TSAMTO, November 11. At the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation), the mine defense ship of project 12700 "Anatoly Shlemov" was taken out of the workshop.
Specialists of the shipyard have completed work on the formation of the hull and part of the superstructure of the ship, saturating them with systems and mechanisms. Further completion work will be carried out outside the workshop. The factory workers will have to complete the formation of the superstructure of the minesweeper, carry out the installation of a tower-mast device, antenna equipment and ship-wide systems. The launch of the ship is scheduled for the end of November 2021.
The ship of the PMO "Anatoly Shlemov" was laid down in July 2019. It became the seventh ship of the project 12700 line, the construction of which the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard is commissioned by the Navy of the Russian Federation (Russian Navy). The ship is named in honor of the honored shipbuilder who worked in various positions in the Main Directorate of Shipbuilding of the Navy, as well as the director of the State Defense Order Department of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, Vice Admiral Anatoly Fedorovich Shlemov.
The 12700 project was developed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) for the Russian Navy. These ships belong to a new generation of minesweeping forces and are designed to combat sea mines, which new PMO ships can detect both in the water of marine waters and in the sea soil without entering the danger zone. To combat mines, ships can use various types of trawls, as well as remote-controlled and autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles.
During the construction of such ships at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard, the latest Russian technologies are used, which have no analogues in the world shipbuilding. The ships of this project have a unique, the world's largest hull made of monolithic fiberglass formed by vacuum infusion. The mass of such a case is significantly lower compared to a metal one, while its strength increases significantly. The case is not afraid of corrosion, and the service life, subject to the norms of operation, is unlimited.
