Under the sign of the North Star. Warships in the Arctic

73


A place where a person without special protective equipment dies in a few minutes. This is not the surface of the moon or distant Mars. This is the beloved Arctic of all - a territory extending above 66 ° 33 ′ s. sh. (Arctic Circle) and favorably differing from the rest of the Earth by a negative average annual temperature. In this case, under the "special protective equipment" understand the most insulated clothing and indoor areas with a mandatory source of heat.

As you know, a man in his original form is able to spend several days behind the ship and calmly transfer the air temperature above + 50 ° C. But in the Arctic, such tricks will not work. This place is more dangerous than the Sahara and the Californian Death Valley, taken together, is one careless step in the frosty mist, and the cold will turn the brave fellow into a ram's horn. In the morning, the comrades will find only a stiff mummy with forever bent limbs.

“The country of icy horror” - this was how the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen described the Arctic after many years of expeditions in these parts.

An unavoidable obstacle to the development of these places is an endless winter night (the duration of the polar night depends on the latitude).
When the edge of the sun disk flashes again in the southeastern side of the sky, and the snowy landscape of the hills lights up with a soft pink light, the Holiday of the Sun is celebrated in Murmansk. Residents of Moscow and the Kuban do not understand why they are so happy in the thickened twilight of 300 thousands of lucky people - inhabitants of the world's largest city, built beyond the Arctic Circle.

The Arctic was not intended for human habitation. As if nature itself cursed this place, forever holding down the earth and the ocean with a layer of ice-resistant rock. Monotonous snowy landscape and endless night - among the polar explorers go mystical legends about the "white noise" and "call of the Polar Star". A strange mental disorder, known among the coast-dwellers as "meryarenie" - a person loses his mind and runs into the icy desert. According to legend, the unfortunate always run strictly north.

But no matter how harsh these northern territories are, they belong to us by right. Paraphrasing Admiral Essen: “We have no other waters. We will have to use these. ” And if so, the Russians had to master this unfit living area and learn to extract the maximum benefit from it.

The main treasure of the Arctic today is the Northern Sea Route (NSR) - a strategic transport route on the way from Europe to Asia; historically established national unified transport communication of Russia in the Arctic, stretching along the entire northern coast of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.

Fighting for the Arctic Ocean

The length of the sea borders of the Russian state - 38 808 kilometers! Of which 19 724 km pass along the coast of the Arctic Ocean: the Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas. Year-round navigation without icebreakers is possible only in the Barents Sea, off the coast of the Kola Peninsula - where the warm Gulf Stream warms the water and air, driving the ice far to the north. And then begins the “country of icy horror” - all ports of the Northern Sea Route, with the exception of Murmansk, work on 2-4 months of the year - during the summer-autumn navigation.

An obligatory attribute is the icebreaker fleet - contrary to the widespread statement about “the longest sea frontiers”, Russia de facto is the owner of the longest ice borders in the world. Multimeter pack ice covers us from the north direction more reliably than any Coast Guard and navy. With all the advantages and disadvantages.

The unique Arctic campaign of warships of the North fleetheld in September of the outgoing year, still raises mixed opinions: domestic and foreign analysts have expressed doubts about the advisability of the presence of the Peter the Great nuclear missile cruiser in high latitudes. To the question of whether such operations were previously conducted using surface warships, the former commander of the 5th Mediterranean Operational Squadron, the head of the Main Staff of the Navy, Admiral Valentin Selivanov answered directly:

No, we had nothing to do with it - just waste time and money. Ships go to sea or to combat training - the closer their range, the more economical and easier it is, or to combat service in the area of ​​potential contact with the enemy. On the Northern Sea Route, the enemy never existed. We had no reason to send ships there.


TARKR "Peter the Great" was created as a hunter for the convoys and ship groups of the enemy, but it is absolutely impossible to imagine the US Navy aircraft carrier group in the Kara Sea. First, for her there are no tasks. Secondly, the US surface fleet is categorically not adapted for operations in the Arctic.

The last time an enemy appeared in these waters during World War II was in August 1942, the heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer broke through to the Kara Sea. As a result, the raider was unable to catch up with the convoy on the way to the Velkitsky Strait - when Soviet ships and icebreakers crawled at 5 speed knots., The Germans hardly gave out 1-2 knots. Arctic nature turned the sea battle into a farce.



After wandering around the Kara Sea, the cruiser sank the icebreaking ship Sibiryakov in an unequal battle, unsuccessfully fired at the port of Dickson and retreated. The Germans did not dare to risk a super-ship for such useless results.
But that was then. Now things are different.

