This is a continuation of the article on Romanian frigates. The first part is HERE. Kings and Queens As you already know from the previous parts, the beauty and pride of the entire Romanian people, the frigate Marasesti (F 111) for almost 20 years was the only and largest warship in history

This is a sequel to an article on 21st century Romanian frigates. The first part is HERE. And hello again! Since I have gone deep into history, I will remind you of something briefly. Great Britain reduced the size of its fleet. Frigates of the first series of Type 22 also fell under reduction. Two of them were

This is a sequel to an article on 21st century Romanian frigates. The first part is HERE. Power plants of frigates of type 22 To obtain an optimal coefficient of efficiency and more rational use of fuel on frigates of type 22 were installed ship combined gas turbine

Dear Readers! This series of publications can be considered a continuation of a series of articles devoted to the fate of the Romanian Marasti-class destroyers, as it contains information about the successors of the traditions of the Romanian naval forces. Either fortunately, or unfortunately, a lot of material has accumulated

From 1990 to August 1992, the destroyer "Timișoara" underwent modernization: in order to increase the stability of the cruiser, a number of superstructures were cut, the chimney and mast were shortened, and the heavy launchers for the P-21 "Termit" missiles were moved one deck below. For this, under the nasal complexes it was necessary

I would like to bring to your attention a photo review of the new seaports built in Russia after 1992, as well as those currently under construction. 1. Marine facade - passenger port on Vasilievsky Island (St. Petersburg). Built on an alluvial area next to the highway of the WHSD road under construction

Aircraft carriers are not only the pinnacle of shipbuilding, but also aircraft construction. Therefore, their comparative analysis is also important for assessing the technological level of states. There are few aircraft carriers in the world, and most of them are in the US Navy. Nevertheless, these ships are in the fleets of countries in all the most important regions of the world:

Photo: weapons.technology.youngester.com Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (R91), France The maritime powers of Europe, which have or once had classic strike aircraft carriers in their fleets, are gradually abandoning this type of ships in favor of smaller, but multifunctional

1. The Second World War showed that surface ships without air cover do not survive in an area where enemy strike aircraft are actively operating. 2. She also showed that large surface ships are easily destroyed by combat aircraft, which, for example, entailed the disappearance of large

Submarines of the "Bars" or "Morzh" type for the Baltic Sea were built in 1912 under the shipbuilding program "Rapid Reinforcement of the Baltic Fleet" in the amount of 18 units. According to this program, six submarines were intended for the Siberian Flotilla

As is widely known, at the beginning of World War II, Germany tried to disorganize the sea communications of the Allies with the help of surface ships. As warships of special construction, from "pocket battleships" to "Bismarck" and "Tirpitz", and converted merchant ships, combat stability

When in 2011 Russia demonstrated prototypes of the Club-K container missile systems, they were positioned as a means to quickly build up the striking power of the armed forces, placing these complexes on various types of mobile carriers - on landing boats, cars

More recently, such a class of ship as a minelayer, or minelayer, was quite common. Moreover, “recently” is recently in the most literal sense: the same Denmark had such ships in service back in the late nineties. Today, less than twenty years later, such ships are almost

The last ship of the "667 family" and the last Soviet submarine missile carrier of the 2nd generation (in fact, smoothly passed into the third generation) was the strategic missile submarine cruiser (SSBN) of project 667-BRDM (code "Dolphin"). Like its predecessors, it was created at the Central Design Bureau for Marine

Existing patent laws in various countries do not require a workable example of an invention to be attached to an application. This, in particular, makes life easier for various "projectors" offering deliberately unrealizable ideas. As a consequence, patent offices have to deal with a large

The most daring project of the US Navy at the present time is the construction of the Zumwalt-class destroyers. This project uses the newest and most daring technologies, which leads to particular complexity and numerous difficulties. Recently it became known that the lead destroyer again collides with

At the end of October, the lead destroyer of the Zumwalt project was launched at the American shipyard Bath Iron Works. Named after Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) is one of the most daring projects in the US military shipbuilding industry

In addition to the bitter truth, we also need positive examples, and we have them. No matter how many problems with Russian naval development become known, it is always worth remembering the main thing: the Navy is vital in order for Russia to lead at least some politics in the world. No fleet - no

“It was simply pointless to talk about the secrecy of the first Soviet nuclear submarines. The Americans gave them the derogatory nickname “roaring cows”. The pursuit of Soviet engineers for other characteristics of the boats (speed, immersion depth, weapon power) did not save the situation. Airplane, helicopter or torpedo

In the fall of 1945, the Soviet Union approved a 10-year plan for military shipbuilding. On April 22, 1946, an order was issued to transform the TsKB-17 branch, located on the territory of the present-day Severnaya Verf, into a separate Central Design Bureau under number 53

