Admiral Nakhimov cruiser trials are nearing completion

Heavy nuclear missile The cruiser (tarkar) Admiral Nakhimov is entering the home stretch, the ship has embarked on the final stage of its factory sea trials. This was reported by the press service of the Northern Fleet. fleet.

The cruiser's first stage of sea trials took place last year in the White Sea, lasting approximately a month. The ship set sail in mid-August, and by mid-September, it was back at Sevmash's outfitting yard to address any identified deficiencies. Now, eight months later, the Admiral Nakhimov is back on trial.

There are no specifics regarding the cruiser yet. After the factory trials, state trials are scheduled to begin, but no one knows yet what will happen this time. It's possible that one set of trials will gradually transition into another, or perhaps the cruiser will return to Sevmash.

As previously reported, the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov underwent a major overhaul and modernization, which included a complete overhaul of its armament and the upgrade of several systems. Preliminary reports, as there is no official confirmation, indicate that the ship received 80 UKSK slots for Kalibr and Onyx cruise missiles, as well as Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, 92 (probably) S-300FM air defense missile silos, and 20 533mm torpedoes or Vodopad anti-submarine missiles. This means the cruiser's ammunition complement will total 192 cruise, anti-ship, anti-aircraft, and anti-submarine guided missiles.

[alexboguslavski]

Just like the Death Star from Star Wars.

"Preliminary, since there is no official confirmation of this, the ship received 80 UKSK cells for Kalibr and Onyx cruise missiles, as well as Zircon hypersonic missiles, 92 (probably) S-300FM air defense missile silos and 20 533-mm torpedoes or Vodopad anti-submarine missiles, i.e. the TARKR's ammunition complement will be 192 cruise, anti-ship, anti-aircraft guided and anti-submarine guided missiles."

I wonder what they're planning to do to fend off the BECs? Or will everything fall to the security escort?

[Murmur 55]

alexboguslavski And how will the escort fight back? And who will be part of that escort?

[TermNachTer]

We've already talked about the unmanned aerial vehicles (BAKs) in the Barents Sea. They haven't yet come up with one that can operate in fresh weather. And the news, as always here, is a bit stale. It started testing yesterday – the adversaries from "X" reported it.

[vitaliy20091959]

Have you seen back-up ships even in a force 6 storm? And this cruiser is not for the outskirts, it is against the main enemies, it is a masterpiece of Soviet military shipbuilding thought, just like our submarines.

I suspect this wasn't part of the upgrade, because when they started, no one even knew what a UAV was. This ship has the advantage of being hard to damage, its sides are armored, and it has a self-defense system, but it'll have to be outfitted with several dozen machine-gun turrets.

[Orange Bigg]

The cruiser in its current form is impressive, but with all due respect, it's only good for the conflict conditions of the 80s. In today's information age, it's completely exposed. A potential drone swarm attack could pose problems. The air defense ammo supply could quickly run out if there are a lot of UAVs. Firing S-300FM SAM missiles at a swarm of drones is a bit of a stretch. Ukraine, for example, shows how quickly Patriot SAMs targeting UAVs run out of ammo. A ship would have to return to base to replenish its air defense ammo, which would take a long time and without cover if all its ammo is expended. And then there's the danger of those same unmanned aerial vehicles. The cruiser is good, but it seems its time has passed.

[SAG]

The cruiser is good, but it seems its time has passed.

When the West develops zircon analogues, we'll be able to write like this. For now, the era of American aircraft carriers is over.

And a possible drone swarm attack could cause problems.

Where have you ever seen military action without problems? Or any activity for that matter...
It is excellent for chasing American AUGs across all the oceans.

[vitaliy20091959]

A UAV over land is low speed, but not at all over the sea. Yes, the altitude is low and over the sea, either you're using an anti-aircraft missile system or something like the Onyx, or even worse, but warships have anti-drone weapons. At 5 miles from the enemy, fearing these sorts of Fierce or Bayraktars is ridiculous. These things, which are good on land, are completely ineffective at sea to destroy an American Avug.

