The sailors themselves characterize this ship not just as a powerful, maneuverable vessel, but as a "super-efficient and nimble frigate."
Ship history
The frigate "Admiral Essen" is one of the six "watchdogs", which, according to two contracts concluded by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with the Yantar shipyard, should join and strengthen the Russian Navy by 2020.
Construction of the ship began in 2011. It was already launched in 2014. And in the summer of 2016, after passing the state. tests, the patrol frigate "Admiral Essen" took its place among the ships of the Russian Navy.
The name of the ship was in honor of the great naval commander Russian Empire, the man who practically revived the Baltic Fleet after the Tsushima tragedy and subsequently became its commander, Nikolai Ottovich von Essen.
"Admiral Essen" - a frigate, which is an analogue of three ships belonging to project 11356, built specifically for the Indian Navy, but at the same time having its own, modified armament required for Russian fleet.
Purpose of the vessel
"Admiral Essen" is a frigate, which is a multi-purpose patrol ship designed to perform combat missions and conduct combat operations both as part of formations of ships and independently.
Thanks to the inherent capabilities, the frigate is capable of:
- search for enemy submarines with their subsequent destruction;
- as part of an escort, to carry out effective protection of ships not only from underwater and surface watercraft of the enemy, but also from air attack;
- provide fire support from the sea for combat operations conducted by ground forces, as well as ensure the delivery and landing of amphibious assault forces;
- to conduct sentinel service, patrolling, as well as the protection of sea lanes.
The frigate "Admiral Essen", the photo of which is presented to your attention above, has powerful technical characteristics.

State tests of the second patrol ship of project 11356, built at the Kaliningrad Yantar shipbuilding plant, which is part of the United shipbuilding corporation started on January 30, 2016
This decision was made by the chairman of the state commission working on board the Admiral Essen frigate. At present, the plant's commissioning team and the ship's crew are preparing for the first sea voyage, which will take place this week. State tests will last about a month, they will be held at the sea ranges of the Baltic Fleet. The transfer of the ship to the Russian Black Sea Fleet is scheduled for April 2016.
TFR "Admiral Essen" was laid down at the shipyard "Yantar" on July 8, 2011, launched on November 7, 2014, factory sea trials began on October 28, 2015. According to two contracts signed with the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the Yantar plant is building a series of six patrol ships of project 11356, developed by JSC "Northern Design Bureau".
The Russian fleet will do without Ukraine >>
On June 7, 2016, a new generation surface ship, the Project 11356 frigate Admiral Essen, will be accepted into the Navy. On this day, on a ship at the berth of Kaliningrad shipyard"Yantar" will host a solemn ceremony of raising the Naval Flag.
The frigate "Admiral Essen" is capable of effectively performing a wide range of tasks both singly and as part of heterogeneous groups of the Navy in the near and far sea zone. This year, after passing all the course tasks, the frigate "Admiral Essen" will make the transition to a permanent location in the Black Sea Fleet. The crew of the frigate was trained at the Joint training center Navy.
Modernization of the cruiser project "Orlan" >>
P.S. "Admiral Essen" (serial number 01358) is the second built at the PSZ "Yantar" for the Russian Navy, a frigate of a modified project 11356 under a contract dated October 28, 2010. The ship was laid down on July 8, 2011 and launched on November 7, 2014. The frigate entered the factory sea trials on November 5, 2015 and began the stage of State trials on January 30, 2016, completing them on April 19. The delivery of the Admiral Essen to the Russian Navy took place on June 7, 2016.
A photo of the newest patrol ship "Admiral Essen" of the modified project 11356 of the Russian Navy, which is being repaired in the floating dock PD-8 of the Yantar Baltic Shipbuilding Plant JSC in Kaliningrad, has appeared.
In preparation for the transition to the Black Sea Fleet on October 10, 2016, the Admiral Essen in Baltiysk received damage to propellers and one propeller shaft as a result of an erroneous maneuver when placing on barrels. As a result, the passage to the Black Sea, scheduled for October 16, was canceled, and on November 7 the ship was taken by tugboats to the Yantar plant, where it was put into the PD-8 floating dock for repairs. According to preliminary data, the repair will last until the end of December.
