The ship for the transport of ballistic missiles completed tests

The Russian vessel Akademik Kovalev, intended for the transport of the Bulava missiles with which the 955 submarine is equipped, returned from tests on Saturday, the portal reports Popular Mechanics.

According to the newspaper, at the time of launching to sea, "the operation of general ship systems and mechanisms was tested, engines, steering gears were tested, noise was measured." On the test "Kovalev" out with weight and size models of missiles on board.

Resource Help: “Akademik Kovalev, MTV project 20180TV, was built on the basis of the Zvezdochka sea rescue tug (project 20180) and is a representative of a new family of support vessels for the Navy. Designed for loading, unloading and transportation of various types naval weapons. Its displacement is 6,3 tons, the speed is 14 knots, the crew is 60 people. The vessel is equipped with a cargo crane designed for 120 tons. "

Good deal .... you can probably right in the sea to refuel ammunition submarines of Russia.

It's a good thing, but "Academician Kovalev is carrying missiles" is certainly cool ... at least the Academician would be removed, otherwise it turns out too formidable

[Amurets]

Academician Kovalev rpksn designed and there is nothing to worry if the ship is called in his honor.

[Samaritan]

And there was laid the laying of such a handsome man for the Pacific Fleet, they laid it at the Eastern Shipyard: Small marine tanker (MMT) of project 03182 was developed as a multi-purpose platform of a reinforced ice class vessel for transporting liquid and dry cargo with the possibility of receiving helicopter equipment (including unmanned aerial vehicles) devices) and rescue operations. The tanker has a displacement of 3500 tons, a length of about 80 meters, a range of autonomous navigation of up to 1500 miles, autonomy of 30 days, seaworthiness of up to 9 points inclusive. The crew is 24 people.

They won't be at sea. Let's remember a little history. Etc. 941 was supposed to load rockets in the port of Severodvinsk and at the place of permanent deployment in Zapadnaya Litsa in Nerpichya Bay. A specially built railway led to the bay there and a crane was installed. So it was impossible to deliver missiles by rail because of the sharp turns. The ship-transport of missiles pr. 11570 "Alexander Bastrykin", specially built at the Admiralty plant, did not help either. The boats of pr. 941 did not go to the Pacific Fleet. And the loading and unloading of missiles was carried out only in Severodvinsk. This is a very difficult operation. The crane is special for this. Crane Operator - Rank 3 Captain.
As we know now, pr. 955 will be based on the Pacific Fleet. There is an infrastructure. But you can’t deliver missiles either by rail. Therefore, there was a need for transport ships, or rather, in armament transport, according to 20180TV pr. Based on the design of the tugboat 20180

Recall a bit of history. Etc. 941 was supposed to load rockets in the port of Severodvinsk and in the place of permanent basing in Western Litsa in the Nerpichy Bay. A specially constructed railway led to the bay and a crane was mounted.

EMNIP, KSPR in the Western Face did not start.

[Ajent cho]

So, by rail because of sharp turns, missiles could not be delivered.

Nothing, soon other missiles will only be on trains and will travel.

[Oman 47]

The trains are called - BZHRK "Barguzin" ?!
And the whole complex is called "Polar Fox" (sneaked up unnoticed ...) ?!

to Vilyuchinsk? Well, this ship needs to be equipped with weapons, otherwise the hour is unequal ...

[varov14]

It pleases me too, one thing I cannot understand, why should we be completely outsiders to know this, what is transported on what, etc. Sometimes it seems to me that valuable information that is completely not intended for mass consumption is simply merging. In the old years, they wrote about the newly built factories about the army they wrote in passing, but it was definitely a shield, now everyone and everyone is not too lazy about something and in open access, what a crap. Or am I an old stump behind the general "publicity".

Normal crap. In the old days, we knew more about the enemy’s army than about ours. And inevitably compared them recent achievements with our cars previous generations (and even the pre-previous ones) - simply because censorship did not pass newer ones to the press.
We have already flown the Su-27 - and in open sources all the MiG-21 flaunted. After all, it came to insanity - they secretly "Jane" for the data on our ships and released their "cut Jane" with the latest NATO achievements, but without the ATS fleet.

As a result, against the background of the West, our army in open press and on TV looked ... pale. We lost in propaganda.

And don't worry about secrecy. Remember the epic with the T-50 - the appearance was revealed only during the first flight. Despite the fact that thousands of people saw the car in the design bureau and in factories. Or the same epic with "Armata", the photo of which had not been leaked to the network before the official publication. Or "Losharik".

The concern for secrecy is commendable! Long live pr MO "010 !!!
But it's time to understand that the appearance is not a secret. Secrecy went deep! In technology, software, computer and etc. Hypersound, space, lasers, electromagnetic radiation, nano-technology, robotics - this is not a complete list of the interest of foreign intelligence. And they also really love special communications and its documents, ZAS, ciphers ...
And the specialist, looking at the sample, will immediately tell you its TTX +/- 10% error.
But "vigilance is our weapon!" - the ever-topical slogan ... of our grandfathers! Unfortunately, not always the current generation of boobies in uniform.