The uniqueness of the Arctic campaign 2013 of the year was that all the nuclear surface ships of Russia (the Navy cruiser and four icebreakers of Rosatomflot) participated in the operation.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to the view of the icebreakers “Yamal”, “Taimyr”, “Vaigach” and “50 Years of Victory” wading through the ice - power that knows no boundaries! These magnificent cars will pass where any other ship will get stuck forever and will be crushed under the onslaught of heavy ice. In 2013, the icebreaker “50 Years of Victory” celebrated a fantastic anniversary - it reached the North Pole for the hundredth time. These ships have unlimited autonomy for fuel reserves, a long-term supply of food on board, carry aircraft, the latest navigation and communication systems, and have the ability to destroy ice more than 2,5 meters thick. The true rulers of the Arctic - they are able to penetrate into any area of ​​this icy world.


"Taimyr" and "Vaigach". Handsome!

However, four icebreakers are a reason to think. To escort three warships and seven support vessels (TARKR Peter the Great, landing ships Kondopoga and Olenegorsky Miner, rescue tugs, medium sea transport and tanker) - the entire icebreaking fleet of Russia was needed to lead such a caravan to the coast of the Novosibirsk Islands ! Given that the campaign was carried out in the ideal time of year - the beginning of September, the height of navigation. When daytime air temperatures exceed 0 ° С, and the southern edge of pack ice moves far to the North.

No doubt, in the last decade, sailors have noted the simplification of the ice situation - at the beginning of the XXI century there were precedents when during a single navigation of the Northern Sea Route single ships passed without icebreaker escort. Pictures from space confirm the situation - the area of ​​ice in the Arctic has noticeably decreased.

But ... it was only to turn from the usual route - take a little to the north, in the direction of Fr. The boiler room (the Novosibirsk Islands archipelago), - and immediately needed the help of four nuclear-powered icebreakers!







Naive Canadians still hope that the melting of the Arctic ice will become irreversible - even a little bit, and the north-western passage in high latitudes along the northern coast of Canada will open. Direct competitor of the Russian SMP!

Hell no. The myth of global warming is a global deception - unscrupulous scientists and experts who exploit this hypothesis are not inclined to tell the whole truth. The amount of ice in the Arctic has really decreased. But at the same time, the ice shell of Antarctica, on the contrary, increased in thickness and size. The cycle of substances in nature!

It seems that we are dealing with some unexplored cyclic process between the northern and southern hemisphere - it is possible that in a few decades the Arctic will begin to drag on with ice again. Sweet dreams of banana palms on Franz Josef Land and arguments in the form of oil reserves on the Arctic shelf (100% evidence that lush tropical forests grew millions of years ago) should not lead the average man astray. It was hundreds of millions of years ago. And it will not happen again very soon.

We live in the coldest epoch in stories Land - all the fault of Antarctica. If on the place of ice-covered land in that place there was the Southern Ocean, then the climate on Earth would be fundamentally different. Antarctica is cooling the Earth, serving as an excellent reflector of sunlight and the storage of huge stocks of ice. Alas, we will not see any palm trees in high latitudes until this damned “refrigerator” crawls to another place, obeying the eternal movement of lithospheric plates.

In the meantime ... ships make their way through the cold water along the coast of Russia. The icebreaker leads a caravan - despite the broken, discharged ice, the crew activates the air wash system (POU - is used to reduce the friction of ice on the hull). This allows you to maximize the channel astern of the icebreaker and to facilitate the movement of ships and vessels in the wake of a wake. Without knowledge of such subtleties in the northern seas can not survive.

The use of a squadron of surface warships in the Arctic presents considerable difficulties: the ships are constrained in maneuver. Such an unpleasant process as the icing will be an additional gift for trespassers of the northern waters. A terrible thing, during bad weather and a storm, it can in two accounts deactivate a ship, chaining all launchers, tools and radar with indestructible chains. Polar night, changeable weather, disgusting visibility - the rule rather than the exception for those latitudes. Obviously, even with assistance, in the form of nuclear-powered icebreakers, cruisers and destroyers (not to mention the Mistral) have absolutely nothing to do in the Arctic.

And yet there is single class warshipsable to challenge the primacy of nuclear-powered icebreakers in the fight for the title of Master of the Arctic.


The Nautilus was the first ship to reach the North Pole, 3 August 1958.

Black sleek submarines that rush to the North Pole without encountering any resistance. Nuclear submarines do not pay attention to the field of impassable pack ice, they are not afraid of the most severe frosts and polar blizzards. They do not suffer from icing and poor visibility. They are powerful, fast and able to navigate the Arctic Ocean at any time of the year.

