Ship history:
Project 775 large landing ship
In the USSR Navy, the main motive for the emergence of new types of ships was the experience of combat services, according to which it was found that a large landing ship (BDK) was supposed to carry one battalion, a medium landing ship (SDK) - a company, and a small landing ship (MDK) - a platoon . Only the BDK pr.1171, which was already in service, fully met these requirements, but absolutely did not satisfy the SDK pr.770, 771 and 773. For this reason, in 1968, at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral S.G. Gorshkov was given a tactical and technical task for the design of a new KFOR project 775.
The design of the new KFOR was carried out in Poland, the chief designer was the Polish shipbuilding engineer O. Vysotsky, the chief observer from the USSR Navy was first captain 1st rank B.M. Molozhozhnikov, then civilian specialist M.I. Rybnikov, senior representative of the customer - engineer L. V. Lugovin. During the design process, the ships were reclassified into BDKs of the second rank due to a significant increase in displacement.
The lead ship "SDK-47" (building number 1) pr. 775 was built at the shipyard "Stocznіa Polnocna" ("Northern shipyard", where the engineer B. Standura was the head) in Poland in 1974. The first series of ships, which consisted of 12 KFOR, was completed in 1978. In the west, these ships were dubbed as "Ropucha І" - this is how the word "frog" is pronounced in English transcription.
The second series of 16 SDKs (project 775.ІІ or "Ropucha II") was completed in 1992. The ships of the second series were distinguished by other general detection radars, and starting from the third ship of the series - by other gun mounts (one 76-mm AK-176 and two 30mm AK-630s instead of two 57mm AK-572s). It was also planned to build a third series of project 775 specifically for the new T-80 tanks (in some sources referred to as "project 778"), but the collapse of the Soviet Union interrupted the construction of these ships. The lead BDK of this series "Rear Admiral Gren" was discontinued by construction and handed over for scrap in 1992 - 1993.
BDK construction this project was carried out by order of the USSR exclusively for its fleet. Not a single ship of project 775 became part of the Navy of the allied powers under the Warsaw Pact. The only exception can be considered only one BDK, transferred to Yemen in 1979 from the Soviet forces, which were based in the Indian Ocean.
Landing ship pr.775 by design is a multi-deck, flat-bottomed landing ship of the ocean zone with a forecastle and a developed aft superstructure. By design, it refers to ships made according to the "Ro-Ro" system - with a tank deck that runs along the entire length of the ship. Its main purpose is to receive caterpillar, wheeled and any military transport equipment and infantry subsections of equipment from an equipped or non-equipped coast, transport them by sea and disembark on both equipped and non-equipped coasts with a small bottom slope through an open bow device, as well as receive from water, transportation by sea and launching of floating equipment through an open bow or stern device.
The ship can be used to lay minefields, deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate people from dangerous areas. In addition, the landing ship can be used for military transportation, providing ships and parts of the fleet at dispersed bases.
The BDK can be used with various loading options: 150 paratroopers and 10 T-55 tanks with a crew of 40 people; 12 PT-76 amphibious tanks with a crew of 36; a unit consisting of 3 tanks of the T-55 type with a crew of 12 people, 3 120-mm mortars, 3 combat vehicles of the 2G 27 type, 4 ZIL-130 vehicles, 4 GAZ-66 and one GAZ-69 SUV. The personnel of the landing - 147 people of the landing. The ship is capable of transporting a cargo weighing 650 tons over a distance of 4700 miles and sailing in all non-freezing seas and oceans without restrictions.
The landing party is placed in the tank hold (length - 95 g, width of the bow - 6.5 g, width of the stern - 4.5 g, height along the diametrical plane - 4.0 m), and can be landed on an equipped, unequipped coast or on the sea surface with a sea state of up to 4 points and a wind force of up to 5 points. The personnel of the landing force is accommodated in several cockpits and 4-seater officer's cabins.
Landing is carried out with the help of a nasal landing device, which includes a nasal gate and a ramp. An amphibious landing with non-floating equipment can be carried out directly on an equipped or non-equipped coast with a minimum bottom slope of 2-3 degrees (depending on the generalized mass of cargo taken on board). The presence of a bow ramp and stern gate allows you to connect several ships to create a kind of "bridge". Nose entry dimensions: width - 4.8 g, height - 5.5 g. Feed entry dimensions: width and height - 5.5 g.
As a rule, Project 775 ships operate as part of a naval landing group or as part of a detachment of peacekeeping forces, but can perform their functions independently, without cover ships.
The large landing ship "BDK-67" of project 775/II was built in Gdansk (Poland) in 1988 (serial number 775/25).Commissioned on 04/30/1988, became part of the Black Sea Fleet.
In 1997, "BDK-67" took part in the international exercises "Fairway of Peace - 97", in 1998 - in the international exercises "Sea Breeze-98". In 1999, "BDK-67" completed the government task of transporting the Russian peacekeeping contingent to Thessaloniki (Greece). In 2000, the ship completed the government task of exporting military equipment from Georgia.
Since June 2001, the administration of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation has patronized the ship. On January 3, 2002, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Russian Federation, the ship was given a new name - "Yamal".
In July 2002, the BDK "Yamal" participated in providing a sea procession along the Black Sea in honor of the first anniversary of the canonization of St. Admiral F.F. Ushakov. And in October, he participated in events dedicated to the memory day of Admiral Fyodor Ushakov on the island of Kerkyra (Corfu).
In June 2003, the BDK participated in a business call to the Egyptian Port Said as part of a detachment of Black Sea Fleet ships. In October 2003, he made an official visit to the Greek island of Corfu, timed to coincide with the days of memory of the famous Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, under whose command Russian sailors liberated the island of Corfu from foreign invaders in 1799, with a visit to the islands of Spetses, Syros, as well as the ports of Pylos and Piraeus .
At present, the Yamal large landing ship is part of the 197th brigade of landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet and is actively used in exercises and combat training of the fleet.
This ship in different time commanded:
- Captain 2nd rank I. Gavrish;
- Captain 2nd rank A. Kononenko;
- Captain 3rd rank A. Gritsai;
- Captain 2nd rank Valery Polyakov;
- Captain 3rd rank Valentin Tyutkalo.
The 197th landing ship brigade is an active formation of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. It is based in Sevastopol. Includes large landing ships of project 1171 "Nikolai Filchenkov", "Orsk" (not in service) and "Saratov", as well as project 775 and 775M "Azov", "Novocherkassk", "Caesar Kunikov" and "Yamal".