That a good thing is for sure, but the rest is a bit wrong.
If there is a threat of a nuclear strike on the bases, the boats are dispersed over maneuverable bases. They may be in varying degrees of readiness, some may have to replenish the knowledge base. As well as boats that returned after completing the task.
The loading of ICBMs into the sea is impossible in principle, since the excitement cannot be stopped, even without wind on the sea there is a dead swell. And when loading you need high accuracy. No wonder the missile-loading cranes for missile defense have a millimeter stroke of the hook. Even standing at the pier, loading is an extremely difficult and tedious event. And if it is military missiles equipped with warheads, it’s even hard to imagine tolerances ...

[jjj]

But the Americans on the basis of Kings Bay rocket loaded here in these hangars on the water. They start a boat there and work. American missiles need comfort, however, like people

you can probably reload ammunition right at sea ..

From warehouses to base points. It is possible to load missiles into mines before completing the arrangement of the "gallows" at the basing points.

For the ever-memorable pr. 941 there was a ship "Alexander Brykin" - it was just used to deliver and load missiles into mines, since there was only one KSPR for the Makeevka monsters in the whole country, and that one was in Severodvinsk. It was not possible to launch the KSPR at the basing point.

Do you think that Bulava is going directly to naval bases ???
Or is it stacked in heaps on piers ???

Yes, even for reloading weapons from the ship that delivered the Bulava to the roadstead, to this ship, and from it to the nuclear submarine or storage ...

Yes, even to replace the Bulava with a nuclear submarine for some reason ...

Or do you think that in such a time of no money again, they are wasting money for nothing ???

A combat fleet is not only destroyer destroyers and nuclear submarines ... Its combat readiness is completely dependent on coastal infrastructure and a considerable auxiliary fleet ...

So we handed over the ship - and we rejoice ... Another unit went into operation ...

I didn’t think about it, but you’re probably right, it seemed so at heart. Two drunk loaders with a stacker, constantly dropping a Mace on a load, kicking it furiously, and desperately cursing
And yet, George, why can't you download it from the pier? It seems that even "Granites" were loaded from it, or am I mistaken?

[kote119]

granites are usually loaded with a floating crane, and at 941 ave. the rocket is very large, the loading complex was not brought to mind in Z. Litsa, and it’s a little expensive to constantly drive to Dvinsk.

[Alexey RA]

Common goals are to transport SLBMs from fleet depots to basing points and unload them at a berth at a berth for further transportation to a PB warehouse. SLBM can be delivered to Kamchatka only by sea. And in the North, the sea route is more reliable.

Perhaps - loading SLBMs into RPKSN mines (if there is no suitable crane in the database).

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Alexey RA

When the boat was in Z. Litsa or Okolnaya, Gadzhievo had to enter the reactor, go to Severomorsk at berth 19, drive the PC there and make love until the full loading or unloading of the combat and loading of the "shooting". Now the arsenal and the PC (in one glass!) Will come on a diesel engine (there is no need to burn a / s), moor to Bori's side and begin work. The crew of the submarine does not need to moor the submarine, take tugs, close the raid, the Kola Bay, etc.
And secondly, 6,3 thousand tons are easier to carry out than 15 thousand tons, and the submariners "at home" will be more intact.

Excuse me, are you pouring fuel into your car directly from the reflux column or is it still at the gas station?
Not all navies have railway access. But for transportation from railway to naval base it is needed. Is it clear now?

[Corsair0304]

Well, they know how to make beautiful ships in Russia! Even auxiliary.
Such a ship is needed a priori, since having taken the cargo on board, it can deliver the "Bulava" nuclear submarine to any point in the sea-ocean. A small ship in a large sea is much more difficult to find than a static naval base, which in which case is definitely under attack.
Ship supply - and that says it all. Neither add nor take away.

[Alexey RA]

This is not "Academician Kovalev", but his predecessor - "Zvezdochka".
"Kovalev" has only one crane, and it is not on the stern cut, but closer to the midsection.

The loading of submarines by ammunition takes place at specially equipped piers, and this ship is needed to deliver missiles to these piers, since ammunition cannot be delivered in other ways in the conditions of the naval bases of the Northern and Pacific fleets. So learn the material part and do not fantasize.

Only, I'm afraid that if such a vessel can still be made for diesel engines, then for nuclear submarines it is unrealistic. Just estimate the weight of a submarine lying on the ground and unable to float on its own. The only way out here is to first save the crew, and then use something like the Gigant-4, as with the Kursk.

This is not a cargo ship, but a special vessel. In addition to transportation, you still need to load-unload the products, monitor the storage mode, protect, fight for the survivability of the products and the vessel as a whole in the event of an accident. And also carry out maintenance of the ship’s materiel.
