missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov is a Russian Project 1164 Atlant missile cruiser. It is part of the northern fleet and is currently undergoing modernization, primarily missile weapons.

If a person is not destined to be born again, then this has been done many times with ships. Russia has everything ready for the speedy and inexpensive rearmament of the Russian Navy. This is not only the construction of new ships, but also the modernization of a finished ship with a well-coordinated team. Not only old people go to battle. The superiority of the scientific achievements of Russia (USSR) must be used, which is what the state is doing.

Tasks of missile cruisers

If the task of the US Navy (NATO) is a land invasion strategy based on AUGs (air strike groups), and even coastal patrol ships are created by them to help precisely for operations at foreign borders (littoral LCS), then our tasks are to prevent the manifestation aggression towards you. It was precisely this military policy that Marshal Ustinov pursued ( chief executive MIC 1941 - 1963, Minister of Defense of the USSR 1976 - 1984 and the most influential in the field of armaments 1953 - 1984) - he is also an opponent of the construction of aircraft carriers with Su and MiG aircraft, he preferred to build missile carriers and anti-submarine ships. Some military and scientists were denied the initiative, but others were encouraged. Thanks to the stubbornness of Ustinov, our country has a springboard for aircraft carriers and a vertical take-off for carrier-based aviation, we got another unrealized development of the late 1980s - the Yak-141 aircraft. The meaning of his (Ustinov's) position is as follows - we (the USSR) should not repeat what has already been created by the Americans, ours are missile cruisers and helicopter carriers.

Now everyone agrees with Admiral Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov that aircraft carriers are needed, like all other types of ships. But his military talent is comparable to Ushakov for his time. Unlike Stalin, Khrushchev did not build, but cut the laid new fleet Kuznetsov (where there was a place for aircraft carriers), preferring only one of its advantages - missile weapons. After that, naval sailors, supporters of aircraft-carrying cruisers, for a long time proved their necessity to the rocket man Ustinov in an undertone.

Not without problems, under Ustinov, the first aircraft carrier was laid down, and only after his death was the green light given to efficient high-speed aircraft with a conventional takeoff - the Su-27K and MiG-29K. Despite this, he deserves respect and the right to call a ship after him, especially the RK. After all, what he stood for developed in better side, and the combat capabilities of cruisers are his merit. Ustinov successfully graduated from the Military Mechanical Institute (now "Voenmekh" named after him). I have never been a real soldier. Therefore, he had flaws as a commander (especially as a naval admiral), and as a person - a stubborn one.

RK "Marshal Ustinov" has been serving since 1986 in the Northern Fleet. The main difference in the classification of NATO and domestic ships in that they call missiles those that oppose, first of all, air targets - air defense systems. In the Navy of the Russian Federation (USSR), they are given another main purpose - to destroy surface ships and coastal fortifications with anti-ship missile systems (SCRC). Any cruiser is an independent combat unit of the 1st rank. It is well armed with all means of fighting against underwater, surface, coastal and air targets.

The 1164 Atlant project of 1972 solved the tasks of destroying surface ships (including aircraft carriers). The tasks of the RK soon expanded, the equivalent part was:

• destruction of enemy strike groups;
• the country's collective missile defense system;
• escort of long-distance sea transport;
• anti-submarine warfare;
• support for the landing of marines;
• destruction of coastal fortifications.

History of creation

In October 1972, the Northern Design Bureau received a state order for tactical and technical characteristics according to a ready-made sketch of project 1164 Atlant. A.K. Perkov was approved as the chief designer, who was replaced by V.I. Mityukhin in 1979. Captain 2nd rank A.N. Blinov became the representative-observer of the Navy. The planned displacement of a powerful surface missile carrier was measured at 10 thousand tons. The main armament was destined to be the P-500 Bazalt, which has been under development since 1969, with the first supersonic sea-launched cruise missile of the Bazalt anti-ship missile. The missile was ready by 1974 and was put into service in 1975 (submarines 675MK and 675MU were re-equipped with them). In 1977, they were equipped with the 1143 aircraft carrier project, and in the early 1980s with the 1164 project (after the launch of the Moskva, Marshal Ustinov and Varyag). Of the originally planned 10 such ships for the USSR Navy, only 3 remained, already for the Russian Federation.

