"Igor Belousov" conducts tests of the deepwater complex

The rescue ship "Igor Belousov" loaded the diving bell to the working depth 450 m in the Atlantic Ocean, reports RIA News the message of the representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Dygalo.

“The operating parameters in the process of diving a diving bell were measured by special sensors, the information of which was analyzed by experts. The dive was made in the framework of the first stage of interdepartmental tests of the onboard deep-water diving complex GVK-450, ”Dygalo said.

He clarified that “the second stage of the GVK-450 tests is scheduled for the second half of September and will be held with the participation of, inter alia, 12 divers of the Russian Navy who have undergone special training.”

According to the officer, “after the fourth stage of factory trials in the Atlantic, the crew will proceed to state trials.” "Igor Belousov" should be part of the Navy before the end of 2015 year.

Help Agency: “Igor Belousov” is the lead rescue ship of the 21300С project, built for the Russian Navy at the Admiralty Shipyards in the city of St. Petersburg. Intended to assist crews of emergency submarines lying on the ground or in surface position, supplying air, electricity and rescue equipment to submarines and surface ships. The vessel's displacement is 5000 tons, length — over 100 meters. ”

Good luck in testing guys!

"Igor Belousov" conducts tests of the deepwater complex

A very necessary thing and very dangerous for submariners ...
work in an environment where around the monstrous pressure of water ..... I would not dare.

I hope that now the chances of saving people in sunken ships and submarines will grow by an order of magnitude.

Problems with the delivery of vehicles to the scene of the accident ... The ship is moving slowly, but there are no air carriers. Let it be better than accidents AT ALL !!!

The ekranoplan would be useful more than ever ..... What we have is not stored ...

This complex is not airborne.

The complex GVK-450 has a fairly large size and occupies three decks of a rescue ship. Its main element is several pressure chambers mounted on the second deck. The vessel “Igor Belousov” received four residential pressure chambers, connected with the help of a lock chamber of a similar design. When performing diving operations, four pressure chambers can accommodate 12 people. When rescuing the crew of an emergency submarine, up to 60 people can be placed in the pressure chambers. The maximum air pressure in the pressure chambers is 45 atmospheres, which corresponds to the pressure at a depth of 450 m.

Good, but not enough. Need more.

This is certainly great! But with the same "Kursk", would you just have time to come up while there were alive? And if further from our shores? And if the depths are deeper? And so it is better to have such ships, yes in each fleet, than none at all.

If it were not for the tragedy with the Kursk, perhaps they would not have started building this complex. Until the thunder breaks out ...

The implementation of the GVK-450 project began in June 2012. Then the company “Tethys Pro” together with TsMKB “Almaz” began to develop design documentation for the placement of the complex on the vessel of project 21300.
Three years of hard work and finally the first results. Good luck.

Moving in the right direction - happy! Just not to slow down on what has been achieved.

Successful tests. And for every Russian fleet.

Good Lifeguard! But, I think, the project needs to be finalized. Improve on the use of the Bester SPU. There is a gap between the side of the apparatus and the bulkhead of the hangar about a meter. And on the bulkhead cable routes and pipelines. Therefore, on not even a big wave, they will lower it, but it will be problematic to lift it aboard and install it in its regular place without breaking the bulkhead and the side of the apparatus. And the very expediency of installing a manned rescue underwater vehicle on this project raises doubts. After all, the Rescuer is equipped with dynamic positioning, which means he himself holds the set point. And the manned vehicle is where additional search is needed. It seems that in the conditions of this vessel the rescue bell will be somewhat more effective !? And it will take up much less space on the ship. But, be that as it may, the Rescuer is already there! And God forbid, one such for each Fleet, and at the Pacific Fleet as many as two!

The inhabited apparatus is just the same and is needed to save the crews of boats lying on the ground.

Yes, the scale is impressive. Generally help but not ambulance.
