The oldest naval vessel celebrated its 100 anniversary

30
On July 14, a ceremonial celebration of the centenary of the oldest naval vessel took place in Streletskaya Bay fleet "Commune". The crew was congratulated by representatives of the command, crews of other vessels, as well as the leadership of the joint trade union committee of the auxiliary fleet.



The rescue ship of the Volkhov submarines was laid down for the Russian Imperial fleet in St. Petersburg at the Putilov shipyard of the Society of Putilov factories (the present JSC Shipbuilding Plant Severnaya Verf). 14 July 1915 of the year became part of the Navy.

During his stay in the fleet, he raised more than 150 wrecks, including ten submarines. It is noteworthy that the veteran who survived all the world wars is still in the service

It should be noted that the rescue catamaran is the carrier of the search and rescue complex developed by Tethys Pro on the basis of the modern working remote-controlled underwater vehicle Panther Plus, which allows you to inspect objects at depths up to 1000 meters.

The complex on the basis of PTNPA "Panther Plus" is installed on the SS "Commune" in 2010 year instead of the deep-sea habitable apparatus.

Experts note the great potential of the device, the maneuverability provided by the 8 horizontal and 2 vertical propellers, and good handling. It is especially noted that the preparation of the RTPA "Panther Plus" for immersion takes only 30 minutes. It should be noted that the operation of such devices significantly expands the capabilities of the rescue forces of the Black Sea Fleet.
The oldest naval vessel celebrated its 100 anniversary

Working TPA "Panther Plus" is designed to perform complex underwater work in strong currents at depths up to 1000 m. The features of this model are the duplication of the propulsion circuit. Unlike other models that have 4 horizontal propellers, RTPA has dual horizontal propellers, increasing the emphasis, due to which effective resistance to currents, maneuverability and controllability of the apparatus are carried out. Ten engines provide the movement of the device under water, depending on the direction, at speeds up to 4 nodes.

The position and movement of the device is determined using the navigation sonar positioning system according to the ship's antenna, beacon responders and the global GPS navigation system.

The remote-controlled apparatus has an automatic depth retention system, an echo sounder, a satellite positioning complex and a device for scouring the soil. Operators can observe his actions with the help of two controlled high-sensitivity cameras located next to the manipulators, as well as rear-view video cameras.

In addition, the device can carry a payload of up to 150 kg. So “Panther Plus” can be equipped at the same time with a large range of additional devices, including 2 hydraulic manipulators, multi-beam echo sounder, track-searching complex and pipeline inspection complex.

The complex itself includes the apparatus itself with an immersion depth of 1000 m, a deep-water immersion device (UGP), a trip-lift device (SPU) with a cable winch. With "modest" weight and size characteristics (length - 2,14 m, width - 1.06 m, height - 12,17 m, weight - 800 kg), the device is capable of performing a large amount of underwater technical works.

This can be a search for objects using a round-scan sonar at a distance of up to 300 m, a survey of objects in the water column and on the ground, video filming, and various work with the help of manipulators and a replaceable hydraulic tool - a circular saw and a powerful wire cutter. The device can deliver various cargoes and tools weighing up to 105 kg under water and lifting it to the surface.

The device is equipped with three video cameras and two manipulators. Manipulators of the device have 7 and 5 degrees of freedom, respectively. Replaceable circular saw and wire cutter allow you to cut pipes and fittings, cut cables and cables with a diameter of up to 90 mm.

Also on the vessel is a simulator, where practical training of the complex operators is conducted.

In recent years, the ship "Commune" took part in the testing of deep-water equipment, with his participation and rescue and underwater-technical work.

In May-June, the Kommuna in the Black Sea during the exercises completed the elements of the second course task - the actions of a single ship at sea for its intended purpose. A practical testing of the tasks by the PTPA “Panther Plus” RTPA operators was held at the sea range. The device has worked more than 90 hours at depth, 70 of which the operators maintained stable acoustic and video contacts with training objects. During the test dive, the Panther Plus operators managed to find an emergency submarine at a depth of more than 60 meters in just six minutes.

      It’s interesting, maybe the specialists will tell you the "state secret." Why couldn't Komsomolets work with all the minced meat when Kursk was lying on the ground? Maybe the upgrade did not go through at that time? And why is this pepelats better than modern boats produced? Maybe because they are not there, but are only being introduced (project 21300C)? Explain the characteristics, otherwise nothing is clear from the article. hi

        For such an anniversary, I would like to have a more overview article (why in the ranks, what is its condition and how many plan to operate it, what and when it changed and modernized, etc.) after all, it’s 100 years and is still in operation!

          17 November 2013 of the year in Sevastopol, a ceremony was held in honor of the centenary of launching the oldest ship registered as part of the Russian Navy - the rescue catamaran "Commune". The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Alexander Vitko, took part in the raising of the flag and the solemn meeting on this occasion at the detachment of the rescue vessels of the Black Sea Fleet, which includes the "Commune".