On October 5, 1978, the Soviet shipyard Admiral of the Fleet Lobov was laid on the slipway at the Nikolaev shipyard of the shipbuilding plant. This is how the 2nd ship of project 1164 was built, from 1986 Marshal Ustinov. In February 25, 1982, he was launched.

Specifications

Warship of the 1st rank. passes overhaul and modernization from the summer of 2011, which will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. RK "Marshal Ustinov" is designed to combat AUG (carrier strike groups) in the waters of the oceans (range 7500 miles).

• Its length is 186.5 m
• width 20.8 m
• draft 7.6 m
• GEM power 105,000 hp
• It develops a maximum speed of 32 knots with the help of twin-shaft bladed propellers driven by 4 engines.
• A team of 510 people can carry out combat missions for 30 days in terms of food supplies.
• displacement 11.3 thousand tons

Missile weapons

The United States is expected to adopt the AGM-158C LRASM long-range anti-ship missile in 2018. If the radius of destruction of the current Harpoon does not exceed 280 km, then for the expected anti-ship missiles it will be more than 370 km. When launching them from surface ships (possibly close in terms of range to the domestic missile P-700 of the Granit complex). From aircraft carriers F-35C, F / A-18E / F and B-1B at subsonic speed, a modification of the LRASM-A with a range of up to 800 - 1000 km will be used. Unlike the hypersonic missiles still under development (Russia Mach 11 and Japan 5), this American development can be expected to be a more advanced analogue of the Jassm winged beast (stealth technology made of composite materials). In the summer and autumn, the Americans conducted successful tests, firing took place (including from a submerged position) - the target was hit high from the waterline. For decades, the CIA has been unable to collect data on the P-500 Basalt SCRC and the P-700 Granit SCRC. Western missiles are still vulnerable to domestic missile defense systems, which cannot be said about their missile defense systems.

SCRC P-500 and P-700 for project 1164

The Marshal Ustinov ship comes out with the Bazalt SCRC (supersonic Mach 2.5 P-500 anti-ship missiles) still corresponds to the nickname given to it by NATO (like all the rest of the 1164 project) - “Aircraft Carrier Killer”. It is impossible to intercept it because of the speed, flight path, the use of electronic warfare and armor. Target designation was provided by ship and aviation systems. Initially, the principle of aiming at the target "Let it go and forget it" was used. It's funny, during the years of the USSR, NATO found a simple way out of the situation - not to approach our RK (Moscow, Ustinov, Varyag) and all ships with this type of weapon, i.e. for 500 km. Complex "Granit" (P-700) is an improved "Basalt", with a perfect guidance system, data exchange between missiles, with a radius of destruction up to 550 km. And that's not all, already known to all anti-ship missiles "BrahMos" (aka P-800) gives us and India a range of 800 km.

What to expect from the rearmament of "Marshal Ustinov" 2016

What then to say about the P-1000 SCRC "Vulkan" (development of V.N. Chelomey and G.A. Efremov, 1987), with which our cruisers are being re-equipped. Imagine the Marshal Ustinov missile launcher, which fired 8 such missiles at once. The lead missile is located above the slave ones (low-flying, invulnerable to long-range air defense systems). If, suddenly, she was shot down, then one of the missiles takes the place of the leader. These missiles independently select the targets set for them at launch (only the type and class of the ship, and specifically its part - bow, stern, and central) are pre-set. If one missile has already chosen its target, then this data is sent to the rest, which will already select another target (each one its own). An exception may be in the case of an attack on big ship, if destroyers can get enough of the 1st missile, then aircraft carriers are supposed to get 3.

