KHABAROVSK, April 14 - RIA Novosti. The fourth serial corvette "Sharp", built for the Pacific Fleet, went on sea trials from the delivery base of the Amur Shipbuilding Plant (ASZ) in Vladivostok, the plant's press service reports.
The multi-purpose patrol ship (corvette) of project 20380 "Sharp" was laid down on July 1, 2016, on the day of the 80th anniversary of the three-time order-bearing NEA. The corvette left the stocks on July 1 last year, and in November 2021 it was delivered by the Zeya transport dock to Vladivostok to prepare for testing and delivery to the customer.
"The fourth serial corvette, built for the Pacific Fleet, has left the commissioning base of the Amur Shipbuilding Plant in Vladivostok for sea trials. Within a few days, the shipbuilders, together with the crew, will check the operation of navigation equipment, power plants, assess the controllability and stability of the corvette. Compliance with seaworthy, maneuverability and driving performance of the previously approved documentation, and the reliability of the operation of the entire complex of equipment and mechanisms of the corvette was assessed," the plant said in a statement.
It is noted that the corvette has successfully passed mooring tests - the Amur shipbuilders have closed almost all mooring certificates. A galley is working on the ship, the corvette crew and the NEA commissioning team are located in conditions acceptable for life and work. Last week, the ship underwent electromagnetic processing and, according to the responsible deliverer of the corvette, Razhden Baratashvili, was fully prepared for the start of sea trials.
The final stage in the construction of a serial corvette will be state tests, after which shipbuilders must transfer it to the Navy.
