The cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" returned to sea after recovery

Heavy Aircraft Cruiser (TAVKR) "Admiral fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov ”returned to the landfill in the Barents Sea, completing the planned restoration of technical readiness.

“For several days, the crew of the TAVKR will have to check the operation of all the units and mechanisms of the ship, consolidate the command and control skills in the management of subordinate personnel, as well as planned intra-ship survival exercises at the sea, communications exercises, and organization of the daily activities of the crew,” quotes the representative of the press service of the ZVO Vadim Sergi RIA "News».

Among the measures worked out were work on measuring shipboard physical fields, as well as on checking the operability of the complexes responsible for ensuring deck flights aviation.

In the near future, the sailors will conduct combat training with the pilots of the separate naval fighter air regiment of the SF to improve the skills of take-off and landing on the cruiser deck on the Su-33 fighter jets, as well as Su-25UTG training aircraft and interaction with search and rescue forces.

TAVKR "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" - this is the only aircraft carrier in the Russian Federation, as well as the only ship on the planet, the pilots of which rise into the air in the polar latitudes.

little repair information. how long did it last? what updated? What is the resource now before the next statement for repair? Previously, the problems were with the power plant, how true is this and what has been done?

[Bombardier]

Yes, it seems that they were in a hurry with the repair, I suppose that not everything that was planned was done. After all, the ship is needed now and on the go. That will hold a range of activities in the Mediterranean Sea ..

It’s good time for it to be repaired with a REAL update and with a replacement for MiGs. A small fry patched up the campaign and will go to Syria.

And 7 feet under the keel

[Lenar]

And what does this phrase mean?

[kolyhalovs]

Wish a happy journey. I’m a man, damn far from the sea, but everyone knows that ...

[adept666]

Wish a favorable sailing and that the ship does not run aground

[Lenar]

You don’t know anything.
7 feet is just a little over 2 meters. What could be a favorable swimming at such a depth from the keel to the bottom.
There are many interpretations, for example:
1. YOU ARE OUR GLORY IN DAYS OF SHAME, SEVEN FEET UNDER WATER, AURORA!
The communist slogan at the rally near the cruiser "Aurora" on November 7, 1991 The irony is that the cruiser "Aurora" stands on a concrete base (at an eternal anchor), and there is no water under its keel.
2. Seven feet under the keel is the wish of the last good luck. The average person is about 6 feet tall - that is, up to 180 centimeters. For the funeral of a sailor in the sea, 7 feet is enough - that is, for the sea to receive the sailor with his head. And the draft of the ship has nothing to do with it. However, like the old Russian sayings. From here - seven feet under the keel there is a stern sea wish for the last mercy - the one that the sea can give you. Written from the words of the old captains.

[kdale1980]

Regarding paragraph 1:
If "Aurora" is on a concrete base, then how do you explain the fact that "Aurora" was towed to Kronstadt on September 21 this year to the Kronstadt Marine Plant for repairs?
Actually, the Aurora has an absolutely normal underwater hull. During repairs in 1987, the cruiser's underwater hull was completely replaced due to the strong corrosion of its own. So the cruiser is quite afloat and there is no concrete there. And the myth itself that the "Aurora" stands on a concrete pedestal was born due to the peculiarities of the repair of the hull leaks before the capital in 1987. By the way, you can watch on the same YouTube how "Aurora" floats beautifully (although ships do not sail, but go) accompanied by tugs along the Neva.

[Lenar]

Read the date carefully, and then open Wikipedia or another source:

August 18, 1984 "Aurora" was aft forward brought up to the wall of the plant. The following year, the hull was entered into the dock, where almost the entire underwater part of the hull was separated. By August 1987, the “restoration” of the Aurora, which cost about 35 million rubles, was over. There are various assessments of the work performed: a new underwater part. The underwater part of the cruiser was not disposed of and, as of 2011, is in a flooded state near the settlement of Brooks of Kingisepp District [244] [247]. Parts of the skeleton sticking out of the water in the 1980s were pulled away by building residents of a nearby village


Give the incontrovertible facts that in 1991. Aurora could not stand at all for repair.

[adept666]

The irony is that the cruiser "Aurora" stands on a concrete base (at an eternal anchor), and there is no water under its keel.

Read less nonsense ... Cruiser at the moment (probably with a concrete base ) is located in the dock of the Kronstadt Marine Plant, where it was recently towed.

Written from the words of the old captains.

I do not know from which such old captains this is written, but 7 feet are desired not only for the crew, but also for the ship (ship). Even in the days of the "old captains", 7 feet was often not enough to swallow the entire ship In general, of course, there are different interpretations of this wish, for example, a variant of yours:

At all times, sailors were buried in the sea and, according to the general tradition, in cloth or canvas with a weight (stone, core, etc.) tied to their legs. the body remains buoyant under water and rises vertically above the load with its feet down. average human height plus cable and weight = about 7 feet or 2,135 meters. Therefore, 7 feet under the keel, the desire during the voyage not to disturb the peace of the dead sailors.

But if we study the matter more deeply, then it completely sounds like this: A fair wind and seven feet under the keel. Hence, such an interpretation is most likely (and I hold this opinion):

Around 6000 BC, the Egyptians used sailing ships to navigate the Nile, but due to the poor maneuverability of the ship, the captains tried to sail only along the river bank so that they would not be dragged to the middle quickly and without control. The ships of the Egyptians were not large, the draft did not exceed 2 meters, which is approximately equal to 7 feet. in order not to run aground, the captains had to hold ships at a little more depth and, before setting sail, they wished each other 7 feet under the keel. What became over time a saying. So they say when they want to wish a person good luck.