Ice, on the contrary, is an ideal cover and protection for them - no aircraft can set up a sonar buoy or drop a torpedo. And no anti-submarine ship will be able to keep up with the submarine in those latitudes - it will firmly get stuck in the ice, without the ability to apply its weapon.

If necessary, the underwater acoustics will prompt the crew for the presence of ice-hole or ice of suitable thickness: the submarine will gently press against the inner surface of the ice, blow through the tanks and - voila! - scattering blocks of broken ice, rises to the surface. In this sense, the giant “Shark” was the most spectacular: thanks to its size, the heavy SSBN of 941 Ave could destroy the ice of two meters thick with its cabin!

    And yet there is only one class of warships capable of challenging the primacy of atomic icebreakers in the fight for the title of Master of the Arctic.

    Not just a class in itself, but with a perfect torpedo weapon, equipped with excellent sonar countermeasures, working with integrated lighting systems for underwater and surface situations, which are served by professionals.

    If this is not the case, but the opposing side has it, then in case of conflict the submarine turns into a mass grave.

    As you know, a person in its original form is able to spend several days overboard and calmly transfer air temperatures above + 50 ° C.

    Not at all. Transfer plus 50 only for a short period of time. The body temperature will reach 42 degrees, the protein will collapse and the funeral for mom. Now, about the fact that "a man in his original form is able to spend several days outside the ship." During the course of rendering assistance to an emergency nuclear submarine, we were given a chipboard for literature, among which was a book on human survival in an extreme environment (the Nazis made such books mocking our prisoners of war). There was a table of survival time as a function of temperature (in clothing and in its original form, in the presence of currents and food). I remember even then it struck me how at a water temperature of plus 30 degrees, the time a person can stay in it can be quite limited. The answer is simple, hypothermia occurs at a body temperature of plus 33 degrees, a little lower, and again a funeral. So if you paddle in its "original form" warming yourself up from the inside, then the marathon runner can survive in the warm Mediterranean Sea for several days, but this will be the exception rather than the rule.

        Not at all for long. Stone, unlike the human body, does not have a metabolism and does not heat up by itself. Nevertheless, if you lie in the shade and drink a soda, and even turn on the air conditioning, this is one. And if at plus 50 to run leisurely 3 km, then there will be units of survivors. The EMNIP marathon in Copenhagen is indicative when, due to the 30-degree heat, a couple dozen well-trained athletes finished at the cemetery. Last year, a dozen in a coma at a TLV marathon, one in a cemetery, and this at a temperature of only 28 degrees.

        I was taught this not by the Germans, but in our Soviet Black Sea Fleet, teaching me a military specialty. During exercises in the Black Sea to rescue the crew of a submarine in a depressurized compartment, it usually turned out that the crew conditionally died
        a) from a lack of oxygen,
        b) from hypothermia
        even before we had time to get to the place from Sevastopol. By the way, as you know, they were not naked in the compartment ...
        I understand that the Russian proverb says that there are more frostbite than scalded bones and it doesn’t break bones, but I would not neglect the temperature of plus 50. No T-shirt will save you and you won’t have enough water to drink - heat stroke however.

                Do not bend. Drive to the Arava Valley in the summer with a bottle, there are only about 40. I guarantee a heat stroke by the evening despite the t-shirt. About comfortable feeling at +50 you specifically turned down. This is a very dangerous temperature in the shade.

                  The surviving sailors kept on the water. The third wave of low-level bombers shot at the sailors and continued to bomb the destroyer Svobodny, which was rescuing the crews of sunken ships from the water. A strong explosion of depth charges took place on it. At 18 hours 35 minutes, the ship began to quickly sink into the water ...I had to swim in cold water for one day, for two, the last sailor was picked up only on the fourth day. In total, the arrived boats were able to pick up 123 people from the water. 692 died.

                        No, it will not. In a heat of 30 degrees, you need to consume a liter per hour. Any IDF soldier knows this. At 50 degrees, no sweating is enough to cool the body to a safe temperature - "you can't take that much water and drink it." And if the humidity is still about 80%, then sweating generally rests since evaporation is very weak.

                        In traditional Russian steam baths, they are steamed with wet steam with a moisture content of up to 60-70% at a temperature of 50-60 degrees and certainly with a broom.