class="eliadunit">

It is the Marshal Ustinov missile launcher that will replace the launcher (launcher) with a heat-resistant one - the range of destruction in this case will be maximum - 1000 km. Moskva and Varyag will still have the P-500 launch boosters, and this is a radius to the target of 700 km. (also P-700 "Volcanoes"). All means of targeting are used: a ship, a helicopter, an airplane, a satellite. The warhead of an 11.7-meter rocket with a wingspan of 2.6 m is a high-explosive-cumulative 500 kg or nuclear 350 kt. Its diameter is 0.88 m. The accuracy of hitting with an error of 1 meter when launching 2 missiles at one point. On both sides there are 8 launchers, with the possibility of simultaneously launching 8 missiles at once. The rest of the weapons may remain the same, and here we are waiting for improvements from the military-industrial complex

air defense

S-300F "Fort" air defense system for long-range purposes

The S-300F "Fort" air defense system is capable of destroying high-speed maneuverable small-sized objects in the altitude range from ultra-low (25 m) to extra-large (25 km). The target speed for the type of missiles 5V55RM is 50 - 1300 m / s, the 48N6E missile intercepts the target with a speed of 3000 m / s. At the same time, 12 missiles are launched, accompanied by 6, with a missile length of 7.25 m, a diameter of 0.51 m, a wingspan of 1.125 m, a mass of 1665 kg for slower targets and 1900 kg for faster targets. High-explosive fragmentation warhead 130 and 145 kg. Cooldown 3 sec. revolver type is inferior to honeycomb structures in salvo launch speed (1 sec.) and takes up 2.5 times more space (the same amount less missiles). The number of missiles is 64 units.

SAM complex M-4 "Osa-M" for short-range purposes

The ship has 2 automated anti-aircraft complex SAM M-4 "Osa-M" for 2 missiles 9M33. For hitting targets at altitudes of 2 - 4,000 m at a distance of up to 15 km. Solid propellant rocket weighing 128 kg, 3.16 m long, 0.21 m in diameter, with a wingspan of 0.65 m. Reload time 20 seconds, quantity 40 missiles.

Anti-aircraft artillery AK-630

With the help of the AK-630, it is possible to hit both air targets up to 4 km and surface targets at a distance of up to 5 km. Combat crew of 1 person, remote control, rate of fire 30 mm. high-explosive fragmentation shells 5000 high / min. 16 thousand ammunition for 2000 pieces / tape.

Ship gun AK-130

The 130 mm caliber gun is double-barreled, in general it is an AU (automated installation) with a rate of fire of 90 high / min. Firing range 23 km. It can also hit air targets, there are shells with remote and radar shells (for anti-ship missiles and aircraft).

ASW defense

RBU-6000

Two effective RBU-6000 rocket launchers have been in service since 1961. Purpose: destruction of enemy submarines and torpedoes. Bombs weighing 120 kg. (96 pieces) sink in 11.6 seconds. at 450 m and within a radius of 6 - 50 m they hit an underwater target. Fire control systems are being improved in order to increase the accuracy and speed of destruction.

Torpedoing the enemies of "Marshal Ustinov"

From 2 five-tube torpedo tubes, 10 torpedoes with a caliber of 533 mm can be fired. Torpedoes 7 m, weighing 2 tons, carry a charge of 400 kg for a distance of 22 km at a speed of 55 knots. Torpedo tubes can launch Kalibr-type missiles both at underwater targets and at surface and ground targets. This is an additional "joy" for the "peace-loving" NATO.

carrier-based aviation

In order to detect and sink submarines at a distance of 200 km from the ship, 1 K-27PL reconnaissance helicopter is used. It can carry 2 torpedoes, detect all targets within a radius of 250 km.

In Russia, the Marshal Ustinov missile cruiser entered combat service after six years of repairs. After its commissioning, the Russian Navy got the fourth ship of this class.

Missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" returned to combat service after a six-year repair. This was stated by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a meeting of the board of the military department, Interfax reports.

