New, 1917, found "Glory" on the roadstead of the Sveaborg fortress. The ship was undergoing repair work. It was there that the battleship met the February Revolution. It must be said that the crew of the Slava, in comparison with other ships, met the revolution almost exemplarily (when compared with other battleships). Cohesive

So, the battle on August 3 for the Germans turned out to be a failure - they could not break through to Irbens. It can be assumed that our opponents appreciated the actions of the only Russian battleship that dared to block the path of the Kaiser's dreadnoughts. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the dispatch on the night of 4

The Battle of Jutland, the largest in history clash of linear steam fleets, will always attract the attention of lovers of maritime history. In this article, we will consider some issues of firing accuracy of German and British battleships and battle cruisers. Accepted

Sadly, but unlike the F-35, which has become the talk of the town, the commissioning of which has been constantly postponed for a long time, the American LRASM anti-ship missile program is on schedule and, apparently, in 2018 the missile will be adopted by the Navy USA. And, no matter how

It is known that there are two polar points of view on the actions of the battleship (squadron battleship) "Slava" during the battles in Moonsund during the First World War. Many sources call the battle path of this battleship heroic. However, there is another opinion “on the Internet” - that the battleship

Having considered various options for the development of events, we come to the following possible types of conflicts between NATO and the Russian Federation: Global nuclear missile - that is, a conflict that begins with the full-scale use of strategic nuclear forces by both sides. Regardless of whether

It is known that the question "Does Russia need an ocean-going fleet, and if so, why?" still causes a lot of controversy between supporters and opponents of the "big fleet". The thesis that Russia is one of the largest world powers, and as such it needs a fleet, is parried by the thesis that Russia is

The purpose of this article is to collect in one material the ships that marked the key changes in the history of the navies. The material offered to your attention is by no means a rating: it is absolutely impossible to assess what is more important for naval art - the appearance

Comparing the capabilities of the artillery and armor of the Russian, German and British battleships, we come to the conclusion that the fighting qualities of the "battleships-cruisers" of the "Peresvet" type at the time of their laying fully corresponded to the concept of fighting German battleships on

In the previous article, we considered the question of where the idea of building "battleships-cruisers" was born instead of full-fledged squadron battleships. These ships were planned for action on oceanic communications, but with the possibility of a squadron battle against the German fleet: accordingly

Squadron battleships of the "Peresvet" class occupy a special place in the history of the Russian navy. These high-breasted beauties with a recognizable silhouette took an active part in the Russian-Japanese war, but their fate turned out to be sad. All three ships of this type were lost:

Having compared the project 68K and 68-bis cruisers with pre-war foreign light cruisers and post-war American Worchesters, we have so far ignored such interesting post-war foreign ships as the Swedish light cruiser Tre Krunur, the Dutch De Zeven Provinsen, and

Minelayer "Amur" From previous articles, we saw that the experience of V.K. Vitgefta as a naval commander is completely lost against the background of his opponent Heihachiro Togo, and the squadron over which the Russian Rear Admiral took command, quantitatively, qualitatively and in terms of crew training significantly

So, we see that the cruisers of Project 68 were to become at least one of the best, (or rather the best) light cruisers in the world. But they were unlucky - seven ships, laid down in 1939-1941, could not have time to get into service before the start of the Great Patriotic War, and there their construction

Exit of the cruiser "Zheleznyakov" from the outfitting pool of the plant. Marty, 1949. Description of the design of Project 68-K cruisers and their comparison with foreign "classmates" is very difficult: the problem is that Soviet ships were designed according to pre-war views and

The cruiser "Kuibyshev", 1950 The history of the creation of the cruisers of the project 68 is inextricably linked both with the evolution of domestic naval thought and with the growth of the industrial capabilities of the young USSR. To understand how their appearance and tactical and technical characteristics were formed, it is necessary to make

Dear readers, this is the last article in the series. In it, we will consider the air defense of domestic cruisers of the 26-bis project in comparison with foreign ships, and also answer the question why, with all its merits, the 180-mm B-1-P cannons were never used on Soviet cruisers again. About the composition

Squadron battleship "Petropavlovsk" in Port Arthur Having reviewed the brief biographies of the commanders in the previous article, we move on to the state of the 1st Pacific Squadron by the time Rear Admiral V.K.Witgeft took over the post temporarily and. d. commander of the Pacific Ocean squadron. Need to say

So, at the end of July 1904, the need for the Port Arthur squadron to break through became completely obvious. The point was not that on July 25, the Sevastopol returned to service, which was blown up by a mine during an unsuccessful exit on June 10, and not even that the governor's telegram was received on July 26

Destroyers of project 23560 "Leader". For the first time, the general public heard about it in June 2009, when ITAR-TASS announced the start of work on the creation of a multipurpose destroyer in the ocean zone. At the same time, the tasks that the Navy command set for the promising ship were announced: “Its main