In my opinion, given the financial shortage, it would have been more expedient to lay down and build the Project 22350 frigates "A. Gorshkov" rather than to cut up the state budget, as with "A. Kuznetsov".
However, as V. Vysotsky said: The giraffe is big, he knows better.

If they've been waiting years for propulsion systems for the frigate series already laid down, where would they come from for an additional series? It's not all about funding.

Ejecting flour toward the BEC solves all the problems. 😀 Simple, effective, and inexpensive. The BEC gets stuck in the dough, loses its speed, and all you have to do is shoot it slowly, like at a shooting gallery. It's just a shame you can't use the dough after using up the flour, but that can be addressed.

If we recall the Second World War, there was an episode of a battle between the German raider "Kormoran" and the Australian cruiser "Sydney", in which both sank, but most of the Kormoran's crew was able to escape, albeit through captivity in Australia, while no one from the Sydney's crew survived.
The raider disguised itself as merchant ships, even once as the Soviet vessel Vyacheslav Molotov, but was heavily armed:

Artillery 6 × 150 mm
1 × 75-mm
Anti-aircraft artillery 4 × 40 mm
2 × 37-mm
5 × 20-mm
Mine and torpedo armament of 6 TA
390 minutes
small boat
Aviation group 2 aircraft Arado Ar 196

What prevents the carrier of the BEKs from being disguised as a tanker or a bulk carrier?

[SAG]

Let's put aside the fact that this carrier is guaranteed to be destroyed after a dubious attack. You probably know where you can recruit a whole team of kamikazes who know how to operate a tanker. Let's even hope they're lucky and the open sea conditions are favorable for launching backups at the right moment.
But what makes you think this tanker will be allowed to approach within launch range? If such a huge machine is closing in and not responding by radio, and our admiral is so short-sighted and humane as to decide not to destroy this target, what could prevent them from going full speed ahead and breaking the distance with a nuclear power plant?

[Ivanhoe]

Yes, behold, why do you have foresight and new flashlights - BEK, UAV, submarine drone, etc.

[Murmur 55]

Sergey39 The question is that all of our warships were designed and built before the advent of the IBCs, and therefore, detection systems and weapons against SUCH a threat were not included, which is why such questions and comments arise.

[alexoff]

Boats are an easier target than cruise missiles and torpedoes. No boats can approach the American boats designed under Grandpa Brezhnev. And the fact that ours can approach them raises questions for the naval commanders about how they managed it all.

[solar]

No boats can sail up to the American tubs designed under Grandfather Brezhnev.

Destroyer Cole disagrees with you.

[alexoff]

The first and last one, it was in port loading fuel when there was no combat. After that, there were only unsuccessful attacks for 26 years. And what about us?

[solar]

Yes, after that the Americans took measures against such attacks in the port.

[alexoff]

We haven't learned from either our own or others' experiences. Just recently, a border guard boat was hit by a missile near the Crimean bridge, though you'd think there would have been masts there long ago to spot enemy fire ships 30 kilometers away, and drone operators in some copter or other could quickly load a dozen drones onto each boat. I'm not even suggesting that they could have installed turrets along the bridge and sent their boats around unmanned; there should have been line-of-sight communication. But that's apparently too high-tech.

The admiral arrived on board the ship for an inspection. He entered the commander's cabin:
- Pour it, commander!
He poured some. They sat, drank, ate, and chatted about naval life.
About three hours later the admiral says:
- Well, breadwinner, thank you. You've made me happy.
He left. On the second day, at headquarters, during a debriefing, the Admiral delivers a report on the results of the inspection:
— During the combat readiness inspection of the destroyer Nastyrny, the following issues were identified. In the engine room...
And he started listing! It's bad there, there's dirt, there's water under the floorboards... The commander sits there, red-faced, as expected.
He's worried. After the report, when they've already given him a good beating, he approaches the admiral:
— Comrade Admiral, may I address you?
- Go ahead, commander.
"I understand, an inspection is an inspection. I have no complaints. All your comments are on point. Just answer one question: who snitched? After all, you sat in my cabin during the entire inspection."
The admiral pats the commander on the shoulder:
"You're naive, son! I commanded this destroyer 20 years ago. Do you really think anything has changed since then?"