According to him, the cruiser is being introduced "into the permanent readiness forces."

The repair itself on the cruiser was completed in December 2016. Then he returned to base Northern Fleet, in Severomorsk. On December 26, a “solemn ceremony of welcoming the cruiser” was held at the pier, the press service of the fleet said (quote from TASS).

Repairs on the cruiser began in 2011. Initially, they wanted to carry out a “medium repair” on the cruiser. However, later, in 2013, it was decided to carry out a "serious modernization". In particular, instead of the originally installed anti-ship missile system"Basalt" (firing range - up to 500 km), it was decided to put the complex "Volcano" (range - up to 700 km), Interfax was told at the main headquarters of the Navy. Also on the ship, repairs were made to the structures of the ship's hull, mechanisms of propellers and rudders, the main power plant and other systems.

In October 2016, the cruiser went to sea for factory sea trials. During them, the ship passed 4 thousand nautical miles. At the same time, the Vice President of the United shipbuilding corporation in military shipbuilding, Igor Ponomarev stated that the cruiser would enter combat service before the end of 2016.

The cruiser of the Northern Fleet "Marshal Ustinov", undergoing repairs and modernization at the Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center defense shipyard in Severodvinsk, will be armed with a new missile system and will return to service in 2016. Nikolay Kalistratov, General Director of the enterprise, told TASS on September 29.
"It was decided to put on the ship a new complex (missile weapons), which is not yet available. The ship will be handed over to the Russian Navy, as stipulated by the contract, in 2016," he said.

"Marshal Ustinov" arrived at the Zvezdochka berth in June 2011 for scheduled repairs. In November 2012, it was lifted out of the water and placed on a solid slipway base. In the dock, work was carried out to repair the drainage, drainage and fire-fighting systems of the ship, the shaft line, propellers, stabilizers, other systems and mechanisms, to paint the outer hull and tanks. In June 2013, the cruiser was launched and modernization work continued afloat. Earlier it was reported that the cruiser will be handed over to the Navy after modernization in 2015.
The missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" was laid down on the Nikolaevsky shipyard in 1978. He was accepted into the combat strength of the Northern Fleet in September 1986. In 1994-1997, it underwent modernization at the St. Petersburg JSC "Severnaya Verf".
"Marshal Ustinov" - missile cruiser of project 1164 "Atlant". Its displacement is 11.38 thousand tons, length - 186 meters, width - 20.8 meters, speed - up to 34 knots (about 63 kilometers per hour), cruising range - about 8 thousand miles, crew - 510 people. The main armament is 16 launchers of P-500 Bazalt supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The Russian Navy has three such missile cruisers: "Moskva" - in the Black Sea Fleet, "Varyag" - in the Pacific and "Marshal Ustinov" - in the North.

ship history. many pictures

- The second ship of project 1164 - missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" laid down in 1978, launched in 1982, commissioned into the Northern Fleet September 21, 1986.

Minister of Defense of the USSR (1976-1984) Marshal of the Soviet Union Dmitry Fedorovich Ustinov, after whom the ship is named.

The cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" (project 1164, code "Atlant") entered the fleet in 1986. The displacement of the ship is 9800/11300 tons. Speed ​​- 32 knots, cruising range - 6800 miles, autonomy - 30 days, crew - 476 people, including 62 officers. The main weapon is the Bazalt cruise missiles.

In March 1987, the RRC "Marshal Ustinov" made the transition from Sevastopol to Severomorsk and took a place in the battle formation of the Red Banner Northern Fleet.

The armament of the missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov"

anti-ship - 16 launchers of the complex, originally "Basalt" (anti-ship missiles P-500), and since 1997 - "Volcano" (ammunition load of 16 anti-ship missiles P-1000) a rocket weighing up to 6 tons and a flight speed of 3077 km / h with partial armor is equipped powerful (500 kg) conventional high-explosive-cumulative or nuclear (350 kt) warhead and is capable of hitting designated targets at ranges up to 1000 km. The flight of anti-ship missiles to the target is carried out along a complex trajectory. It is equipped with a telecontrol system and an onboard electronic countermeasures station for the attacked ship's air defense systems. Rocket length 11.7 m, wingspan 2.6m, rocket diameter 0.88 m.