The nuclear submarine "Prince Pozharsky" was laid down >>
During the incident on October 10, on board the Admiral Essen, as a senior, was the deputy commander of the 30th division of surface ships of the Black Sea Fleet, Captain 1st Rank Vitaly Zvyagintsev (a former officer of the Ukrainian Navy, who transferred to the Russian Navy during the Crimean events in the spring of 2014). Contrary to the proposal of the commander of the frigate, Captain 2nd Rank Sergei Tomashkov, due to adverse weather conditions, to wait for tugboats to put the ship on barrels, Captain 1st Rank Zvyagintsev was ordered to moor on barrels on his own by the crew. At the same time, the frigate commander did not surrender control of the ship to a senior in rank, as required by Article 102 of the Ship Charter, and both officers continued to command “jointly”. As a result of incorrect actions of the command in such conditions, the barrels were dragged under the propellers and the ship received damage to both propellers and one of the propeller shafts.
Captain 2nd rank Sergei Tomashkov, due to the circumstances of the accident, will be removed from the post of commander of the frigate, however, according to unconfirmed reports, he is still listed as commander of the ship.
The ships of the Northern Fleet went to the coast of Syria >>
On April 28, 2017, the press service of the Southern Military District confirmed that the second frigate of project 11356 "Admiral Essen", built for the Black Sea Fleet, began the inter-fleet transition from the Baltic Fleet to its permanent base in Sevastopol.
The frigate entered the transition to the Black Sea Fleet from Kronstadt on the evening of April 18, 2017. On April 27, the commander of the Netherlands Navy and Admiral of the Benelux, Lieutenant General of the Fleet Rob Verkerk, on his twitter page said that the Admiral Essen was at the crossing in the North Sea and was accompanied by the landing helicopter dock L 800 Rotterdam of the Netherlands Navy near the Dutch coast.
Captain 2nd rank Anton Kuprin, who previously served as senior assistant commander, was appointed the new commander of the Admiral Essen. missile cruiser"Moscow" project 1164 of the Black Sea Fleet.
The frigate "Admiral Makarov" began state tests >>
The lead frigate of the Russian Navy of the modified project 11356 "Admiral Grigorovich" arrived from the Baltic to the Black Sea Fleet on June 9, 2016, becoming the first large surface warship to replenish the Black Sea Fleet since 1983. Since September 2016, it has been actively used for military service off the coast of Syria.
The third built frigate of project 11356 "Admiral Makarov" has been at the factory, and then State tests since July 2016. It is now assumed that the ship will be handed over to the Russian Navy in May 2017, after which it will also be transferred to the Black Sea Fleet by the end of the year. According to available information, the delay in the State tests "Admiral Makarov" is associated with the testing of a new anti-aircraft guided missile 9M317MA with an active radar homing head introduced into the composition.
The history of the construction of patrol ships in Russia has glorious and strong roots. Most of the ships that were in service with the Soviet Navy were ships of this particular class. The task of guarding the economic maritime zone of the USSR and defending coastal maritime lines fell on the shoulders of the guards. No less responsible functions and tasks are faced by ships of this class in our time. Project 11356 patrol ships remain by far the most modern and combat-ready ships that come off the stocks of domestic shipyards. Now it is no longer watchdogs, but frigates of project 11356 proudly carry the Andreevsky flag on the southern borders of Russia and make up a significant part of the navies of other countries.
The new frigates "Admiral Grigorovich" and "Admiral Essen" joined the ranks of the Black Sea Fleet, significantly strengthening the Black Sea Fleet with their appearance. At the final stage is the construction of four other ships of this type, which will also soon take their place in the combat formation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
The appearance of frigates in the domestic fleet
In the Soviet Union, unlike the fleets of other countries, patrol ships constituted the main tactical core of the fleets. This class of warships is a Soviet invention, despite the fact that ships with similar characteristics have long been classified as frigates in the West. With the collapse of the USSR, the classification of warships in the Russian Navy also changed. In accordance with the new Russian naval doctrine, all patrol ships, old and those built at domestic shipyards, were transferred to the frigate class.
For the Russian fleet, such a change is not new. In terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, the guards fully corresponded to the combat missions that the frigate is capable of solving. Moreover, the construction of frigates under export contracts was in full swing at Russian shipyards. The Indian Navy became the main buyer of Russian ships of this class. Since 2000, 6 Talwar-class frigates have been built, which became part of the Indian Navy.