You will go into the washbasin, soak a T-shirt, on yourself and again on the street (mounted a diesel power station at the hospital) for some time you feel quite comfortable. By the way, in wet clothes, you can go out in the sun and catch a cold (water evaporates from the clothes and draws heat out of the body).
                        We lived in a module, with air conditioning. But with the air conditioner turned on, the room was over 30. It was practiced to wet a sheet under the tap, and then she should take cover. The sheet dried out in about 40 minutes. Well, it’s at night, but in the afternoon it’s already managed. By the way, when you enter a room from the street, the body sometimes got goosebumps - it seemed that it was cold (I remind you that the room is under 30).

                        I don’t want to sound boring, but there is no such thing as "air temperature in the sun." For two reasons:
                        1. Place the thermometer in the sun and you will not measure the temperature of glass or thermocouples exposed to solar radiation. Indications will not be related to air temperature. For example a solar boiler. On a sunny day, at an air temperature of 20 degrees, the water easily heats up to +60.
                        2. Air has poor thermal conductivity and its temperature in the shade where the thermometer is installed and side by side "in the sun" is practically the same.

                        In the Arava valley, the number of flies is not real - clouds. In the "barracks" a blue lamp also helps a plastic bag with water. These flies bring the greatest harm to farmland. They fight them with an interesting method. They raise sterile males and release millions of these flies from the plane. Of course, they do not leave a legacy and the population of these parasites is greatly reduced.

If at least one is left, she won’t be able to sleep: even if she wraps herself in a sheet with her head, she’ll surely find a hole, crawl under the sheet and run around the body. In addition, they are carriers of infection: a fly can fly into the toilet, and then into the kitchen and go over the bread. As a result, hepatitis or typhoid fever. He was in parts where up to 98% of all personnel had these diseases.

                        By temperature, I can add that in the evening, standing on the street, if you turn your head in one direction, and then in the other, then with air it burns first one cheek, then the other. Like in the steam room. This is me about the same Jalalobad.
                        In August (1983), three of the soldiers died of heat in DSB.

                        At 50 degrees, no sweating is enough to cool the body to a safe temperature - "you can't take that much water and drink it." And if the humidity is still about 80%, then sweating generally rests since evaporation is very weak.

                        Nothing like this

                        A lot of men were without life jackets. The kapok life jacket is designed with a space in the back. Those who had life jackets that were injured, you could put your arm through that space and pull them up on your hip and keep them out of the water. And the men were very good about doing this. Further more, those with jackets supported men without jackets.

                        ... The second night, which was Monday night, we had all the men put their arms through the life jacket of the man in front of him and we made a big mass so we could stay together. We kept the wounded and those who were sickest in the center of the pack and that was my territory. Some of the men could doze off and sleep for a few minutes. The next day we found a life ring. I could put one very sick man across it to support him.

                        The water in that part of the Pacific was warm and good for swimming. But body temperature is over 98 and when you immerse someone up to their chin in that water for a couple of days, you're going to chill him down. So at night we would tie everyone close together to stay warm. But they still had severe chills which led to fever and delirium. On Tuesday night some guy began yelling, 'There's a Jap here and he's trying to kill me.' And then everybody started to fight. They were totally out of their minds. A lot of men were killed that night. A lot of men drowned. Overnight everybody untied themselves and got scattered in all directions. But you couldn't blame the men. It was mass hysteria. You became wary of everyone. Till daylight came, you weren't sure. When we got back together the next day there were a hell of a lot fewer.

                        They lasted in the water for 110 hours.

                        The interior is usually covered with skins, sometimes the walls are covered with skins. For heating the home and its additional lighting, pans are used. As a result of heating, the inner surfaces of the walls melt, but the walls do not melt, since snow easily removes excess heat outside the hut. Therefore, in a hut, a temperature comfortable for human life can be maintained. In addition, the snow hut absorbs excess moisture from the inside, resulting in a fairly dry hut.

                        These people died in the open sun, under serious physical. loads, had heart disease, etc. (or a selective combination of all of the above). In the usual case, having shade and water - plus 30 is not heat. It is a paradise.

                    By the way, there is a curious moment in Buchheim's "Boat" (along with the second one):
                    - Probably, such things can only be done with children because they, as they call it, are not yet mature enough. They have no obligations to anyone. Of the serious troubles, almost always only officers come out alive. Who have wives and children! It's funny Once we picked sailors from a sunken destroyer - one of ours - dragged from the water. We arrived there two hours after he went to the bottom, which in such cases is considered very fast. It was summer, and the water was not very cold. But most young people dangled in their life jackets - already choked. They simply surrendered, hung their noses in the literal sense of the word, although the excitement at sea was only between medium and stormy. Only aged people fought. One of them - he was over forty, he was seriously injured - and he survived despite the fact that he had lost a lot of blood. But eighteen years old, without a single scratch - no.