In short, the P-1000 Vulkan SCRC is a highly improved Basalt. Its development began shortly after the creation of the P-500 (05/15/1978) in connection with the constant increase in the range of attack carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy. The "Basalt" complex was modernized and put into service on 10/13/1987, but already under the name "Volcano", from which it follows that RRC pr. 1164 armed with "Volcano" and only "Volcano".

During a three-year renovation in 1994 - 1997. the missile cruiser has been upgraded.At the RRC "Marshal Ustinov" during the middle repair of the SCRC "Basalt" was upgraded under the P-1000 anti-ship missiles of the Vulkan complex. However, these anti-ship missiles cannot use regular launch stages, since their operation can lead to the destruction of the launcher. As a result, they are equipped with P-500 anti-ship missile launchers, which somewhat reduces the flight range. For unknown reasons (economic, political, technical or production nature), the Vulkan SCRC was installed on the cruisers of the 1164th project in a truncated form- without replacing the SM-248 fiberglass launchers with new ones made of heat-resistant alloys, allowing the use of 3M70 missiles with launch-accelerating solid-propellant rocket engines of a new design (as an option, the Varyag has heat-resistant launchers, but anti-ship missiles with powerful launchers are not yet produced).

For this reason, the Marshal Ustinov RRC is armed with the Vulkan SCRC with 3M70 missiles equipped with launch boosters from the 4K80 RCC of the decommissioned Bazalt complex. In connection with the above. it remains to be assumed that the range of the Vulkan SCRC today is either the same as that of the Bazalt (550 km), or (according to some sources) 150 km more due to a decrease in the mass of the rocket.

anti-submarine - two torpedo tubes (10 torpedo ammunition for combating enemy submarines) caliber 533 mm, length 7 m, weight 2 tons, explosive charge 400 kg, range up to 22 km, speed up to 55 knots (100 km/h);

Two RBU-6000 rocket launchers (ammunition of 96 rocket depth charges, bomb weight 110 kg, warhead weight 25 kg, length 1.8 m, caliber 212 mm) rocket depth charges are designed mainly to protect the ship from torpedoes and submarines, by conducting single or salvo firing, firing range 6 km, immersion depth 500 m;

Ship-based anti-submarine helicopter Ka-25/Ka-27 with a hangar and a helipad.

Two-gun naval artillery mount - 130 mm AK-130 (600 rounds of ammunition) is designed for firing for sea, air and coastal targets at a distance of up to 24 km, with a rate of fire of 90 rds / min. The mass of the installation reaches 98 tons, the mass of the projectile is 86 kg, the initial velocity of the projectile is 850 m/s. The AK-130 ammunition load includes unitary cartridges with a high-explosive fragmentation projectile, equipped with three types of fuses.

Six ZAK - AK-630 (ammunition load of 16,000 rounds of 2,000 rounds in a tape) are intended to destroy air targets, anti-ship missiles, small ships, pop-up mines and lightly armored ground targets. starting speed a projectile with a diameter of 30 mm, a mass of 0.834 kg reaches 900 m / s, a rate of fire of 6000 rds / min, a range of up to 8 km.

Two installations of the Osa-MA air defense system (ammunition load of 48 missiles, missile mass 128 kg) of short range are intended for self-defense of the ship from attacks by aircraft, helicopters and anti-ship missiles, as well as firing at surface targets. The combat capabilities of the air defense system make it possible to destroy air targets at a speed of up to 600 m / s at a distance of up to 15 km and an altitude of up to 5 km, the length of the missile is 3 m, and the weight is 128 kg.

