August 8, 2022  

Admiralty Shipyards (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) has begun the final stage of factory sea trials of the Project 677 Kronstadt submarine.

 

 As part of the event, which will be held in the ranges of the Gulf of Finland, specialists will test the electric propulsion system, the effectiveness of the hydroacoustic complex, technical means and devices at working depth. The commissioning team will test torpedo-rocket weapons, check the maneuverability of elements in a submerged position and steering devices at maximum speed.

After the return of the submarine to the quay wall of the Admiralty Shipyards, the employees of the enterprise will begin to eliminate the comments and prepare the Kronstadt submarine for state tests.

Admiralty Shipyards is building the Kronstadt submarine according to an adjusted project, based on the results of trial operation of the lead ship. The ship’s technical equipment control system, electric propulsion system, and navigation complex have been modernized on the ships.

 

 In June 2022, the company laid down the fourth and fifth submarines of project 677 – Vologda and Yaroslavl, respectively. The state contract for their construction was concluded between Admiralty Shipyards and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in June 2019 as part of the Army-2019 Forum.

Project 677 submarines belong to the fourth generation of non-nuclear submarines and today are recognized as the most modern and promising domestic non-nuclear submarines, both in terms of combat effectiveness and other performance characteristics. “Admiralty Shipyards” is the only shipbuilding plant of this class.
