    Which fleets will the minesweepers pass? First of all, the Black Sea Fleet.

      Well, yes, he is needed there. It will be a trawl to drive Ganapolsky with a hacksaw, from the cable. laughing

      - Minesweepers are everywhere. That's just something named ... I mean that at the beginning of May 1982 in the Zolotoy Rog Bay of Vladivostok, the Alexander Obukhov smelter sank right at the pier. You can type in a search engine. Obukhov Alexander Grigoryevich himself is a sapper hero, there are no words, but it’s not in the tradition of the sea to give the names of new, including military, names of ships that have sunk in DURI. I was an eyewitness to this event, like many Vladivostok residents.

    The Black Sea Fleet, of course, needs minesweepers, but how many explosive shit has remained since the times of World War I and the Great Patriotic War in the Baltic! Moreover, not only simple but also chemical weapons, so there is plenty of work !!!

    Seven feet under the keel! Still, a new technology for building the hull. I hope the operation will be hassle-free.

    It is very gratifying that Russia has become a great naval power, as it always has been!

      There is still no end to work. If the submarine fleet is strong, but the surface fleet is strong only in the Caspian Sea. We need cruisers, destroyers, frigates, UDC, an aircraft carrier not bad for the Northern and Pacific fleets.

        Guys! Reread (or just read) Gorshkov’s book “The Sea Power of the State”. under him, the USSR became a "great naval power."
        One of his "railways" was worth it. But not mature enough. And so - Chesma, Navarin, Sinop.

      Dear, what are you talking about? Until the GREAT MARINE POWER, we "plow and plow." Most of our fleets are the legacy of the USSR. And these ships are aging. We have not built a cruiser, nor destroyers or aircraft carriers (I’ll say nothing about aircraft carriers ). What kind of greatness are you talking about? We have a single copy of the Ash-tree of the MAPL project, and it’s not clear when Kazan will be let down. We can’t create the destroyer Leader in iron (although we need new destroyers the day before yesterday). We’re the submarine project Lada (with an anaerobic power plant) we spend too much time in what year?
      Hurry. You, dear, hurry. hi

    Minesweeper is a plowman of the sea, in addition to trawling, he performs many other tasks. so the fleet has a great need for such ships.

    how many such minesweepers are needed to trawl approaches to naval bases?
    Moreover, we have a lot of naval base and points of basing ships and submarines.