Eight S-300F Fort air defense systems (64 missiles in 8 revolver-type launchers below deck, length - 7.9 m, diameter - 0.34 m, weight - 1600 kg) are intended to protect the orders of ships from attacks by aircraft, cruise missiles and other means of enemy air attack, speed up to 2000 m/s, range up to 90 km and up to 25 km in height.

Missile cruiser project 1164 "Marshal Ustinov", 1987. Northern Fleet

The first commander of the "Marshal Ustinov", then Captain 2nd Rank Vladimir Veregin, managed with a lieutenant corps, consisting of 63 young officers, within three years to make the advanced ship of the Northern Fleet out of a new-built cruiser, which it was not a shame to send in 1989 on a visit to the Norfolk base under the flag of Vice Admiral Igor Kasatonov, Deputy Commander of the Northern Fleet.

December 17, 1997 on the missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" scheduled repairs ended, which dragged on for three years. At the St. Petersburg JSC Severnaya Verf, the cruiser, among other things, received a new power plant.

On February 24, 2001, Minsk, the capital of Belarus, took patronage over the cruiser. Legally, this fact was secured by an agreement signed by the chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee and the commander of the ship.
In 2002, "Marshal Ustinov" participated in the collection-campaign of the fleet forces in the Barents Sea.

In 2003, he took part in the largest naval exercises in the Baltic in the last 20 years. From the cruiser, the presidents observed the course of operations to repel a massive missile attack on the order of ships and to counter the aircraft of a mock enemy, to search for and destroy a submarine. Russian Federation V. Putin and Poland A. Kwasniewski.

Commander of the RRC "Marshal Ustinov" (in 2006), Captain 1st Rank Pavel Kravchenko : “Is twenty years old for our ship and what is the secret of its longevity? I think the main thing is people, their selfless work. What was laid down by the first crew, the first commander of the cruiser, was reverently, carefully and competently preserved by subsequent generations of the Ustinovites. And only thanks to this the ship is alive and in the composition of the forces of constant readiness of the Northern Fleet.

In 2012, the command of the Russian Navy planned to transfer the Marshal Ustinov missile cruiser from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet. According to a source in the Main Headquarters of the Navy, "Marshal Ustinov" "is more needed in such a large-scale and complex theater of operations as the Pacific." As expected, before the transfer to the Pacific Fleet, the ship will undergo an average repair in 2011. Some observers believe that the cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" will be replaced in the Northern Fleet by the cruiser "Ukraine" (if it is purchased from Ukraine).

In fact, in June 2011, the missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" moored in Severodvinsk to the berth of the defense enterprise "Zvezdochka" for scheduled repairs andcarrying out outfitting work on the modernization of the ship. Work to restore the technical readiness of the cruiser is carried out under the state contract. In November 2012, the Marshal Ustinov RKR was raised from the water and put on the slipway. During the dock stage of the repair, the ship's drainage, drainage and fire-fighting systems, shaft lines, propellers, motion stabilizers, and other systems and mechanisms were repaired. Works on repair and painting of the outer hull and tanks were also carried out.

On June 25, 2013, the missile cruiser was moored at a shallow embankment for fitting-out modernization work. The shipbuilders will have to replace more than 50 percent of the cable routes, upgrade the missile system, communications and intelligence systems. It was planned that the repair work on the cruiser will be completed during 2014.

Zvyozdochka CA launched the Marshal Ustinov missile cruiser. Severodvinsk, June 25, 2013