Over the past decades, ballistic missile submarines have been one of the most important components of strategic nuclear forces. Due to their secrecy, such carriers of weapons can literally get lost in the oceans and, having received an order, strike at objects

The emergence of self-propelled ships radically changed the field of maritime transport. Nevertheless, the development of this direction has led to new tasks and challenges. The shipowners were interested in increasing cruising speed and reducing fuel consumption. To solve these problems, a variety of

Today, on the world arms market, there is a significant number of different types of ships with both landing and combat capabilities, while the largest subclass - the universal landing ship (UDC) in terms of its dimensions and combat potential corresponds to the average

The Sovremenny-class destroyer is more of a shock destroyer, and its upgraded Project 1155 “replacer” is classified as a large anti-submarine ship. Based on its mission and features, the French destroyer Georges Leguy is most suitable for comparison with it. It is predominantly anti-submarine

There are "fashionable" trends that are frankly idiotic, but to which adults still succumb and voluntarily harm themselves. You can see this on the example of a girl who plucked her "native" real eyebrows, so that later for money to fill tattooed on the same place, for example

The first specialized means of dealing with enemy submarines already during the First World War were depth charges. Having found a submarine, a ship with such a weapon had to drop special high-explosive ammunition on it. Nevertheless, in a number of cases the use of such weapons was excluded. Taking

Submarines "Tambor" were the next logical step in the development of American submarines. 12 boats of this type had increased striking power, although they retained some of the design features of their predecessors, the Salmon-class submarines. Submarines had a fairly large radius

In 1958, at TsKB-18 (today TsKB MT "Rubin"), the development of a nuclear missile carrier of the second generation of the 667th project (headed by chief designer Kassatsiera A.S.) began. It was assumed that the boat will be equipped with the D-4 complex with the R-21 - underwater launch ballistic missiles. Alternative

The R-29R submarine ballistic missile became the first domestic product of its class capable of carrying a MIRV with individual targeting warheads. This made it possible to significantly increase the number of deployed warheads and strengthen the naval component

Last fall, the media reported on the successful completion of tests of a new strategic missile for submarines R-29RMU2.1 "Liner". However, against the backdrop of yet another round of controversies about the Bulava missile, the Liner's success was somewhat lost. But the R-29RMU2.1 is not easy

In July 1976, in order to expand the production front of third-generation multipurpose submarines, the military leadership decided to develop a new, cheaper nuclear submarine on the basis of the Gorky 945 project, the main difference of which from the prototype was to be the use of steel

On June 9, 1989, thirty years ago, at the age of 79, Admiral of the Fleet, Hero of the Soviet Union Vladimir Afanasyevich Kasatonov, an outstanding Soviet military leader, naval commander who commanded the Black Sea and Northern Fleets of the USSR Navy during the Cold War, died in Moscow. paths:

The UK government recently confirmed that BAE Systems will build a total of seven Astute-class submarines to replace the current Trafalgar-class submarines Formidable, stealthy, versatile, pinpoint and global strike capable modern submarines

In recent months, the supply of French landing ships of the Mistral project has been actively discussed. Simultaneously with this, the construction of the lead landing ship of project 11711 is being completed in Russia. The large landing ship (BDK) "Ivan Gren" has been under construction since 2004 and its delivery is scheduled for

In the article "Modules" patrolmen "will not save" problematic issues of our "modular ships" were rigidly identified. However, the question arises: what is the situation with the navies of foreign countries and is there any positive in the modular approach to shipbuilding?

On September 3, under the heading "Analytics", E. Damantsev's article "Sharp moments of sonar reconnaissance of the US Navy at the gates of the Northern Sea Route. Deployment of the Seawolf-class ultra-low-noise submarine near the Barents Sea. It is impossible to agree with almost all the provisions of this material

During the tests, the KSSH missile sunk many more warships than any other anti-ship missile in the world On a clear sunny day on September 9, 1943, the Italian squadron, on the orders of the new government, went from La Spezia to Malta to surrender to the Allies. Ahead - the strongest battleship

On August 26, 1941, the linear icebreaker "Anastas Mikoyan" hastily departed from the outfitting wall of the Nikolaev shipyard named after Marty and, heavily burying its nose in the oncoming waves, headed for Sevastopol. There was no solemn orchestra on the dock, it was not greeted by enthusiastic

The universal ice ships of the Russian Navy are returning to the Russian Arctic In two years, the newest multifunctional vessel, the icebreaker Ilya Muromets, will be included in the Arctic group of the Russian Navy. In total, the Northern and Pacific fleets will include four of these

The American strategic bomber B-52 flies around the Soviet "aircraft carrier" - heavy aircraft carrying cruiser pr. 1143. We used to think that everything was the other way around, but it was the same. The USA has a long history of using multi-engine bombers in naval warfare. During the Second