The internet says they installed six Pantsir-M mounts instead of the daggers, but the video shows machine guns in addition to the Pantsirs, so it seems this was an unscheduled upgrade. A total of 12 close-in air defense mounts isn't so bad.

20 533mm torpedoes or Vodopad anti-submarine missiles

Clarification: instead of the Soviet Vodopad ASW missiles, launched from special launchers based on 533-mm torpedo tubes, Otvet ASW missiles, launched from UKSK, will be used.
And instead of 533 torpedo tubes, Paket-NK anti-torpedo launchers will most likely be installed.

[esoteric]

But a certain Trump wants to build battleships in the 21st century.

Trump's position is understandable. China is gradually building a massive navy to protect its enormous merchant fleet. If this merchant fleet is slightly democratized, China will be doomed. It won't survive without trade and exports. That's why China is building a massive navy armada to protect its merchant fleet from the US.
Trump will naturally have to participate in this arms race to maintain at least parity, and at most, superiority.
Naturally, no one is interested in the decrepit Russian fleet of Soviet design. In peacetime, it's needed to boost national pride and fuel jingoistic, patriotic slogans like, "One salvo from us will blow an American aircraft carrier to hell!"
In wartime, it's best to keep it hidden. A single Norwegian missile is enough, and such a massive vessel would drag a huge number of our sailors to the bottom.

We need the most effective fleet possible. Currently, the Black Sea Fleet isn't as effective in combat as it should be. It's simply hidden. It only assembles into a group during a strike, a strike on the coast, or more precisely, on land targets. But strategic aviation and ground-based systems are more than capable of achieving this, not to mention the massive drone force. Consequently, the fleet plays a secondary role in land strikes and is incapable of preventing enemy strikes from the sea (it doesn't destroy the enemy's mosquito fleet) or from the air on our land, and it also doesn't strike enemy coastal targets or complexes.

[seamen2]

*The Black Sea Fleet is currently not maximally effective in combat conditions; it is simply hidden*

The fleet's problem is the lack of proper detection and targeting systems. They're being knocked out by drones (patrol ships), I see it with my own eyes sometimes. Sailors are firing back with machine guns.
At the same time, our merchant fleet is completely unprotected right now. We see this in the attacks on merchant ships at anchor and at sea.

[Sokolov_Vladimir]

One old lady said, tell me, as a specialist, could the NSM have hit the underwater part?
The mast is intact, below are the AK-630 mounts, and below that is the crew's mess hall—I'm talking about a place where the damage isn't visible. There are no longitudinal bulkheads on the cruiser, so it would have been obvious from any side that a racket had hit, no matter where it hit. And the cruiser sank not from a hole, but from a fire, because it burned for 12 hours, meaning the underwater section is also intact.

[Sokolov_Vladimir]

It was sunk by an NSN anti-ship missile donated by Norway.

The cause is two horizontal flues that heat the waste heat recovery boiler in the forward engine room. One explosion occurred above the crew mess hall in that same horizontal flue on the upper deck. The crew mess hall is comprised of four portholes beneath the AK-630 gun mounts, and even lower, directly beneath the crew mess hall, is the site of the second explosion and that same black crater on board from the fire. That same horizontal flue also runs there. The spare waste heat recovery boiler isn't behind the funnel, as I previously wrote without understanding, but much closer to the explosion site. It's somewhere under the funnel. Two explosions, one above the other, on the same vertical line. The waste heat recovery boiler is at the epicenter of the explosions. The funnel and the flue can be accessed from the crane platform, or from inside the ship. The flue is very low in the funnel, and it's easy to climb into. Then you walk upright along the flue, plant two bombs, and the upper branch of the flue runs along the upper deck. The lower branch runs between the engine rooms. Just before the highest mast or superstructure, the flue turns, exits onto the upper deck, and returns to the funnel. The crane platform, from where you can enter the funnel, is a dead zone; you can't see who's there, this has been verified several times. And yes, the fire burned out the stabilizer niches, creating two holes, flooding two engine rooms, which is why the ship is sinking.