It was the Indian order that became the basic platform, thanks to which it was possible not only to keep the entire domestic shipbuilding industry in working condition, but also to gain experience in building ships of this class to equip domestic fleets. Russian designers have finalized the basic design of the Talwar-class frigates, creating an improved version of the warships of this project. The frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" of project 11356 was laid down on the stocks of the shipyard "Yantar" by the end of 2012. The lead ship of the project laid the foundation new series domestic frigates of 6 units designed to equip the Black Sea Fleet.
The ships of the project received the code "Petrel". In Western countries, the new Russian frigates received the code "Krivak V".
History of Project 11356 frigates
Description of the history of the emergence of the project 11356, as always, is due to the fact that successful project could again be out of luck. Even in the Soviet Union, there was a fierce struggle between specialists and military experts who supported the construction of a new generation of watchdogs. According to military sailors, the new ships were to become universal combat units capable of solving a variety of combat missions. It was in this vein that the development project documentation. The concept of the implementation of two projects at once, project 22350 patrol boats and project 11356 ships, that existed at that time, turned out to be erroneous. The fleet could receive different types of ships, the maintenance of which could cause certain difficulties and economic difficulties in the future.
The modern naval doctrine of Russia was based on a policy of standardization, so it was decided to continue work on project 11356, which had already been mastered by the shipbuilding industry. Here it would be appropriate to recall that the new frigates were the result of a deep modernization of the Burevestnik-class patrol boats, which were built in a large series in previous years.
Soviet patrol boats of projects 1135 and 1135M turned out to be successful ships. It was the Petrels that became the workhorses on whose shoulders all the main work for the defense of the sea borders of our Motherland fell. A total of 28 ships of this class were built, of which 2 ships, the Inquisitive and Ladny TFRs, still remain part of the Black Sea Fleet. Russian designers took into account the combat experience and practical operation of the ships of projects 1135 and 1135M and the TFR of project 11351. As a result painstaking work a completely new ship appeared.
It should be noted that new project was successfully implemented during the implementation of the Indian contract. The six frigates for India built at the Baltic Shipyard and at the Yantar shipyard have successfully passed all stages of testing and continue to successfully serve in the Indian Navy. However, unlike the export version, the Russian ships of project 11356 will have to receive a completely different filling. In other words, the design of the ship is the same, but the equipment and weapons systems on Russian frigates will be radically different from the Indian project.
The implementation of project 11356 is primarily aimed at building warships for the Black Sea Fleet, which is in dire need of replenishment with new combat units. The characteristics of the new frigates are fully consistent with the goals and objectives that ships in the Black Sea theater face.
Construction of project 11356 frigates
All the main work on the development of the project fell on the shoulders of SKB. The documentation of the export contract 1135.6 became the basic technical material. The main task set before the designers was to create a project optimally adapted to the capacities of domestic shipbuilders. It was necessary to transfer new ships to the fleet as soon as possible, capable of increasing the defense capability of the southern borders. The lead ship of the Admiral Grigorovich series was laid down in 2010, when the fifth frigate for the Indian Navy was still being completed at the shipyards. Further, with a difference of one year, four more ships were laid down at the facilities of the Kaliningrad Yantar shipbuilding plant: Admiral Essen, Admiral Makarov, Admiral Butakov and Admiral Istomin, which were named after famous admirals of the Russian fleet.
The lead ship received a swift steel hull with an elongated forecastle. The bow of the ship and the contours of the underwater part of the hull have optimal hydrodynamic parameters that increase the seaworthiness of the ship and the stability of the ship. The superstructure on the frigate is divided into three separate blocks. characteristic feature The project is the presence on the ships of structural elements built using the Stealth technology. This was done to increase the secrecy of the ship and increase its security against anti-ship missiles and aircraft.
During construction, special importance was attached to the power plant, which was supposed to provide the ships with a long cruising range and high speed. result design work and subsequent construction was the installation of a combined twin-shaft gas turbine plant type COGAG. The propulsion system consisted of two marching gas turbine engines GTE driving two fixed-pitch propellers. In addition, the ship was equipped with two forced engines, providing a rapid increase in speed. The total power of the ship's propulsion system was 56 thousand hp, thanks to which the frigate could reach speeds of up to 30 knots. The ship's power supply system was provided by four diesel generators with a total capacity of 3200 kW.
The ship's economic cruising range (14 knots) is 4,500 km. At the same time, the autonomy of the frigates of the new series has been increased to 30 days.