In this article we will look at the construction of domestic "mosquito" forces and summarize the cycle. Despite the fact that in the USSR they paid great attention to the development of a small fleet, in the GPV program 2011-2020. included a minimum of strike ships with a displacement of less than a thousand tons. Planned to build 6 small

Cruiser "Voroshilov" Before proceeding to a description of the armor, power plant and some structural features of Soviet cruisers, let us devote a few words to the torpedo, aircraft and radar armament of ships 26 and 26 bis. All cruisers (except for the Molotov)

Surprisingly, the fact is that the naval battle that took place in the Yellow Sea on July 28, 1904, to this day remains relatively little known to a wide range of readers. This is rather strange, because in the Russo-Japanese War there were only four large-scale clashes of armored squadrons: Battle 27

Frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" What is still wrong with the domestic program of surface shipbuilding, adopted in the GPV 2011-2020? Immediately, we note that its developers had a very nontrivial task. The resumption of the massive construction of surface ships after twenty years

So, the rate of fire of the MK-3-180. This issue has been covered many times in almost all sources - but in such a way that it is absolutely impossible to understand anything. From the publication to the publication, the phrase is quoted: “The final ship tests of the MK-3-180 took place in the period from July 4th to August 23rd, 1938

Several years ago, the shipbuilding program included in the GPV 2011-2020 was discussed with great interest, and especially its revised version (2012), according to which, by 2020, the fleet should include: 1) 10 strategic missile submarine cruisers ( SSBN) project

In this article, we will try to understand the degree of participation of Italian specialists in the creation of cruisers of the 26 and 26-bis project, as well as the position of Soviet cruisers in the international classification of the 30s of the last century. To begin with, let's refresh our memory on the "milestones" in the design of cruisers

Ships of projects 26 and 26 bis. The first cruisers of the Soviet fleet, laid down in the USSR. Graceful handsome men, in whose silhouettes the rapid outlines of the Italian school are easily guessed … It seemed that we should know almost everything about these ships: they were built in our country, all archival

For a long time, the leading role of aircraft carriers in the history of World War II in the Pacific Ocean seemed self-evident and was not seriously disputed by anyone. However, for some time now, in the disputes that have already become traditional for "VO" "who is stronger, a whale or an elephant … that is, an aircraft carrier or a submarine?"

The first dreadnoughts of the Russian Imperial Navy, the Baltic "Sevastopoli", were awarded the most contradictory characteristics in the Russian-language press. But if in some publications the authors called them almost the best in the world, today it is widely believed that battleships of the type

Now is the time to return to comparing the tasks and capabilities of a promising EM for the Russian Navy and Arleigh Burke. The Americans created an air defense / anti-aircraft defense ship with the ability to perform the functions of an "arsenal ship". Conventional destroyer ammunition (74 SM2 missiles, 24 Sea Sparrow, 8 Tomahawk and 8 ASROK)

At the end of this article, I would like to express my opinion on a number of issues raised in the discussion of carrier-based air groups earlier. At most 36 planes and 10 helicopters fit into the hangar of an aircraft carrier, where to shove all the rest? We look at the diagram below And in the photo We count the cars and understand that on the flight deck

With great interest I got acquainted with the discussion about the promising Russian destroyer in the topic: "Alvaro de Basan" as a collective image of the future Russian destroyer and realized that there was no comment to the respected author of the article and equally respected participants in the discussion within the narrow framework of

Heavy nuclear missile cruiser of project 1144 (code "Orlan") "Peter the Great" (former "Kuibyshev") On February 20, Flot.com, citing informed sources, said: “The long-planned modernization of the heavy missile cruiser" Peter the Great "of project 11442

General state of the problem Development and modernization of the Russian naval forces in recent years have been given great attention by the country's leadership. At the same time, and this must be said frankly, the construction of new warships is carried out using outdated technologies

Greetings from the 90sOn April 4 of this year, an important event happened: the Americans put into operation a new multipurpose submarine of the fourth type Virginia - USS Delaware. An important event, important primarily for the opponents of the United States, since for the Americans themselves it is almost an ordinary one: the submarine has already become

Leading the Vigilant IUSV series, the unmanned Vigilant IUSV maneuvers at high speed in Singapore waters The Vigilant class IUSV autonomous boat has been on multi-day cruises since launching eight years ago. By now, the main design work has been completed, and

The US Navy's Maritime Research Administration is currently finalizing a prototype of the low-cost, long-run Sea Hunter mid-range craft that can be configured for a variety of payloads

The naval version of the Hermes 900 UAV can be equipped with a multisensor kit, which includes such systems as, for example, the multi-mode surveillance radar Gabianno T-200 by Leonardo

Against the background of increasing competition in the underwater sphere, anti-torpedo torpedoes are another option for neutralizing the threat of submarines. The article deals with the SeaSpider anti-torpedo system ("Sea Spider") by Atlas Elektronik. Launching the SeaSpider anti-torpedo torpedo in the Gulf of Eckernfjord