                    The old man is silent for a moment, obviously, looking for the right words to summarize what has been said. Then:

                    - Seniors, as a rule, survive - children are likely to surrender.

                    The chef who appeared gives me a bewildered look. The commander continues:

                    - In fact, we must be able to manage a much smaller number of people. I often dream of a boat that would require a team of two or three people. Exactly like in an airplane. In fact, the main reason all these people gathered here on board the boat is because of the design flaws. Most team members perform purely mechanical functions. They are only links filling in the gaps left by designers in the chain of mechanisms. It can hardly be called fighters of people who open and close valves, or switch circuit breakers. I can’t listen to the commander of the submarine fleet trying to inspire everyone with the advertising slogan: “Attack! Win! Destroy! ”Complete nonsense. Who is attacking? Commander and no one else. Sailors do not even see the enemy.

    Five countries that are located on the ring of the Arctic Ocean, namely: USA, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Russia. The stakes are great:
    The Arctic Circle covers an area of ​​21 million square kilometers of land and 13 million square kilometers of mostly ice-covered sea surface. For comparison, the total land area of ​​India is 3,3 million square kilometers.
    According to estimates, the region may have more than 40% of modern global oil and gas reserves. There may also be significant reserves of coal, zinc and silver. Global warming leads to melting ice, and even if this process takes a limited period of time, commercial use of these resources becomes possible.

    Russia has already applied to the UN to expand its economic zone, but was refused "due to insufficient evidence." Russia planted a flag on the bottom of the ocean at the North Pole In 2007, a Russian expedition led by Russia's most famous explorer, Artur Chilingarov, conducted research on the ocean floor near the North Pole and planted a Russian flag there.
    "The Arctic belongs to Russia," Chilingarov said earlier. "We must prove that the North Pole is an extension of the Russian coastal shelf." Russia claims that the seamount, known as the Lomonosov Ridge, is an extension of Russian territory, and in response to Chilingarov's expedition, Canada has doubled funding for cartographic research in the Arctic to $ 40 billion, according to Western media. In addition, Canada plans to open an Arctic military training center in Resolute Bay for low-temperature training, a deep-water port on Baffin Island, and build a fleet of patrol ships to guard northern waters.
    In the West, they fear that Russia seeks to expand its control over energy resources bypassing international agreements. In particular, the West is concerned about the presence of Russian atomic icebreakers in the Arctic, which outnumber British and American ships, which are not equipped with nuclear facilities, writes the Daily Telegraph.

    Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Russian Center for Military Forecasting and author of the article "Battle for the Arctic. An undeclared war for resources is already underway," does not exclude that the struggle for the Arctic shelf is fraught with serious conflicts. Melting snow can make navigation in the North easier and open up new transport routes.
    In turn, the main Arctic highway of Russia - the Northern Sea Route (historically the Northeast Passage), according to estimates by Harvard climatologist Robert Corell, by 2050 year, 100 may be opened instead of the current 20 days in a year.
    Now Canadians and Americans are arguing about who owns the Northwest Passage, because it can reduce travel time by 3-4 weeks. In 2007, the Northwest Passage off the coast of North America suddenly became navigable: an unprecedented melting of glaciers was observed in the region.
    The passage is considered the shortest sea route from Europe to Asia, and, at first glance, promises a huge reduction in transportation costs. Currently, five states with direct access to the Arctic Ocean are actively fighting for control of the Arctic - Russia, Canada, the USA, Norway and Denmark.
    In total, more than 20 states have declared their desire to conduct development of the Arctic shelf.

    Thank you very much for the article, I waited a long time for something like that.
    It seems that we are dealing with some unexplored cyclic process between the northern and southern hemisphere - it is possible that in a few decades the Arctic will begin to drag on with ice again. Sweet dreams of banana palms on Franz Josef Land and arguments in the form of oil reserves on the Arctic shelf (100% evidence that lush tropical forests grew millions of years ago) should not lead the average man astray. It was hundreds of millions of years ago. And it will not happen again very soon.
    That year the autumn weather
    It was a long time in the yard,
    Winters waited, nature waited.
    Snow fell only in January
    On the third night.

    Maybe we need to think about and build anti-submarine ships of the heavy icebreaker type with underwater launch of torpedoes, because not only our submarines get there. In addition, the "struggle" for the Arctic is not joking.