Unlike ships of previous projects, modern ships have new weapons and modern electronic filling. The frigates had not only a landing area for a helicopter, but were also equipped with an aircraft hangar. All ships were equipped with Ka-27 helicopters that acted as an air reconnaissance aircraft. The combat equipment and controls of the ship are designed to perform various combat missions, including counteracting enemy surface ships, repelling attacks from the air, and searching for and destroying submarines.
The first two ships of the series "Admirals Grigorovich and Essen" were laid down in accordance with the terms and conditions of the first batch of one large contract. The third ship of the first batch should be the frigate Admiral Makarov. The total cost of building frigates of six Project 11356 frigates is 80 billion rubles. Following the first batch of three vessels, construction began on the second batch, which included the frigates Admiral Butakov, Admiral Istomin and Admiral Kornilov. The last ship has so far only been presented as part of a working draft and is awaiting its laying.
All ships of the series were laid down, built and launched at the facilities of the Yantar plant. The ships of the first batch "Admiral Grigorovich" and "Admiral Essen" managed to get a complete set, and were put into operation in a timely manner. Some delays fell to the frigate "Admiral Makarov", which received the main gas turbine engine late. Subsequent frigates are waiting in line for the supply of propulsion systems. The cessation of deliveries of gas turbine engines from Ukraine slowed down the time for commissioning combat ships.
Armament of Russian frigates of project 11356
Relying on the versatility of the new ships, the High Naval Command set the designers the task of equipping the ship with the currently existing types of weapons.
The main armament of the frigates of the new project is the Kalibr anti-ship missile systems. Launchers have a vertical arrangement and can be used simultaneously for missiles of both types "Onyx" and Caliber. The launchers were created on the basis of the export version, the Club-N missile system. Shock missile system is intended for the destruction of surface ships and submarines of all types and classes, as well as for strikes against coastal targets to tactical depth. On the frigates "Admiral Grigorovich", "Admiral Essen" and "Admiral Makarov" anti-ship missiles "Caliber-NK" are installed, capable of inflicting fire damage on sea targets at a distance of up to 400 km. The ZM-14 missile can be re-equipped for firing at land targets. The firing range for missiles of this modification is 2000-2500 km.
analogues missile system Club-N among foreign anti-ship systems on this moment does not exist. All work on guidance and pre-launch preparation is carried out automatically.
Traditionally, ships have artillery weapons. New artillery complex AU A-190 is represented by an automatic 100 mm gun capable of effectively firing at air, sea and land targets. The gun system has been successfully tested on frigates built for the Indian Navy. Effective fire can be fired from a gun at a distance of up to 20 km. The new gun mount has a lightweight design, which was specially designed to equip ships with a small displacement.
The anti-submarine armament of the ships consists of two twin torpedo tubes for launching torpedoes with a caliber of 533 mm. The launchers of the "Club-N" system can be used to launch the anti-submarine modification of the Caliber missiles. In addition to them, the frigates are equipped with RBU-6000 rocket launchers.
To repel an air attack, new Russian ships equipped with a multi-channel air defense system "Shtil-1". This weapon is capable of providing all-round defense of the ship against air attacks. As an auxiliary tool in the fight against low-flying targets, the ship is equipped with the Kashtan missile and artillery system. The system includes guided missiles and two AO-18K six-barrel guns. The system is capable of effectively combating cruise missiles and low-flying small targets.
As for the electronic filling of the frigates of project 11356, all the latest developments were implemented here. Fire control is carried out by means of the Puma FCS, capable of providing long-range search, target acquisition and tracking. The ship's control system is represented by the new Demand-M complex, through which all information coming from the ship's posts passes. Automation fully controls the combat use of weapons, based on an assessment of the current situation and the level of potential danger.
Management of all systems of the ship and maintenance of the main mechanisms and units is carried out by a crew of 180 people. For the first time, the ships of the Russian fleet provide for the placement of a unit marines in the amount of 18 fighters.
Epilogue
The new Russian frigates have become a real godsend for the naval command. Project 11356 ships entered service with the Black Sea Fleet in a timely manner, significantly increasing the combat power and tactical capabilities of connecting surface ships on the southern flank.
The aggravated situation in the Black Sea maritime theater, the unpredictability of the situation in Syria, pose new challenges for new ships. Powerful and fast ships are able to control the situation in the entire Black Sea basin. The strike weapons installed on the ships are capable of delivering tactical strikes against targets located far beyond the area of responsibility of the Russian Navy.