[alexboguslavski]

Everything is fine, but the name is confusing. Sailors are a superstitious lot. Legend has it that Admiral Nakhimov, before the fleet was scuttled in Sevastopol, said as he disembarked that he would never set foot on deck again. And after being fatally wounded, in his delirium, he called himself a "bad admiral" and asked that ships not be named after him.

What do we have?

The first ship to sink bearing Nakhimov's name was a cargo vessel built in Odessa.

At the time of the tragedy, the ship was carrying grain to Turkey, but a sudden storm arose, causing the ship to sink within minutes near the Bosphorus. The crew perished. The ship sank in 1895. It had been launched only two years before the tragedy.

The second ship to sink was the cruiser Admiral Nakhimov. The tragedy occurred during the Battle of Tsushima. The battleship suffered serious damage, but remained afloat.

The Japanese, who had surrounded the ship, offered the crew the chance to surrender. The captain forced the crew into the lifeboats. He himself, intending to sink with his ship, opened the seacocks.
Water gushed over the battleship.
However, a mystical turn of events saved the Nakhimov's captain. Apparently, fate had not intended for him to die at this precise moment, so a torrent of water swept him from the deck into the sea, and the ship itself sank into the depths.
But without the captain.

The third Admiral Nakhimov also had a tragic fate. Construction began in 1912, but it was never completed.

The White Guards attempted to tow the unfinished cruiser to Odessa, but were unable to do so. The ship ran aground, where it remained for a long time. It was only completed under the Soviet Union, renamed "Chervona Ukraina" just in case. However, the cruiser remained the unfortunate Nakhimov—in November 1941, it sank after a direct hit from a Nazi air strike.

The fourth Admiral Nakhimov, built in the 1950s, had to be sunk due to radioactive contamination of the ship's bottom during testing of an underwater (depth) atomic bomb.

The fate of the fifth Nakhimov was also tragic. Built for scientific research, the vessel sank at its berth in 1973. Again, some mystical event likely played a role: the ship became heavily iced over the winter, causing it to suddenly capsize.

Despite the proximity to shore, half the ship's crew was not saved. They drowned literally next to the pier where they could have escaped.

The sixth Admiral Nakhimov also didn't stay afloat for long. It was built in 1971.
During exercises in 1986, the ship collided with a submarine. Amazingly, despite the hole, the ship did not sink and instead made it back to base.
Interestingly, they decided not to repair it because it was impractical, so after 6 years they couldn’t think of anything better than to sell it abroad for scrap metal.

That same year, a tragedy occurred involving the Admiral Nakhimov, a liner carrying a large number of tourists. While en route from Novorossiysk to Sochi, the liner collided with a bulk carrier.

The breach caused water to flood onto the vessel, which sank within eight minutes.
423 people drowned – both tourists and members of the ship’s crew.
The captain of the Nakhimov remained safe and sound, which is incredibly lucky for a man who can't swim.


The eighth and final tragedy occurred with the tugboat Admiral Nakhimov in 2003.
The ship suddenly capsized and sank.
There was no storm that day.
There were no drowned people - a passing ship took on board all who found themselves in the water.

[Roman 11]

As previously reported, the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov underwent a major overhaul and modernization.
Even back in the day, Japanese carrier-based pilots used to say that there were three most useless things in the world: the Egyptian pyramids, the Great Wall of China, and the battleship Yamato.

It will be visible to everyone from afar - the object of a "driven hunt". What's going on with the collection and processing of information? A phased array radar like Polimenta+ hasn't been created, everything is still rotating. It won't be able to counter swarms/wolf packs - warfare has now become massive and decentralized. The target is certainly not simple and insurmountable for small fleets, but that's only if it's done by order and at a great distance from coastal countermeasures. The picture is for ego-pleasing, but in case of failure, so will the ego.