It's just that the first part of it is now practically irrelevant (with a few exceptions), so the phrase was cut off a bit.

[Lenar]

1. Your accusations of reading nonsense by me are groundless. 23 years have passed since that communist rally before the recent towing of Aurora.

During this time, there were many different events, including restoration, on the cruiser.

2. Regarding "7 feet under the keel", the presence of several interpretations in this matter is obvious.
However, here on the forum "experts" explain this phrase very one-sidedly

[kdale1980]

Of course, you can read the wiki, but what is written there does not always correspond to reality ... "Aurora" underwent a major overhaul which was completed in 1987. The underwater part of the hull was completely removed from the cruiser due to the fact that it had numerous centers of perforating corrosion, and therefore leaks. While the Aurora was at the embankment of the Neva (before being docked for a thorough overhaul), these leaks were simply repaired - there was a leak and was filled with bags of cement. Hence the origin of the myth about the concreting of "Aurora". During the overhaul, a completely new underwater part of the hull was made according to the preserved drawings. Subsequently, the surface part and the underwater part were docked together. After which the cruiser was returned to the parking lot.
From 1987 to 2014, no repairs were made to the underwater cruiser. Only scheduled maintenance and painting.
On September 21, 2014, the cruiser Aurora was taken in tow and towed to the Kronstadt Marine Plant for scheduled repairs. During it, inspection and necessary repair of the underwater part of the ship, modernization of the fire extinguishing system, etc. will be carried out. After that, the "Aurora" will be returned to the parking lot and further repairs will take place at the parking lot.
And on the account of the old underwater part - the military thought for a long time what to do with it .. many called for preserving it as history, but in the end it was flooded in the vicinity of the Baltic Fleet’s naval base Ruchey

But why did you ask the question: "What does this phrase mean?" not quite clear.

[adept666]

Your accusations of reading bullshit by me are unfounded.

Thorough. Aurora never stood on a concrete base.

As for "7 feet under the keel", the presence of several interpretations in this matter is obvious.

Interpretations by interpretations, but I wrote, how they relate to this and interpret it in the modern fleet:

The last of the Mohicans. One aircraft carrier for such a power as the Russian Federation is not enough. The Black and Mediterranean Sea, Far East require their mobile aircraft carrier bases.

[TECHNOLOGY]

So, Rodoslav this is understandable. But our planes are not going to build in the near future. Maybe sanctions will be decided in the custody. But in fact, the devil knows him. Do we need them or not. The opinions on the site are twofold. I'm not very much in this matter. More on Ground Based Aviation.

[mgfly]

an aircraft carrier is still more likely an offensive weapon, for support in lands remote from native shores. and we have not seen such doctrines (or just overlooked ).

[pahom54]

Quote: mgfly

and we have not seen such doctrines (or just overlooked

As I understand it, the doctrine our national security looks defensive, and that's what it comes from. BUT (!!!) in any pact-treaties, and even more so in internal doctrines, there may be secret pitfalls. Well, who will speak in their doctrines about "offensiveness" and "aggressiveness" ???
Well, here's an example: now Kuzya will be sent somewhere closer to Syria, the stump is clear, with what tasks. Well, what do you call these tasks - defensive or offensive ???
To be honest, we need aircraft carriers for only one purpose - to resist American and NATO pressure, to resist not only ourselves, but also potential "friends." And you can only resist by force.
If we proceed from the "peace-loving" doctrines of national security, then we can say that ... we have the army, aviation, navy ???
So, my friend, the doctrine of national security is essentially a conglomerate of offensive and defense measures ...

[cat hippopotamus]

Yes, the news is good, but the only word is a little sad. It is a pity that ships of similar characteristics were not completed in due time. They stood in Nikolaev and rusted, they sold them to the Chinese at the price of scrap metal already Svidomo, and the ships were laid down in the USSR. And Russia did not show due interest, and apparently did not want to, then this pleasure was not affordable. Moreover, I remember how the Ukrainians, with the help of the USA, destroyed the TU160 and did not pay us back for debts. Back then, the rulers of Ukraine showed what kind of neighbors and "brothers" they were.

[Barakuda]

When carcasses were cut in Uzin (Ukraine), some officers cried. I did not quite understand then. My dad then the whole military enlistment office was drinking for about three days, probably the boss of the type, it hurt in my heart.

There is Crimea in the Black Sea, it is unsinkable. But off the coast of Lebanon it makes sense to spin. To touch the raptors with radars, to say "well, yes, those who are at a height ..., at a speed ..., a course ... - we can't see it at close range, so we don't shoot."

[gjv]

... the mode of passage of warships is different for the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states. Subject to prior notification by the Turkish authorities, the Black Sea Powers may navigate their warships of any class through the straits in peacetime. Significant class restrictions have been introduced for warships of non-Black Sea powers (only small surface ships are allowed), tonnage and length of stay.
In the case of Turkey’s participation in the war, and also if Turkey considers that it is directly threatened by war, it is granted the right to allow or prohibit passage of any military vessels through the straits. During a war in which Turkey is not participating, the straits should be closed to the passage of military vessels of any belligerent nation.
The last military incident (apart from the exercises), when the mechanisms provided for by the Convention were activated, was the South Ossetian conflict of August 2008: through the Straits towards the Georgian ports of Batumi and Poti, a series of warships of the Sixth Fleet of the U.S. Navy then proceeded.
