost. "Http://www.snariad.ru/ships/orlan/

        It’s complete nonsense, if only because it’s impossible to throw in here. Well, they are pulled into it with a large fuse of anti-ship missiles, and they are not able to fight off a massive salvo from any ship.
        And before aviation, he is generally defenseless.

          Well, for now, "defenseless against aviation" is of course you bent a little, hot, and anti-ship missiles ... so in the early 90s (from the moment it was put into operation) France only had "Exoset", and they had a radius of 40 km. Although one of course is very cool, I agree, but to me, a schoolboy, a military sailor-officer rubbed it :))

            So what will he do to the AWACS aircraft, which hangs at a distance of 400 km from the cruiser and gives the control center to fighters that, without peering out from behind the radio horizon, can, again, simply throw it over their heads?
            And the anti-ship missiles they have are much "longer".

    ".... There is not enough evidence to retrain the ex-defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov from a witness to an accused," said press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov recently. And in the meantime, 15 military veterans who have earned the right to decent medical care are queuing at ordinary clinics after the closure of the Kazan military hospital. The order to liquidate the oldest military hospital in Russia was given by Serdyukov at the request of the same Vasilyeva ... "now it is clear why the people do not want to give the right to arms.

    I didn't really like the article, I'll be honest! Rather a minus than a plus! A set of well-known information about the nomenclature of the cruiser's weapons and almost complete absence of information about the status of 3 other cruisers of the project today. And I would like to! :) There is not even a general analysis of what weapons could be used to re-equip and modernize these cruisers today and the expected range of combat missions in our today's military-political and geopolitical realities. There is no detailed comparison of its combat capabilities with the characteristics of the ships and formations of the fleet of a potential "our partner", i.e. Not given an idea of ​​its real combat capabilities today. And there is information that the "Granite" complex can potentially "swing" at the 625 km line.

    If they, all the remaining three do not restore, it is a betrayal! Whoever does not understand this is a traitor or a fool, when they tell me that it is easier and cheaper to build a new one, I laugh with this goat in my face, who have no idea about the construction of ships and about their modernization. It is impossible for Russia without the oceans, without demonstrating its own kind of surface serious ships! Especially in such a not calm time. Not one foreign ship will not be able to compete with him alone, in order to flood ORLAN they need to prepare a whole strategy. He is a loner, a true naval fighter, and for him there are no unsolvable tasks!