In the process of carrying out repair work, the general director of the Zvyozdochka Ship Repair Center Vladimir Nikitin clarifies: “At Ustinov, we were faced with the fact that the amount of repairs that were actually required as a result of defect detection significantly exceeded those originally planned. Given the significant increase in the scope of work, we plan to return the Ustinov to the fleet by the end of 2015.”
“For the first time, the enterprise is repairing a surface ship of the first rank in the factory. Prior to this, ships of this size were simply being repaired according to technical condition, the work concerned individual systems and was carried out at the place of deployment ", Nikitin said.
He noted that the bulk of the work is now focused on replacing cables, and when the ship was docked, such work was not expected. However, after a detailed diagnosis, it turned out that most of the cable routes need to be changed.
"Part gas turbines we replace them with new ones, others are repaired by Proletarsky Zavod (an enterprise in St. Petersburg). The missile complex is also being restored. After that, the ship will receive new term services", Nikitin emphasized.
In addition, the Russian Navy, together with the Zvezdochka shipbuilders, are preparing to repair all the cruisers of this project in the future. “We expect that, following Ustinov with Black Sea Fleet“Moscow” will come to Severodvinsk, and “Varyag” from the Pacific. The ships will replace each other. Let's hand over one ship, take the next one"- said the general director of the shipyard.
It is assumed that the cruiser can be transferred from Severomorsk to Vladivostok to strengthen the grouping of surface ships of the Pacific Fleet.

Now on the missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" electronic weapons have been modernized.

The picture shows that the ship received a new three-coordinate radar station (RLS) early warning"Boletus" (square-shaped antenna in the central part of the cruiser above the chimneys) and optimized for detecting low-flying targets radar "Fregat-M2M" with phased antenna arrays (a pair of rectangular antennas above the bow superstructure)

The picture shows that the ship received a new three-coordinate radar station (radar) for long-range detection "Boletus" (a square-shaped antenna in the central part of the cruiser above the chimneys) and an optimized for detecting low-flying targets radar "Fregat-M2M" with phased antenna arrays (a pair of rectangular antennas forms above the nasal superstructure). The new radars were installed to replace the MR-600 Voskhod and MR-710 Fregat-M radars, which were part of the MR-800 Flag radar system installed on the ship during its construction.

There is hope that in 2015, having left the repair with modernization, the Marshal Ustinov RRC will become the first ship of Project 1164, armed with a full-fledged Vulkan complex with a range of 1000 km. In this case, by modernizing the Moskva and Varyag and completing the Liana ICRC system, the Russian Navy will receive a radical means of countering the US Navy AUG.

Let me remind you that Marshal Ustinov is a Project 1164 Atlant missile cruiser. The displacement of the ship is 11280 tons, its length is 186.5 m, width is 20.8 m, height is 42.5 m. The speed is 32 knots. The ship can accommodate 510 people.

The construction of the cruiser began in 1978 at the Nikolaev Shipyard. In 1986 he was admitted to the Navy THE USSR.

Repair of the ship began back in 2011 in Severodvinsk at the Zvyozdochka enterprise. (you can see the video of his arrival for repairs, and here (27th anniversary)). A year and a half later, the ship was put on a solid slipway base for work in the underwater part of the vessel, repair of propellers, various systems, and for painting the hull. In 2013, Marshal Ustinov was launched. Specialists continued to modernize the ship.

Unfortunately, I was not allowed to post all the pictures of the ship, despite the fact that many of them are harmless. But they have pipes, cable routes, in general, everything that the ship needs to complete the repair :).

By the way, a few years ago I was on this ship and I will put some of the old ones here. It will be then and now. But, unfortunately, such pictures will be few. Due to the fact that everything was in ruins, I took very few pictures then, it was a shame to show.

Kubrick "Then" Scary.

Kubrick Now. By the way, in the photo is not the same cabin, but another, but they are all made like here and there are practically no differences. The only thing that bothers me here is the carpet. Doesn't fit.

Another version of the cube. On the first poster there is such an inscription: "Comrades, Ustinovites! 2016 is the year of completion of repairs and transition to the city of Severomorsk. We will direct all efforts towards the qualitative completion of repair work and the development of new equipment!"

We pass to the wardroom. So it was "Then". Unfortunately, only such a picture, but at that moment only these parts of the walls and signs were intact. Everything else was removed: ceiling, floor, lamps. Everywhere there were wires and cables, exposed walls and so on. Too bad I didn't take a picture of the whole room.
