TSAMTO, January 11. It has been 40 years since the first raising of the Naval Flag on the large anti-submarine ship (BOD) of the Northern Fleet "Vice Admiral Kulakov".
Together with the Naval Flag and the huys, on January 10, the topgallant flags and flags of coloring were raised in a festive version.
A solemn rally was held on the helipad of the ship, which was attended by the fleet command, the crew of the BOD and Navy veterans.
During the event, an order was read out to encourage the ship's personnel and award distinguished servicemen.
In 2021, the crew of the BOD "Vice Admiral Kulakov" took part in the Main Naval Parade in Kronstadt, and after its completion worked out individual episodes of practical actions in the Atlantic during the command and staff training on the management of forces and troops of the Northern Fleet.
From August 18 to September 23, 2021, the Severomorets performed tasks as part of a permanent operational unit of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. During this time, they made business visits to Algeria, Syria and Cyprus, and also conducted a number of exercises on various types of defense of a detachment of ships at sea crossing and worked out the search for submarines of a conditional enemy.
In October 2021, the Severomorets ensured the safety of civilian shipping off the coast of Africa in the Gulf of Guinea of the Atlantic Ocean. They inspected several civilian vessels and ensured the safe wiring of the Panamanian container ship "Lucia", preventing the hijacking by pirates of its crew, consisting of citizens of Ukraine, Russia and Romania.
For reference:
BOD "Vice Admiral Kulakov" was built at the Leningrad Shipbuilding Plant named after A.A. Zhdanov. On January 10, 1982, the Naval Flag was raised on it.
In 2010, a deep modernization of the ship was completed at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg, as part of which the weapons and life support systems were replaced at the Vice Admiral Kulakov BOD.
The crew of the ship has repeatedly participated in long-distance trips to the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic Sea zone and the Arctic.
The "birthday" of the ship is celebrated on the next anniversary from the moment the ship was accepted into the fleet and the crew began performing tasks for its intended purpose, the press service of the Northern Fleet reports.