          The rescue ship of the Volkhov submarines was laid out for the Russian Imperial fleet 12 November 1912 in St. Petersburg at the Putilov shipyard of the Society of Putilov factories (present JSC Shipbuilding Plant Severnaya Verf) and launched on November 17 1913. The Baltic The fleet entered 14 July 1915 of the year 31 December 1922 was renamed the “Commune.” In 1967, the ship from the Baltic Fleet moved to Sevastopol into the Black Sea Fleet.

          The vessel has repeatedly undergone repairs and upgrades. During his stay in the fleet, he raised more than 150 wrecks, including ten submarines. Now the Commune is still in the ranks of the Navy and is the carrier of the modern working remote-controlled underwater vehicle Saab Seaeye Panther Plus acquired in the UK, which allows you to explore objects at depths up to 1000 meters. Also on the vessel is a simulator, where practical training of the complex operators is conducted. In recent years, the ship "Commune" took part in the testing of deep-water equipment, with his participation and rescue and underwater-technical work.

          “During the last docking in 2005, the hull thickness in the bow was measured, in the ice belt area it was - 14, 9 mm, while during launching - 16 mm,” the captain of the Commune vessel reported in the last ten years, Anatoly Ishinov. The captain noted that the ship can serve for many more years, according to him, until recently, the only non-working mechanism on the ship was a piano presented to the ship in 1914, but today it is in working condition.

          "Commune" has a displacement of 3100 tons., Its length - 81 m, width - 13,2 m, draft - 3,7 m.
          Full speed is 8,5 knots, and cruising range is 4000 miles.
          No weapons. Specialist. equipment: shipboard lifting equipment - left hull for 80 tons, right hull - for 30 tons. Crew: 23 people.
          It is worth noting that the ship hull is made of Putilov steel and is, of course, not in perfect condition, but in quite working condition. The vessel is constantly undergoing maintenance, because he, of course, even by human standards, is not even pre-retirement, but a deeply retired age.
          It was here on November 20, 2013.

      Well, it is logical to assume that it is in the same place where it is assigned! I am also extremely sorry for the guys from the Kursk, but this ship would have got there for a month. The problem is not where and who was, the problem is why there was no similar technique where it was needed.

        EBNu "thank you" I must say. Search (on the net) the memories of the crews of rescue vehicles in the "Kursk epic". Then the state of rescue equipment was brought to such an extent that it became "salvable". So they asked for the Norgs.

    Such equipment for the implementation of rescue operations should always go one step ahead of progress, the Commune is purely outdated, even equipping it with modern equipment does not save.
    If the use of the catamaran for rescue operations is so successful, it is logical to lay down new vessels of this class, if you use the vessel only as a training center, to popularize military service among young people and cadets. You can attribute it to a military school as a testing laboratory.

          In fact, when exercises are conducted with live firing (especially such large-scale ones), rescue equipment MUST be deployed in the area of ​​exercises, as the level of training of modern troops is such that it cannot do without casualties.

    The secret of longevity of the Commune (Volkhov):

    "The ship was built in the 1910s at the shipyards of the Putilovsky plant in Petrograd. In the manufacture of the hull, a special viscous malleable ship steel was used, the secret of which is now lost. Over a century, it has worn down by only a few millimeters and is practically not touched by corrosion. This amazes even the most experienced engineers - after all, they are well aware that the steel hulls of modern ships are eaten away by corrosion in 30-40 years. But on the catamaran, only those iron structures that were installed at a later time rust and turn into dust. "

    The ship is good, but the author "strained" me, the article was supposed to be about the ship that celebrated its centenary in the ranks, but it turned out to be an advertising "opus" about the remotely controlled underwater vehicle "Panther Plus"; I'm not going to argue about the need for articles about new means of facilitating search and rescue , but if you are writing about the hero of the day, be so kind as to write an article about the ship itself, and not get carried away with advertising.

      See the original source. And the RTNPA "Panther Plus" is not their newest model. Tethys Pro himself is now releasing more abruptly. With Glonass.

    Totally agree with you. The title of the article does not match the content. In fact, only the first paragraph is about the "Commune". Maybe the author should split the article into two separate ones: one about the carrier ship, the second about the underwater vehicle.
    In general, I wonder how many in the world remained in the ranks of ships that crossed the 100th anniversary.

    The oldest naval vessel celebrated its 100 anniversary
    On such topics, one must modestly be silent in a rag, and not celebrate an anniversary. This is a floating junk. Poke a nail, fall apart. For 100 years, metal has not lived in salt water.
    In the manufacture of the hull, a special viscous malleable ship steel was used, the secret of which is now lost. Over the course of a century, it has worn out just a few millimeters and is almost untouched by corrosion.
    Bullshit, of course.
    Already several times it was necessary to update. A disgrace.
